Neat! I'm definitely gonna avoid a pre-built bike tho - unless it involves trading my current bike in. I 100% don't need 2 bikes! I'll probably go for a geared rear hub so the weight is all the in the battery and I can pedal normally if necessary. I'm totally stoked to look at a billion...

Ahh well, it is Ebay after all. You're only as safe as you make yourself. That's always good to hear! Even after everything UPP is still the cheapest option. If I do get a fire proof charging setup then the added range might even be worth the chance of it catching on fire!

Oh? Maybe the horror stories I've heard were a bit exaggerated...

For certain things I can totally agree with that sentiment! However, a lot of the parts I've looked at have also met that "from China" tick box. Combing things from China and on ebay... not a great idea for safely purchasing anything... at least as far as I can tell!

Well, right now I'm still exploring my options and learning about ebikes in general. That's just my usual paranoia! q: That is very true! I'll probably not be ordering any sketchy things off of ebay... even if its cheaper... With the actual budget requirements, I definitely won't be getting...

Its certainly looking that way! Not a bad way to go... Neat! Too bad sales always make me more indecisive lol It's like; why is it on sale? Is there something wrong with it? Was I being overcharged before? Who knows...

Okay... I think I understand... a good battery is important? Yeah... I can totally agree with that! Yeah! That sums up my options pretty well. Getting some kind of fire-proof toolbox etc. to store the battery in when charging is probably my best bet all around. I can't be watching it the whole...

I'm not mechanically illiterate - I'm reasonably confident I could do any of the assembly required eventually. The thing I'm not cut out for is the terrifyingly high budget requirements. I have a bike already so... buying another one doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. A part of the reason I...

That is unfortunate!

I see... I think there's a multimeter or something like that sitting around here somewhere... However, truing the wheel is like...? If I have to do that shouldn't I save 100$ and just spoke a motor onto my current wheel lol

The price for those isn't even listed on their website lol! That's awesome tho! Getting out and doing things isn't easy but its always nice to get some second hand encouragement! I hope you guys have fun! That seems a little silly? Like, I have to buy a pre-built wheel and then do half the...

How could tell it was a 350w motor? Something about how fast the motor can spin, maybe? And yeah... a weaker kit would mean I could go further on a weaker battery. It would be kind of proportional? However, 10-15mph in inclement weather is probably faster than I should be safely going on a...

Nani!?

I'd prefer to order everything online!

That... is a valid point! Sketchy sellers are sketchy! I'm definitely not at the point where I should be doing anything like that! (Safely, that is...) Thanks tho! That is very kind of you to say and I totally get where you are coming from! Right now I'm not really friends with anyone that...
