Would this convert to electric?

[Chris Maluszynski]

Looking around for different folders, mainly Dahons / Terns to convert to electric.
Came across this one: http://www.ternbicycles.com/sg/bikes/eclipse-p9
It has disc brakes on both wheels. Would it be possible to put a motor in that rear wheel? Or would the disc brake be a problem?

Very nice donor bike but it's not easy to find spokes for 24" wheels. For rear hub motor, you'd need 300 RPM rear motor with cassette adapter.

Possibly ok for either front Or rear but I would check the fork width and rear dropout width first

Ah, didn't realize it has 24" wheels… hm

Hi Chris,

Are you still looking into converting this bike? We have 36V front wheel kits arriving with 24" wheels in a few weeks, the same type as this but with 36V (and an optional LCD display upgrade)
