A power assisted vehicle comprising:

• a frame connected to at least a rear fork capable of supporting a wheel having a first driven sprocket assembly and a second driven sprocket assembly;
• a rechargeable electrical power supply including at least one battery and attached to the frame;
• a motor controller attached to the frame, the power supply being electrically connected to the motor controller;
• an electric motor supported by the frame and attached to a first driving sprocket which is coupled to the first driven sprocket assembly;
• a manual pedal assembly supported by the frame and comprising a pedal crank shaft, two pedals and a second driving sprocket that is coupled to the second driven sprocket assembly;
• a battery saddle coupled to the frame, wherein the battery is supported by the battery saddle;
• and
• a lockable lever attached to the battery saddle and configured to control removal of the battery wherein the lockable lever is lockable with a manual key activated lock.

A semi-flexible cable harness assembly for a power assisted vehicle comprising:

• a first cable harness housing attached to a fork of the vehicle, said housing pivoting with the fork;
• a second cable harness housing attached to the frame of the vehicle;
• and
• a cable harness twisting member that connects the first cable harness housing to the second cable harness housing, said cable harness twisting member being substantially co-linear with the pivoting axis of the fork;
• wherein the first cable harness is disposed such that pivoting of the fork rotates the first cable harness housing relative to the second cable harness housing.
