I've got the ebike bug and would love to be able to convert my mountain bike where I could use for both singletrack trail riding as well as my work commute. My initial thought was to install the BBS02 and simply buy a separate wheelset for swapping between road and mtb tires.
As I got further into the purchase process, I realized I need to think about the front chainring size.
My question is simply this - do you think it will be practical to choose a front chainring that will suit both singletrack mtb AND road riding? The trails are relatively flat in my area but a lot of switchbacks so A LOT of acceleration/deceleration (and some mild climbing). My commute is very flat, on pavement and I'd like to maintain moderately high speeds (~25 mph) to minimize commute time.
Please let me know your thoughts if I can achieve the best of both worlds with one chainring or if I should be thinking about converting two different bikes?
Thanks!
