I currently have a Bafang mid-drive with the batteries in the triangle pack. It works good. At the moment however it is very hard for me to get on and off it. I have both back and knee problems that need to get taken care of. However, I will continue to get older, my battery pack will need to be replaced someday...
I'm thinking a step through frame would take care of my current situation. I also am interested in cargo bikes. I have also seem some modifications of a regular bike frame that allow you to convert it to a front tilting trike. Maybe something like that would be right for at some point later. A lot of the current commercially made ebikes have places to mount a battery usually on back of the upright tube or sometimes a compartment. I'd like to look into what sort of batters, how much power, etc would fit into them, etc. Basically I want to have my eyes open and looking forward for this.
I know there are all sorts of commercially made bikes now with all sorts of frames. I'm not really aware of any sources for just frames, preferably at a reasonable cost. I figured this would be a good place to inquire.
Anyone have any suggestions?
