I want to convert my commuter to and ebike. I live in Belgium so it doesn't get any flatter, so no gears should be needed, I commute 40k per day and it's dangerous to go faster than 40 km/hr in the bike paths.
The bike I want to convert is a Ghost Square Urban with Gates belt, this one https://www.ghost-bikes.com/en/bikes/lanes-road/bike/square-urban-58-al-w/
- What would type of engine would you recommend? Rear hub or middle motor? (fork is to flimsy for front hub), 500W should be enough?
- Trustworthy store to buy motor/battery kit ? Would this kit work? https://em3ev.com/shop/bafang-36v-250-500w-bbs02-kit/
- Ideal battery to use?
- How could I avoid using a throttle and just use a torque sensor to control speed/power?
I just want to buy a kit that will later will fit my bike.
Thanks for your help and sorry for asking such a basic question.
