Oh what a build. I was hoping to get a fatbike to get me through winter, but they are unavailable or outrageously expensive (because everynoe decided to do the same thing), so here I am wondering if I shouldn't take on an emtb as a winter project ... and what you've done is exactly what I had in...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder indeed. To me, it has to look as clean and as normal as possible. A few models qualify, as prebuilts. While I love how integrated everything is, they are mostly euro bikes with the power and speed limitations we're all familiar with. I don't know that they...

What's everyone's take on the ebikebc kits? Specifically, this one: https://ebikebc.com/product/d35-complete-conversion-kit-350w/ It's 1,000$CAD all said and done. Not necessarily all the oomph/speed I originally wanted, but rather discrete despite the big controller and presumably very easy to...

Indeed, from QC. Shockingly enough, I don't think it's a necessity given my route. I'm on a bike path most of the time, and the few streets I have to ride on are narrow/busy (15kph max, I'd say) and in decent shape. I do have a couple hundred feet of pavers, but I don't plan on barreling down...

Long time no update, sorry to those expecting a quick build! I got me a donor bike, a Redline Conquest Sport! Stock photo: Friend of mine wasn't using his gravel bike, and it looks like a good option so far. Not crappy, disc brakes (mechanical), nice little entry level performer but quite...

I had not heard about the Q100 / 128c motor until I got on here recently. Is there a hub motor out there that is small (~5" dia.) with integrated controller? That'd be absolutely perfect for me. RE : theft, I have other bicycles, namely some 100$ WalMart junker that I use for sketchier...

Thank you, appreciate the thought-out reply! I'm with you on most of it. The MTB would be overkill, for sure. It would be more comfortable, more solid, more fun, safer (in case I do hit a pothole or curb, or have to emergency brake), but there is something to be said for a light slippery roadie...

I'm planning on building (or buying) an e-bike to make my commute shorter (quicker) as soon as winter allows, opinions welcome! It's ~6mi of 70% bike path 30% city streets each way, mostly flat (200' elevation?) and I can charge at work if need be. On a regular bike, my avg speed is 15-16 kph...
