Converting a Bike to a Powerassisted electric bike Suggestions
Considering converting my bike to an electric power assist bike any
suggestions? websites or brands Sandra Don't do it. Standard bikes aren't meant to take the load produced by an electric motor & battery. Some of the more-dangerous ones mount everything up front, where it seriously destabilizes the handle. We've also seen units that work off the rear wheel that seem like they were intentionally designed to cause spoke failure (something they succeed at big-time). If you need electric power assist, find a dealer that sells models already equipped with it. They'll likely be much sturdier and less prone to failure. Be prepared to pay a fair amount of money for something decent, since buying something cheap is just throwing money away, from what I've seen. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
