when i upgrade i intend to upgrade controller battery and motor, i'm not planning to overvolt, but like is said (somewhere, should be in this thread) i'm just gonna throw a more powerful cheap ebike kit at it, just like the people who made it. and nah, 30 is about where i'd be max, i'd just be...

just noticed this, can't you just calc the same way that the industry does for electric cars? for example you didn't even include weight. just look at how electric cars calculate their mileage, adjust for motor efficiency, you should be in the ballpark. the problem isn't that the companies...

you can upgrade suspension on (almost) any bike frame, all you have to do is measure and maybe get a little creative with mounting hardware. most frames with suspension are pretty easy to deal with and while people might look at you funny (including in this forum based on how i was received in...

i've had it apart, gonna have to share some pictures soon, but my bike literally has a cheap chinese bike kit on it with sticky business cards stuck on top of the parts. at least when it comes to the electronics. they are not only easily recognizable, but also easily dismissable. the worst issue...

i am intending to for the best description "gut" the frame of the cheap ebike i got, i have welding experience and the frame is rock solid and specifically built for having a controller and battery INSIDE it, along with a folding mechanic. i linked images and resources to find out about it, but...

i am new here so i figure that i will make an attempt to introduce myself. my name is brian and i'm an al.... err, wrong place...... i have been researching ebikes in a hands off way since about a year ago, just to figure out where i wanted to start. i originally intended to just convert my old...
