Hello all,
I am looking to get into ebiking as a new hobby.
I been playing around with electric skateboards but I want something that I can use to get to work and stop driving 9 miles, paying for parking and then taking 3 trains and a walk.
I been doing research and I think I have settled with a Mid Drive system because I would like to spend sometime in the woods during the weekend. There are a lot of big hills in all of the wooded areas in my area and
it looks like the mid drives are better for this. I would also like to keep the amperage around 40 amps as well. I been using Dirt bikes and quads for playing around in the the woods buts its always a process and all day thing to do so. If I could just get on it and ride to the woods and ride it back it would be great. Ebikes are very rare where I live too so its a gray area and are not restricted anywhere.
Desired max speed on level ground. mph or kph color=#FF0000](Max speed would have to be between 30mph & 40 mph)[/color]
Desired max range at what cruising speed. mph or kph 30 miles at 24mph with pedaling
Preferred bike wheel size, or wheel size of bike you want to convert. Most common kits are for 26" wheels. I haven't decided but more than likely 26inch
Brake type of motor wheel. Disc or not. Disc brakes
Rider weight. 180 LBS
Terrain. Exp: mostly flat, some short hills under 20% grade, I want to climb mountains, etc., etc. I will be riding on flats on the route to work and big hills in the woods on weekend.
I have been looking at the Lightning Rod small block.
The big block is intriguing and the price is great but I do not want to build a battery. I would rather buy a battery and I from my research it looks like 72v & 100v batteries are in the DIY domain.
Any advice would be great and thanks!
