I'm new to electric bikes, so I only have my new ep-2 pro to compare to. Wasn't sure if I would enjoy ebikes, but now I know, and I'm hooked. I thought my biking days were over when we moved to the mountains 7 years ago. I tried , but just couldn't ride the long hills anymore. I all but gave...

Thanks for the info everybody.

I have no idea. I'm here to learn.

Thank you kindly, and thanks for the hands on experience info. I must be doing the right comparisons, because I came up with what you did. Ya I'm just going to wait and see about the cyc, and continue to gather Info and eventually build this Winter. Thanks again.

As I stated it's a Shimano nexes 7 speed IGH. not sure of chain size, haven't measured it yet. Thanks for the response.

I would like to convert my 2010 Jamis 2 commuter to electric. The bike is aluminum and weighs approx 28 lbs. It has a shimano nexes 7 Internal gear hub. The brakes are linear type and stop better than any bike I've ever ridden. My AO is East Tennessee. Very hilly with few flat areas. My...

Welcome from E.TN. Enjoy the ride. Let's see some pictures.

Amazon has these and others.

Looks like fun, but way over my comfort level. Cool pictures.

I rode my 2010 jamis commuter 2 around my neighborhood ( think hills), and although I love my jamis, and have ridden it thousands of miles, and it's a perfect fit, it just isn't right for the hilly area I live in. It worked great everywhere else I've been, but these long hills are killing me...

That's a nice build. Bet it's fun. Welcome from E.TN.

Not really needed for wx today, but I wear them anyway.

Mechanic's gloves. I always have a pair or 2 lying around. I'm using a pair of the original red ones that might get noticed. I also have a pair of armored ones. There really nice. So far this Fall there keeping me warm.

I've decided to keep my batteries inside out of the cold and heat. When it comes time to charge them, they will be inside the ammo can. (2) 13ah batteries will fit for storage purposes.

I'd like to keep the charging station in the garage for safety, but it can get down to -10°F, and near 100°F in the summer. I feel this isn't going to be good for the batteries. I Have a large ammo can, and I pulled the gasket off. I'm testing inside temperatures presently with a...

Newb ebike dude here. I have a couple of 13ah lithium batteries to maintain on my new bike. My garage is very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Not the best place to charge or stow batteries. Which leaves me to my radio room where all my electronics and radio (ham) stuff is. I have...

Thanks for the pictures.

Excellent write up OP. Just starting out on my ebike journey, and learning a lot.
