Hi from South Africa. My wife road my e-bike the other day and of course loved it. I know have the challenge of converting her MTB to to an e-bike. Reason for conversion is her MTB is very sturdy, new and not worth selling. It will definitely handle the additional stress/ load. I have done a little research and be feel the mid drive kit will most probably be our best bet?. Rear drive is also a possibility. Would also like to keep the cost down, being from South Africa limited products are available. Am thinking a 750w motor with a 20amp battery with at least four pedal assistance settings and a throttle so she can also ride out of pedal assist mode. Looking for the best kit for the best price, the challenge will be trying to get the kit to South Africa
Live in South Africa. Looking for advise on convert a Kona Cube Duel suspension MTB to an e-bike.

I had a lot of success with the Bafang BBS02B. If you can still locate a UART version it can be tuned to make it very user friendly. 12,000mi and no issues. The hardest part may be fitting the battery on a FS MTB.
@PedalUma is having a lot of success with the new ToSeven motors. They add a layer of refinement as it uses a torque sensor which gives a more natural ride experience. The aforementioned BBS02B uses a cadence sensor to implement assistance.
Not sure if these are CANbus or UART... but you can inquire with Anna: [email protected]

Three questions.
1. Since your wife loves your ebike, what are you riding at the moment?
2. Also, many of us do not know the Kona line, How about a link to your wife's bike? Full suspension can make battery placement pretty challenging,
3. Where/how will it be used? Expected range?

ToSeven Communication protocols: UART/RS232/CANI had a lot of success with the Bafang BBS02B. If you can still locate a UART version it can be tuned to make it very user friendly. 12,000mi and no issues. The hardest part may be fitting the battery on a FS MTB.

My e-bike is a Titan racing volt E 2
Mainly riding on gravel, tar and then some off road, some very steep hills around.
40 kms max distance.
The Kona cube is more a touring bike very sturdy will try attach a pic.
Thanks
