Greetings folks, I am forced to remove myself from my motorcycle for 6 months and rather than accept the wretchedness of Public Transport I have decided to get an ebike. My physio has been buzzing around on great looking two wheeled devil steed for a while now, 1000W+ motor with fat tyres and I am keen on finding something similar.
I am to use the bike for commuting, a fairly flat 6km stretch then hilly through the city. Pedal Assist in the City but before which using solely the motor. I am around 10 stone and 5ft 10.
The fat tyre options with motor included seem few and far between and so I am wondering if I might be able to purchase the ebike conversion package and apply it to something like this>

Could I combine with that bike something monstrous like this>

Or something similar!
Is there a major difference with front wheel drive motors? I am aiming to spend under $2000AU all up. So bike and conversion kit.
I guess I am eager for a powerful fat bike and wonder how and if I can achieve this with my budget!
Any advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
TGP
