Hi and welcome to you all.
I would like any advice you feel could be of use to me with help in picking suitable kit for me to convert my Cube Ltd Sl 29er to an ebike.
A bit about me:
I'm 6ft and weigh 190lbs, I'm fairly fit in regards to cycling so I am happy to pedal to improve speed/ range and will be mainly riding p.a.s as opposed to throttle ( will use throttle for short bursts if needed though).
The Bike:
The bike is a Cube Ltd sl 29er, it has full shimano XT kit and a Fox fork so all in all a pretty decent spec bike ( hopefully ideal to convert, can anyone see any issues?)
What I'd Like from the kit:
Was looking for a rear wheel hub motor and a battery that fixes to the bottle bosses, does this limit the amount of AH's I will get due to the limited size I could fit there?
Would a frame bag battery be better?
Ideally 48v or 52v battery.
17ah or bigger for at least 25 miles ( ideally 35 miles range would be welcomed).
Speed between 25 - 30 mph and I will pedal ( I will be changing the Xt cranks for a 50tooth road bike version to give me more top speed if possible).
I've seen a kit from a guy who does YouTube videos called the kirbebike kit, it comes with 1500w-2000w motor , controller and all accessories plus a 52v 17ah batter ( LG cells).
I'd upgrade the rim for an extra ,£30 to an Mtx 39 rim.
All in about £820, is this a good kit for the money?
My budget is between ££750 and £900
All advice welcomed.
Thanks.
