Hi All
Been reading here for ages and will now take the plunge, still slightly confuse though so am looking for a little help from the pros.
Have a 90's Marin steel to convert with the following use / constraints:
- Commute (5mi each way), mostly flat, some red lights start and stop (London) - 80%
- Assist with child bike trailer, from time to time - 20%
- It needs to be UK road legal: 250w rated and no throttle, for many reasons and mainly my peace of mind (no need to debate this here). Beside, I really don't need a lot of assist, currently i'm without motor and can deal, just need a little push for wind / stop start and trailer.
- Torque sensor absolutely
I could go with a TSDZ2B or maybe the upcoming to7, but am keen to try and go for hub with a battery in the seatpost or a seatpost bag for max discretion. Beside I read that bikes like the onerideup and volt with BB torque sensor are working very well so am keen to try and do this.
motors could be a Q100/Akm100/G310/Swx02 or any other you think may be appropriate.
With that in mind, what do I need?
- Bottom bracket: eRider t17?
- Controller: KT? grintech (they are expensive and wondering if worth it for my use)?
- cycle analyst: do I need one?
Thanks a ton!
EDIT: preferably would buy parts in Europe but if need to import for North America so be it..
