    Please recommend me parts

    Do you have a good suggestion for a legal motor that does not require maintenance? The whole reason I want direct drive is to avoid maintenance and I doubt there is a legal direct drive hub motor powerful enough to not burn from taking me uphills.

    Please recommend me parts

    Thank you all for your answers. I am going to clarify a few things you have commented on. First about the watertightness: I have no other place to store the bike than on a porch and it would be completely drenched each time it is raining and windy at the same time. And during the winter the...

    Please recommend me parts

    The bike I want to rebuild is this one: Retrò Woman Aluminium Blue I wish to fit to it a 1000W rear-wheel direct drive motor. I have been searching on Aliexpress for parts and kits but I need help as I can't find what I want. All kits I have found so far would not like rain because the...

    Motor controller

    I am located in Finland. The problem is that we do not have a proper shelter, so the bike will be out during rain and winter. During the whole fall we do have a lot of rain.

    Motor controller

    I am considering to build an ebike with a gearless direct drive hub. However all the kits I can find got an external controller that is supposed to be in a fabric bag that is then attached to the frame. I do not like this because: 1. The controller does not look like it is watertight 2. The bag...

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    I would want to go around 40 km/h (about 25 mph). With a bit of tailwind I am already able to achieve it without engine, but many times I do not have luck with the wind and if it blows hard enough to help me to these speeds I have the same wind against when going back. I know I can safely ride...

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    Today I measured the seat stays on my bike. They are between 19.2-19.4mm. Do you know where I could find some fitting mount adapters for V brakes as it is missing the studs? If they are slightly too big I can (besides clamping them as tight as possible with the screws) add a bit of epoxy.

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    I have already been owning the bike for almost a year. It got a V-brake on the front wheel and coaster brake on the back wheel. It got no studs for attaching a V brake on the back wheel. I would not want a solution where I have no brake on the back wheel as it is pretty dangerous to do a strong...

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    In my case it would be zero city biking, but about 9 km country road biking until I reach my work place. I want to keep the speed up despite the wind almost always blows strongly against me. The wind usually makes it like it would be a long uphill trip. I have seen people saying that already...

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    When searching for a way to attach v brakes I found this: https://porkchopbmx.com/evolution-v-brake-bicycle-aluminum-mounts-clamps-adapters-pair-red/ Sadly, they do not ship internationally, so those are not possible to buy for me. Does anyone know about a similar product you can buy in Europe?

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    I wonder if someone has made some studs that could be clamped to the frame without welding... and maybe reinforced by putting a tiny bit of epoxy. That would be a good solution.

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    The frame is aluminum, so it is not very easy to weld (at least not for an amateur like me) and sadly, my funds are not enough for getting a new bike without some heavy sacrifices and even if I would squeeze out some extra funds I rather put that into a higher quality motor than into a new bike.

    Mid Drives Working With Coaster Brakes

    I have a bike with Shimano Nexus 7 and coaster brake (pedal brake). I wish to convert it to electric, but with my limited knowledge it is difficult to pick a suitable mid drive. From what I have understood Bafang does not support coaster brake with any of their mid drives. I have seen some...
