    Building a ebike for a small person with a budget of <$700

    I have a lot of reasons for wanting an ebike. Mostly medical, can't actually use a normal bike to be honest. Trust me, I would have waited till I had more money if I had that choice. I am switching to converting a bike instead of outright buying one since I do realize that is the best option...

    I added(editied) picture and what I know of the bikes to the top post. Also I know they don't do kit builds, but I DO need to them check integrity of the bikes, they have been rotting in a garage for over 10 years. They do free estimates. Plus I have to stop by to get gear anyways so.

    Building a ebike for a small person with a budget of <$700

    I do have two worn bikes, I was actually just planning to pull them out of the garage this morning! One of them is close to 40 years old, so I need to really test the frame and probably have a bike shop mechanic look at it if that's the one I have to use. The other one is maybe 5 years old? But...

I've made no commits yet, I do have money in savings, but I will not touch a cent of it because I need it for next year when I get an apartment. I'm watching videos...

    Building a ebike for a small person with a budget of <$700

    Lot to unpack, okay so, first thing, you did kind of remind me that I could possibly turn a regular mountain bike into an electric bike with a little bit of elbow grease and a helpful bike stop employee if they'd be chill with it. It would be better then getting an entire bike for now, since I...

    I've actually looked at the Propella Mini! Unfortunately I only have 600 in my bank right now, since my sister stole $700 from me and hasn't returned it yet, she spent it all.. (She linked my card to her account, and bought a laptop and concert tickets with my card, she's the reason I'm moving...

    EDITTED: Was "Choosing a bike." Edit to make it clearer. The bike needs to be under 500w, must have pedals, max speed of 20mph, to comply with state/federal laws. (So class 1 or 2) If anyone knows Wisconsin electric bike laws PLEASE share! Suggestions for racks/baskets/bags/cargo trailers are...
