Hi,
I am considering a conversion to ebiking. I have done some reading and asked a few folk, for advice. Torn between crank and 350-500w hub,probably bafang 500w cst 36v
I am looking to go up to 20mph, weigh about 19st, using an old marin palisades trail (chrome alloy/steel frame), I would like it to do about 15-20miles, and i hope to do pedaling but have a few hills in the way,
What options are there for batteries, do they just go into a pannier if they are too big for an alloy case, are there any frame bags or any more discreet way of mounting them?
Happy to go up to 48v if worth it
Any idea when the 750w 8fun crank is coming out, would it be worth waiting for?
Quite keen for it to be as discreet as possible, I have seen the magic pie 3, it looks a little too large for me physically and probably too powerful?
thank you in advance
