Outside of NYC, NY State classifies electric bikes as "Motor-assisted Bicycle - a bicycle to which a small motor is attached. A motor-assisted bicycle doesn’t qualify for a registration as a motorcycle, moped or ATV and doesn’t have the same equipment."
Therefore, it is technically illegal to have an ebike (although they sell the commercial units at my local bike shop).
I want to mod my Royce Union bike so that I can go farther or make safe/quick trips to the store. I've been reading and researching for a few weeks and I haven't found a combination that I believe is stealth enough. Please note that I would like to go with a mid-drive unit BBSHD or BBS02 and 52V batter pack (not stealth).
-Royce Union Mtb with Shimano 21 Speed 26" Tires, I'm open to purchasing a used bike or newer bike, but need suggestions.
-Ebike Kit Rear Wheel (500-1000W)
-48-52V Battery
I'm open to all suggestions as I've been reading your posts, blogs, and suggestions already. The only reason I can't pull the trigger on what I want to buy is because I can't afford to get a ticket or any sort of violation.
Thank you.
