Sounds like fun, I'm looking forward to seeing it. My little ebike in the garage isn't seeing much use right now.I'll go for a triple post. I've been researching e-bikes all week, and decided to build one. I am ordering a 1500 watt rear hub motor today for a donor 26" WalMart aluminum mountain bike I am making into a cruiser. Front suspension only. It'll be for paved trails, or maybe a gravel road. Still deciding on a battery....So many battery choices, from $100 direct from China to $500 for a name brand, buy here battery. I'll probably go middle of the road...Chinese with a warranty bought here in the states, for around $200. Should be able to build it for around $500 with the free donor bike. From everything I have read they are scary fast, over 30 mph. My stimulus money fun project!
