Hi,

I'm converting my Giant 2004 boulder to electric using the Amped Bike Kit. The frame is steel, but the fork is a suspension fork with aluminum drop outs. I will be using a Lifepo4 battery. I have two options:

1) Front hub kit and buy a steel rigid fork

2) Rear hub kit

What would be better for commuting to work on city streets/sidewalks year round?

If I have to go with a rear hub kit what is involved with installing it? I've heard you have to bend the frame. I don't want to do that.

Thanks!
