Abstract: A multi-terrain electric motor driven cycle (10) which is constructed around a monoplaner frame (12). Strategically located on the frame (12) are a front and rear damping assembly (94, 166), a rear shock absorbing assembly (180), a cycle drive assembly (240), a front and rear hydraulic brake assembly (256,274), and right and left battery housings (224,226). The two housings contain respectively a first and second battery pack (304,306) which supply power to an electric motor (200) which powers the cycle (10). The motor (200) is controlled by a motor control signal (344) derived from an electrical power control circuit (300). The circuit (300) which includes the battery packs (304,306), incorporates a built-in battery charger (312), a solenoid (326) that when energized by a manually operated power control switch (320) causes a power/speed control circuit (340) to produce the motor control signal (344).
