Will keep that in mind, thank you. I don't know that I have the budget to afford a custom battery build right now though.

Exactly right. I share a living space with other people and it was really painful negotiating space for the first bike. A second one just sounds like a really good way to piss everyone off. I gotta weigh the benefits here man... and having electric assist just isn't worth the added stress...

You might not be joking, but that is not going to happen. Either I make this work with the bike I have or I just don't get an ebike, those are my two choices... If I have to get a rack battery and abandon the rear hub entirely for a BBSHD to keep the weight balanced, that's what I will do, but...

I have a Small (15.5") Trek Marlin 6 I want to convert, I'm trying to find a battery that will fit. My 3 top choices were: 1) Hard Triangle battery from EM3ev 2) EM3ev Supershark 3) Luna Wolf Pack But I'm not confident any of them will fit into my frame... - EM3ev Triangle Pack: Might fit...

Nah sadly I'm just a short guy. Were you expecting the inseam to be more or less? Because bike sizing charts are absolutely baffling to me; Example: 29.5" inseam at 5 feet tall? Am I just all torso or what? Just as an additional addendum to my original post: I noticed Lunacycle currently has a...

Desired Max Speed: 20 MPH (32kph) throttle only Desired Range @ 15-20MPH: 20m (32km) at least, the more the better Terrain: Mostly new good quality roads, some pothole ridden old roads and rough dirt/grass (some of the areas near me are undeveloped). Mostly flat, max hill grade ~9%, average of...
