I decided to build an easier kit before jumping head first into my Davinci Drive/Astro motor, dual suspension build. I have no e bike experience as yet but I have built quite a few electric long boards & an e-mountain board, successfully. I figure I can learn from this and be more prepared when I build the other. I have been riding bikes for many years & have a massed quite a few bikes & parts, a horde, really...I'm sure most of you understand.
For this build I'm using an old school Evil bikes, Imperial frame which was billed as a "Freeride Hardtail" back in the day when it came out. Its a very well built frame but was always a bit heavy to pedal any kind of distance. I'm hoping the Bafang set up lends itself well to this frame as it would be nice to use this one again. I think the the electric bike thing is a great way to breath new life into old bikes.
So this is what I got done so far:View attachment 6
-So all that's left is lacing up some wheels adding a derailleur & the brakes which have to be cable type due to the supplied levers.
Any advice or questions?
