ron bruce said:I went on Golden Motors.ca and did the build my own kit and it came out to $1095 (USD like the other stuff on the site?) and that's without a bike but they also sell their ebikes too.
EDIT I'll have to run this build thing again as 'the best kit on GM' only comes out to $788 so I must be doing something wrong or too much... later.
I'll tell you this about the goldenmotor kits:
Rode two different ones; extremely heavy, strange brake response, and the power output for the size/weight of the motors was not impressive at all. These were with the golden motor lithium batteries.
They also had a good amount of pedaling resistance since they were both direct drive motors, and also backbreakingly heavy.
ebikekit is nice. cell_man's kit is cheap but not newbie friendly.
