Carbon fiber road bike suitable for conversion?

[Julie]

I have a carbon fiber road bike that I don't use any more, could it be converted to an ebike? Is carbon fiber strong enough to endure the torque? It's a low end Planet X frame.

If not, could I replace the CF fork with a metal one and install a front hub motor?

best to go for something like the XF08C when converting a CF bike.

you don't need to fit torque arms.

I did this one earlier this year. Seems great, but I did fit torque arms and was careful with fitting it.

Thanks that’s really informative, your conversion looks great, I’m doubting that I have the skill to do something like that, it seems more involved than I thought. I thought I’d just attach a wheel with a motor, mount a battery and connect the wires up.
