My experience is with the Bafang BBSHD mid-drive system you see in my Cheviot pics, and its moderately less powerful cousin BBS02. Pedal assist and throttle, fairly straightforward to install if you're a competent wrench..if you can pull and replace cranks and bottom brackets you can do this job

Cheviot answers, which will be vague because I don't have it anymore: 1. The braking problem was because of the power of the motor, not an actual brakes problem. That ridiculous 1500W kit needs v-brakes or discs. 2. I used 650B × 41 Fatty Rumpkins. I never tried full fenders but I'm fairly con

Patrick, I agree about buying a purpose built ebike rather than a kit. I have lots of bikes, including two ebikes. I like them a lot, but I like them because they are well designed and built for specific purposes like hauling large loads etc. I have a Riese and Muller Load which is a front loading

Short answer now for Patrick, I'll work on Dave's Cheviot questions later: You're going to need a factory built ebike/moped/scooter for rain riding, I can't recommend any bolt-on kits for that. DIY mounting of motors and batteries and exposed wires is strictly dry-day territory. -- You receiv
