hello forum reader
ten years ago i converted a kettler aluminium frame with a 250w kit and was one of the first to climb the hills of vienna without (necessarily) pedaling, all the while pulling a trailer with a 50kg dog. needless to say, many interesting meetings were caused by my vehicle.
the only upgrade ever was changing the lead battery to a lithium one and the bike served me well over all those years.
unfortunately i had to leave it behind when moving countries and now i want to put another one together.
with the 250w i always wished for a little more power uphill and now i am in hillier terrain, so i would really like more pep.
the problem is, that the local law and order people are now savvy to pedelecs over the legal wattage.
i just read about the possibility of hot-rodding 250w hub motors, but do not quite know how to go about it - electricity being more or less a book with seven seals for me. is there maybe a wizard out there who can help me out.
i liked the engine in the front wheel because of weight distribution and the "awd"-feel when using the engine and pedaling.
hoping for some insight
swift and safe riding, everybody
