Great post and thread. I got into ebiking due to knee injury. 48 yr old 216 lb guy here. Knee is rehabbed... But im now addicted to e bikes. And yeah...MUCH cheaper to mod than the german autos i used to try and play with.

There is another perspective to this guys: You can use an e mtn bike on different terrain that is inaccessible to a pedal bike. Pedal bikes need a somewhat groomed trail or trail less groomed but w slope. I don't bomb down my local groomed ocd mtn bike trails w my stealth bomber...

Fresh battery from luna is right around 30mph.... dep on wind/slope, and my attitude..... I need a bigger battery as I eat up AH's.... in this condition :) The big surprise for me is the low end grunt i was able to retain with this 1500watt dir drive hub motor..... is has the same bottom end as...

Thx Jack - when I researched this upgrade I had some difficulty finding a complete list of P/N's ..... and there is some mis-information out there from people claiming to know what to buy..... A few things I did: *8 speed twist shifter from ebay $15 shipped. You end up shifting 2 gears to 1...
