Touring bike conversion

[lookpo]

I have a 28"wheel, v-brake touring bike. I want to covert it to ebike, to help me with my 20 mile daily commute. After some research I've found "bafang 36V250W FRONT DRIVING SWXU MOTOR E-BIKE KIT" and "36V 10Ah Lithium Ion Electric Bicycle Battery Pack". My understanding is that is's all what I need. Can I have your opinion about above components? Is the battery size ok to cover 20mile ride ?

Hi, i have that motor but with the 9ah 'water bottle' type battery which is good for about 14 miles.

Thats a similar 'kit' I put on my Peugeot touring bike except I mad up my own battery using Lipo's....if the batteries are good quality ones then yes you should be able to easily get 20miles out of a 36v@10Ah battery.

We have tested the 36v 10Ah battery on the hills around us and we get around 25-30 miles on medium power pedal assist. hope that helps.
