I have a 29er frameset from Singular Cycles. 29+ wheel size is 29 x 3" wide tyres.
At my age (65) I need assistance to ride the 22 miles to the coast and 22 miles back. No big hills, fairly level going with some short steep bits. The Rooster builds up as a very good bikepacking bike, and includes ability to carry bottles or gear on the forks. I have the rims 29 x 3" 32 hole all ready to build up.
So, I am thinking of a front wheel motor and two bottle shape batteries carried, one on each fork. The fork bottle carriers are known as "Anything Cages" because they can be adjusted to carry anything.
About half the journey is off road half on the road. Do not need high speed or anything, just steady cycling speed to get there and back. I am still reasonably ok with 15 mile rides but not 45. Thinking riding in Eco mode both ways should be possible.
So, what kind of level of battery capacity do I need? What do forumites reckon the best current system would be to achieve my goal.
Thanks, Brian
