New guy here, Dennis, from South Padre Island, Texas.
And yes, I give sandcastle lessons on the beach.
I encounter a few problems with my journey to the beach with my setup and I think I could use some ebike help, initially with a front wheel hub drive. Needless to say I have many questions!
So I want to diy this myself and I see kits on eBay and Amazon but what exactly do I want? Certainly inexpensive for starters. But hit has to survive the salt and sand environment too.
I usually take the pavement to class but ride the beach back, and our constant breeze it tough to deal with when I have to go against it. Plus I have to get thru the deep soft and hot sand between the parking lot and the hard pack sand. It would be nice to have a bit of ebike assistance here too.
I’m thinking a thumb throttle on the left side would be good as I drag the whole bike and cart using mostly my right hand to drag it all.
First technical question. 36v or 48v?
What I’m thinking for batteries is using power tool packs, so I can also use it for my tools. It would make charging easy too.
Comments, suggestions, thoughts? Thanks.
