I think I am sold on the1000 w mid engine. I built a custom frame around the NuVinci hub when they first came out many years ago. A perfect drive hub for the mid engine. I'd like to see a picture of your bike. Thank you for your comment.
I have been looking at the Bafang, and the only problem I see is with the bottom bracket. I really appreciate your comments, and will look at the link provided. I assume you like the mid drive option. I think that seems like the best idea. There is some new old stock available in Canada of the...
I have watched many many videos. I think I have a plan, but wanted to hear ideas.
I am old enough to know I don't know everything.
Thanks for your comments.
There will be no wheelies on my bike! Lol!
You make me laugh with the image, or idea, of a wheelie on that bike.
What about in the wet? Do you find good traction with the front wheel drive?
How long have you had your unit? Reliability? Range? I would love to hear anything you want to share.
I had considered the front hub, but I am concerned that there is not enough weight on it. I am concerned about the handling characteristics and traction with so little weight on the front. I do appreciate your comment. Do you have any first-hand experience with front wheel drive?
No doubt! This is the big concern for me right now. I plan on getting front brakes with the electric build. I wonder if the electric motor has a regenerative braking and will slow down the bike on the de-acceleration. I have no idea. Do you?
There is no way to put a derailer on this frame. I would be limited to a single speed transmission. I don't think that'll work with hills. Is there an option I'm not considering. An electric wheel with a transmission inside?
Hey Matt. Thanks for your comment. I am west in southern Ontario near London. I'm about 10 minutes to the lake (Erie).
I was hoping to start a discussion with somebody about their experiences with EBikes. I really want to go with a mid drive and keep the internal gear hub, or maybe even put in...
Thank you for your comment.
I feel like throwing away the seven speed is a waste.
Although I do admit the breaking will be terrible, with the coaster brake, if I consider a mid drive.
I would love to hear your opinion on mid drives.
I was thinking at least 1000 W and I want a huge 52 v...
I have the exact same parts used on my custom frame. It almost gives the bike a steam punk feel. You can see the mechanical parts moving and the drum brakes are unique. I found your group while searching for information on these parts.
I want to convert this custom frame I built to electric. How would you do it? Looking for ideas.
It has a seven speed internal gear hub with a coaster brake.
Should I just build a new custom frame?
Hello
I am a new member in Ontario and have built a few custom bikes over the years.
