I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but now I'm about to start a project to electrify my trusty old downhill mountain bike. This is my first conversion and I don't know too much so I would appreciate all the help I can get. What I've gathered so far is that I would probably be better off with a hub motor as I don't want to start cutting off chain guide isgc tabs. The rear has 135mm spacing so I assume I can install Mxus motor with 26" dh rim or even motorcycle rim. The frame triangle is kind of tight so fitting in a controller and battery will not be easy. I was hoping I could get some saddle bag type storage or fabricate a small enclosure with very small battery. My main use for the bike would be riding up local trails so that I can coast down. I was thinking I would like to have just throttle and no pedal assist sensors or brake sensors.
What do you guys think? Do my thoughts make any sense?
