Hello everybody,
I'm new here, I'm from Portugal, Sintra and I have a Riverside 500 decathlon bike where I want to assemble a motor+battery kit.
The bike is of treking type, aluminum frame, 700C wheels, without suspensions, with mechanical disc brakes.
Doubts are many...
From what I've read I think I prefer a mid-engine, Bafang or Tongsheng... which one? And what battery?
I currently use it for trekking, on secondary roads, cycle paths and off-road paths that are not too irregular, flat and some hills under 25% grade.
Rides of approximately 30 to 50 kms at an approximate average of 16 kms/h
I'm 56 years old, I've always ridden a bike since I was a child, I've done a lot of mountain biking but now my back asks me for smoother terrain eheh.
I look for extra help on the pedals to make my rides without so much effort when those longer and steeper climbs appear and when I have the wind head on...
I weigh 72kgs and measure 179mts. I think I can do all the assembly of the kit myself.
Budget around 600€
