    Is this bicycle, a Scott Sub 20 hybrid, a good candidate for conversion to E-bike?

    The display in your photos does not appear to be the XH-18 which has a twist mechanism. That is why I was concerned about mounting position. What model is the display in your photos...

    Thanks PedalUma, I appreciate you taking the time to help me figure this out. I'll go with the standard 42T and consider an upgrade in the future. So you are suggesting a 36V 350W unit will be fine for my intended use and be the most efficient. I'm kind of confused as the Elecycle site only...

    So I'm leaning toward the TSDZ2 w/ XH18 small display as suggested by PedalUma. Thing is, it looks like it comes in 36, 48 and 52V and in 250, 500, 750W versions? The website states 250-750w but there is no way to select which wattage unit I may want. So I'm confused about that. How do I...

    Gionnirocket, thanks for your help with this. I'm really looking forward to this conversion. I like the fact that the conversion can be done without changing the "look and feel" of the bike very much. Is there a reason you chose the Bafang over the Tongsheng mid drive? Is there a recommended...

    Thanks, I like the idea of keeping the built as simple and clean as possible. I'm fine with no throttle. Love the water bottle batteries. Can I get 30-40 miles out of those if I put decent effort into pedaling?

    Upgrading the brake pads and keeping the rims clean sounds like a good idea, will keep that in mind. I appreciate the tip.

    Thanks EMGX, now you are really getting me excited about this conversion. I'm going to do more research and am looking at this as maybe being a bit of a winter project as the cycling season in my neck of the woods will end in a month or two. I will surely post once I make some progress.

    Thanks PedalUma I will check out your website and the TS at 350W. I agree, I want to keep things light and simple. I don't want to change the characteristics of this bicycle any more than necessary. Just need some assist to make my rides longer and more enjoyable. I may end up getting...

    Is this bicycle, a Scott Sub 20 hybrid, a good candidate for conversion to E-bike?

    That is what I am thinking, maybe a 500W motor would be more than enough for my intended use. If it saves a few lbs and a few dollars that's not a bad thing. I understand, I would probably not use max power very often, if at all. My understanding is that a torque sensor is superior and makes...

    Is this bicycle, a Scott Sub 20 hybrid, a good candidate for conversion to E-bike?

    Thanks, I like the idea of keeping the weight down. Should make the bike easier to haul. I saw a video that said many E-bike accidents are similar to motorcycle accidents. So I want my E-Bike to continue to be more like a regular bike as far as speed is concerned. I don't see a reason for a...
