Hello fellow ebikers. Finally scored a decent fs bike to move my 9c kit to. From my Rincon hardtail.
A 2005 I think, Trance for $220 :thumb: . Looks like enough room to install my 36 v Hailong? batt in the triangle. I looked for another hub build on a trance. No luck.
Any pointers on this frame? I am looking for comfort. I will do somewhat like my fsr. Higher bars , wide seat etc. Not everyones cup o tea but I like to sit up when I ride. 20-25 mph max. Mostly take the bikes camping at the lake.
Or? I have always wanted to build something lighter. How big a difference would a light hub and maybe a smaller battery. maybe 8-10 ah instead of 12 ah be. Handling wise. I know a lighter hub would handle / ride better with the fs.
So I could try to sell the Rincon to raise cash for a lighter setup but am I going to see much difference compared to my 9c direct drive ? Talking ride/handling .
Any thoughts?
