    Is E the answer?

    We don't know you, what you need and want. However the classic ebike story starts with test rides. You go wow. The bike takes off so easily and zips up hills. You get a bike and then it's any excuse to go for a ride, just nipping out to the shops dear.. Then it splits some people just get lazy...

    Ebike vs Road bike

    Weight isn't the issue it's wind and rolling resistance. I can at 50+years and 100+kg do around 20 on the flat. But my bike and position is streamlined. The fastest bike is a streamer at over 80 mph. The weight is a small effect as acceleration is for you and the bike. Imagine your 78 kg plus...

    Some help/pointers with my first conversion

    Mid motor is often recommended as it uses the gears to extend the power band. But usually a bit pricier. Hub motors can cause issues with spokes and unsprung weight. But cheaper. Torque sensing is what I would suggest suits you it's a power boost in relation to your effort. My old bike power...

    Gsm vs bbs01

    That's the point. If you have electric assist you don't need the granny ring the big ring can do everything.

    Full carbon E-Bike thoughts?

    Front motors and carbon forks are a risky combo. It you had your own strong forks made then ok but high speed face plants are bad news. Not worth the risk

    Gsm vs bbs01

    Roadies use 52 as standard in a compact double. 46 is a bit low for me with a 26' driven rear wheel. But I manage with that as my commuter. And that's with no motor. Its peasy with assist.

    Hauling heavy loads in steep hills.

    Your cars aren't legal, or insured. You blatantly risk other people's health, what else do you do. That's not accepting social responsibility. You said how much damage could a bike cause? Well saying death might be considered dramatic. But head injuries can happen to pedestrians. My accident...

    Recumbent, no throttle bbs01 set to 15a and fully legal. It runs at 16-20 mph on the flat. So no battery use normally,only up hill.

    Battery DIY.

    The report shows voltage drops as expected under that load. The battery warms significantly, so you get more energy loss into the battery and less delivered to the motor. Did you do that test personally, there are plenty of con men around who will sell anything as gold. But the whole thing is so...
