Hi everyone,
My wife would like to be able to take out our two little ones - a 3yo and a 1yo - on bike rides in a kids trailer. We live on the top of a pretty steep hill and there’s plenty more around.
She has a nice enough hardtail MTB with 1x9 Deore groupset -with a Holllotech II bottom bracket - with some shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
She likes her bike and would prefer to convert it rather than getting a new ebike plus with the two kids we could do with keeping this on a budget.
She is pretty lightweight - about 60ish kg - and never been much of a fan of climbs even without towing two kids.
What I’m looking for is ideally
- rear hub motor - for disc brake and with a freehub body to accommodate a 9sp cassette and
- battery to give her a range around 20-30 miles
- PAS
I saw that one of the guys here did a neat trick with a PAS disc with the magnets where he bolted it onto the Hollotech crank instead of the small chainring. My wife also has a triple crankset that I could do this, I think..
I also saw someone posting brake sensors that are for hydraulic brakes.
I don’t know a lot about motors but I was thinking about going 250w to stay road legal. I know little about batteries but I was thinking along the lines of 11-13is amp and I know and understand absolutely nothing about controllers and LCDs..
