I do intend to keep it road legal and limited to 15.5mph the reason I want awd is due to me being heavy. I experience about a 7 mph drop in the ebike I'm currently using to get to and from work when going uphill which means I'm spending more time travelling which considering how rainy my region can get isn't ideal so I want to build something I can truly get the full use out of and awd seems the best route and least complicated the more I look into it.

So I checked with my work and they don't allow people to put money in on top of the 800 quid and the 10% discount. So I'm leaning towards conversion now. While thinking about it and speaking to a friend he mentioned about using 2 hub motors 1 in the front and 1 in the back as I'm a little heavier then most (I weigh about 105-115kg so I'm just over some of the motor weight limits and just under some of the purpose built ebikes. I was wondering how difficult it would be to setup 2 hub motors off 1 throttle? And if it would at all reduce the burden on the motors (meaning I could get ones with a weight limit of 100kg and the fact there was 2 would spread the weight out reducing the burden on them)

The donor bike is undecided as I'm unsure what would be the best to get.

So the scheme that my work put into place works in that I reserve the bike, my workplace then pays for it then, which is then taken from my wages over the course of either 6 months or 12 months. I was considering the crank but I'm not sure of the difference between the feel of a mid motor or a motor in the rear wheel. The journey to and from my work is about 6 miles one way with hills in both directions mostly tarmacced with some cobble and some pavement (for an A road leading to an off ramp for the motor way which I try to avoid). So and considering what I've just mentioned and that it's a permanent job the rear motor is probably a better way to go. I'm unsure of the differences between the two sensors. I know I'll need between a 19" and a 20" frame, is there anything else that may be helpful info? (My apologies if I do t respond for awhile I've got to head to bed now as I'm in work tonight)

Hello there, My name is Ara and I want to convert a bike. Unfortunately I have no idea, what I'm doing. So i was hoping for a bit of help. The situation is that I'm currently using a Wisper Electric bike of my brother's to go to and from work but I want to get my own, unfortunately I'm short on funds so I intended to get one through the Cycle to Work Scheme in my work place but the catch(es) is that a) It must be from Halfords for my work to help and the other catch (the real pain in the saddle) b) It must be £800 or less, which kind of ties my hands behind my back in terms of what i can and cannot get from Halfords, so I had the great and wise idea to use a conversion kit to turn a Regular mountain or Road Bike into an Electric Bike. However as I stated above, I have no idea what I'm doing. So I was hoping if someone who knew better (such as you fine gentlemen and women) would be so kind as to give me some idea of what might be the best bike to get and the most compatible conversion kit as £800 will go much, much further when applying it to a regular bike then a when looking for a electric bike. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Arashi
