Wow thanks a lot for your reference to ES forums (I suppose you're talking about Endless-sphere). I didn't know that forum before, but I have found many threads very similar to what I want to do. I think I'll continue my project over there! :D

Your power/weight argument is most probably 100% correct, but first, this was a project I wanted to do from the ground up, design everything myself and not use a prearranged kit. Also, I don't know how good of an argument this is gonna be since I don't know all the Ebike models out there, but...

Ok I'll go try out some full suspension, front suspension and rigid fork bikes and that should help me understand what I really need. I feel like i'm currently underestimating the front suspension bikes, comfortwise.

The suspension seatpost is a good idea, but I thought that maybe the rear suspension would help reduce the stress on the electronic parts caused by all the bumps on the road/gravel roads. Also, if a full suspension affect efficiency, then why do motorbikes have them? What makes them different to...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a bike to which I could add an electric motor (like this one). The motor would ideally be mounted in the middle of the frame (in the triangle part of the frame). As you probably noticed, i'm not trying to buy an e-bike conversion kit with a hub, I want to do it all...

So what I understand from your reply is that an e-bike is a very fun device to use, but you would only use it as a mean of transportation if you know you have a safe place inside to store it (and possibly charge it) at your destination. With this said, you would still count on a car in a few...

Hello, I'm thinking about making my own electric bicycle, which would be able to go around 50+ kph. I have it almost all planned out, I want to make a homemade electric bike, not just buy a ready to install kit. Looking at the cost of such a project, its right around 1000+$... I was wondering...
