Hey All,
I am looking to join the eBike world by building my own so I have been doing some research. I have narrowed my kit down to the motor selection, and I wanted some insight or opinions.
The things I really wanted:
- Light
- Well Built
- Easy to Install
- Low Maintenance
- Regenerative Braking
- Serves my use case well
It's the last thing that I find so subjective.
Here's what I have for my use case:
40-60 km range
up to 5km of 5-7% hills (Vancouver. BC)
Up to 32 km/h but not more
90% of the time spent on pavement
So far I have decided on a 36V 17Ah battery with a Baserunner. I am caught between the Grin All Axle and the GMAC. Would the All Axle be good enough for what I want to do? Is the GMAC just the obvious choice for me?
I have attached screenshots of the two setups. Note I added the Phaserunner instead of the Baserunner because the battery I want isn't in stock so I offset the price.
I also wanted any opinions if it's possible to have a Hybrid as an ebike or if I should stick with converting the MTB. Also attached pics.
Thanks for reading.
