I’ve lurked for a while, finally signed up to get some advice. I do regular cycling, but recently moved to a very hilly area and have not gotten on my bike. I’m thinking E-Bike is my answer. After reading lots online and visiting two LBS’s I think I can get a better ride converting my old Trek Hybrid 7500FX. I believe I want a mid-drive motor, right now, I’m considering the Bafang 750W motor (for the hills) and the 48V Samsung Frame Mounted Battery. I like the frame attachment of this battery, can I do better than this one. Some reading has made me doubt my choice.
BTW I’m 130 lbs, some things I’ve read say the 750W is overkill, it probably is most times, but when I hit the hills, I think I need the 750W motor, am I looking at this correctly?
The description says it has both the throttle and PAS option, from a stand still does this mean I must use the throttle to start? Also, if I equip this bike with this motor will there be drag if I want to pedal with no e-power? Hard to buy this without a test drive to know these answers.
I am open to consider another brand of motor if I find I can do better for my needs.
Thanks mmarlin
