Hello,
I'm new on here, and came to get some advice for a conversion I'm considering.
We have a gazelle cabby cargo bike that would benefit from some assistance, but I'm wondering what i should be looking for. Currently I'm thinking of a UK road legal 250w Bafang mid drive with as much battery as I can get. I've looked at a few other mid drive kits but due to the shape of the frame around the BB I think the Bafang is the only one that will fit.
I also found a dutch place that has done the conversion and it looks very neat: https://fon.bike/voorbeelden-van-omgebouwde-fietsen/gazelle-elektrisch-maken/gazelle-cabby-met-bafang-middenmotor-ombouwset/
Does anyone have experience of these kits on a bike that weighs about 40kg before anyone sits on or in it, and likely upwards of about 130-140kg typically when loaded, and will be used around a fairly hilly city? Is there anything else I should consider?
Cheers
