Motorized running cycle

A bike comprising:

• a front fork rotatably engaged with a front wheel;
• a rear fork rotatably engaged with a rear wheel;
• a handlebar coupled to the front fork for steering the bike;
• a frame extending between and connecting the front fork and the rear fork;
• an electronic controller coupled to the frame;
• a throttle input operable by a rider of the bike;
• a throttle sensor coupled to the electronic controller and operable to detect a position of the throttle input;
• a drivetrain assembly coupled to the frame, the drivetrain assembly having an electric motor configured to selectively drive the rear wheel in response to the position of the throttle input detected by the throttle sensor;
• a battery configured to selectively provide power to the drivetrain assembly;
• a clutch lever coupled to the handlebar, the clutch lever configured to be actuated by an operator to proportionally increase or decrease power to the drivetrain assembly, without disconnecting the drivetrain assembly from the rear wheel;
• and
• a sound system, wherein a sound is transmitted through the sound system to produce variable motor revving sounds in response to movement of the clutch lever.
