    Need advise on getting electric bike that goes at least 20 mph, 40 mile range?

    in the UK electric bikes are legally limited to 14mph; don't bother converting an existing bike. £1000+ will get something good, the cheap ones are over weight dogs. P.S. if you don't mind pedalling then why not just buy a bike, it's a sight 'greener' than a bike containing heavy metal based...

    Could I use this bike for "freestyle" riding or doing tricks?

    I wouldn't, it's a race bike designed for racing, not freestyle. They are 2 different things and the design differences are subtle but definite. Race BMXs simply aren't designed for the abuse/hard life of a freestyle BMX.

    What do I need to be concerned about for my first mountain biking experience?

    I don't know that concern is the right attitude, it's meant to be fun. Take it easy to begin with and don't expect to do 30 miles on your first trip. Wear a helmet, take it easy and enjoy.

    another bike question :D xx?

    E-bay for old parts and accessories. If the rust is on chrome try 'autosol' or any other chrome polish. If the rust is elsewhere (frame etc) then short of touch uppaint or a full respray there is little you can do other than paint 'rust inhibitor' onto the affected areas, that'll stop it getting...
