Friends and fellow enthusiasts: I'd like a quick poll to help me decide.
I have a perfectly functioning front wheel drive 60-volt 20" bmx/urban ebike conversion, (featured here in the general discussion thread and also in the e-bike testing and review thread) which I am in the midst of converting to rear wheel drive. This requires a new frame, new fork, and the exchange of one side cover on the Ampedbikes/9C direct drive motor. I am also going to a new Lyen 72 volt controller, front disc brake and front suspension fork, etc. The new frame and fork are ready, and I am standing hesitantly at the point of no return.
Point is, I am really bugged about tearing apart something I put together that functions so well. I could afford to sell this bike w/o the battery pack for not much more than the cost of a new rear drive motor kit, (less than $500) and somebody else could be riding high on the electric bike groundswell of pleasure. IF anyone would be interested in buying???
On the other hand, I could simply proceed by removing the motor from the old frame, exchange the side cover and convert to rear wheel drive, then finish the new frame into a complete 72 volt urban bike. This would be quicker, but I'd be stuck with 90% of the old bike and no use for it.
What should I do? Anyone out there interested? I'd like to hear your opinion.
