I’ll get right on it and check them out. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has converted their beach cruiser 26” bike to an Ebike. I am considering converting my 1964 Cycle Truck to electric power and I thought I would ask other members if they knew who made the best and most trouble free hub motor at a reasonable cost. I’d like to use my...

HDratz, I'm looking to do the same thing to my 1964 Cycle Truck that I am restoring. I have been undecided about whether to use a rear hub or front hub, you know , the pros and cons of each. So, why did you decide to go front hub motor? And what brand did you purchase?
