Essentially, I want an E-Bike kit for power to get up the occasional
hill I may have to climb when riding my Tern A7 Link folding bike
around my beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I need enough power to
help me pedal my 180lbs up any incline or hill.
Most of the time I will not be using any motor assist, so I'm
concerned about using a gearless hub motor, because I understand there
is some drag in pedaling when the motor is not engaged. I also
understand a geared motor does not have this issue, so I prefer a
geared hub motor kit for my Tern bike. Having said that, I do prefer
a front hub motor kit for ease of installation.
My Tern A7 Link folding bike has 20 inch tires. I have a Shimano
MF-TZ21, 14-28T, 7 speed freewheel. The rear frame dropouts are
139.7mm wide (equal to 5.5 inches) and the front fork dropouts are
76.2mm (equal to 3 inches.
Which E- Bike kits would you suggest for my needs?
