Hello,
I have recently bought a 2nd hand rear hub 500w MAC 10t motor in a 28" wheel, which I intend to run on 48v. I am now in the process of finding a suitable bike to install the motor on. What should I be concerned about when choosing my bike?
For instance a would flat bar bike that already has a disc brake have strong enough rear dropouts to handle this motor or do i have to choose something sturdier, closer to a mountainbike?
I am currently looking at some of the Kona commuter/crosstrail bikes (splice or dew) but I am not 100% sure if they will accomodate the motor. The required dropout space to fit the motor is (at least) 135mm.
I would really appreciate some input,
Björn
