    The bike weighs 15kg at moment, so I guess I got around 8kg to play with, I'm guessing that the batteries are the heaviest then the motor? But as long as I stay around that mark I should be golden. I understand that guys here are road enthusiasts, is there a forum that's suited better to my...

    Ok so been doing some research on hub drive motors and mid drive motors and I've come to the conclusion that mid drive is going to be the way I need to go regardless of the fact that I probably won't convert it back to a normal bike after its built. One thing I want to ask is that do mid mount...

    So would it be better for a geared hub, is the other type a direct drive? What's the advantages and disadvantages of each if that's a thing?

    Its part public and part private as it passes through farm land (we already have permission to venture on this land as my friend owns part of it). The parts that are public we obviously are very courteous to the people using it ( usually other bikers).

    I would like to have a bit more top speed than 15 mph as I can pedal faster than that already, the battery I don't have a issue if I can't fit within the triangle I could put on main cross bar or if it really came to it I'd get a rear mount over the back wheel. There are multiple places I could...

    I don't want a motorcycle looking bike, I need a hub motor as I 2ant to be able to put the bike back to stock with ease just leaving wires in place and just removing the rear wheel, controller and battery. The hub motor needs to be powerful enough to power me up some pretty steep hills...

    Hi, I'm very new to this scene and I'm not sure if what I'm looking for in a ebike is within line with most of you here. I currently have no ebike but I'm interested in making my own conversion to a ebike. I have a voodoo canzo MTB (not a great or expensive bike I know) this is what I want to...
