    Decision time..

    Thanks a ton for your feed back! I figured that all of these options would be chinese made...but all chinese products are not made the same for sure.. I'm pretty sure the sur ron is the one that would get the job done best. Now I have to talk myself into buying it...?

    Decision time..

    Some of Timpos observations are spot on except I wont be taking it off jumps, pushing it hard or trying to get "rad". Purely an off road transportation use. Point A to point B and try my best to make it last awhile. The MX bike by Luna would cover all my bases except its price and it weighs 110#...

    My entire interest in an 2 wheeled electric vehicle of any sort is actually for a very specific purpose... Getting back into a remote zone near where I live for the purpose of establishing rock climbs. The area is roughly 5 miles back in and about 2000' of elevation gain. Ive heard that high end...

    Old Schwinn cruiser...want to make it electric.

    I realize that the scooter would not be an ebike, need a much more powerful motwr and battery set up and be far less practical than a gas version...but I would still love to have one! Fine with it being in a different class etc... For all I know they already exist..I know virtually nothing about...

    Old Schwinn cruiser...want to make it electric.

    Ahh..got it ? At this point I think Im starting to agree that buying an electric bike is the way smarter way to go... But since you asked, perhaps Ill post a pic of a different build that could be a great candidate for an electric front hub drive.

    Old Schwinn cruiser...want to make it electric.

    Been thinking of converting an old middleweight Schwinn...looking for advice as to which direction to explore. Hub drive? Mid drive? Rear? Dont know anything about ebikes really but I would like to use this on dirt roads and hills. Advice?
