The shit show to get to work for me in a major U.S. city, living ass deep in the city limits:
Trying to switch to an ebike where I can, just ordered the parts. Hopefully it will make this massive ass hill a little easier.
This is mine,
I have an e-bike so it's not problem.
Looks fairly similar. That gives me hope that the conversion will do what I want.
Out of curiosity, what type of motor/battery are you using?
48V 10 Ah lithium battery with a 350W motor.
It's already have 3500Km of use and the battery is slowing down. I could used it 40 km before needing to charge, nowadays I'm worried when I had to do more than 25. But is enough for going and coming back from work, and the office bike park have energy outlets so I can take the charger to work when I'm worry about it.
I'm going with a 48V 13Ah battery and a 500W motor, and it's a mid drive. So I should definitely be in a good spot if yours is doing well for you.
And my battery is removable, so I'll be able to charge it at my desk which will be nice.
