The more that I think about it, I am gonna hold off on the brake upgrade until I get a better bike. The day that the conversion kit came in the mail, I bought the first steel framed, non suspension, used bike that I could get my hands on for under $50. Once I ride it for a while, I can...

I put the kit on well enough to take it for a test ride, and I am really impressed with the power of this bike. It is a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to try it on the trail that I am ultimately gonna ride it on though. But, I have ridden it on a similar sized hill, and it went up the...

I’ll be using the Dewalt flex volt 6ah batteries in 20 volt mode. In 20 volt mode, they have 3 sets of cells paralleled internally. I would think that these batteries could output 22+ amps without even breaking a sweat. That is unless they have an internal breaker or electronic current...

Long story short, I need a bike that can climb a very specific hill near my house, to enable me to get to my garden. I dont care about range or speed. I want use the Dewalt 20v batteries that I already own. I have a ton of them. 2 of the 20v (18v under load) batteries in series limits me to...

I didn't see the 2wd wiring post. But, if you could send me a link, it would save me the headache of trying to figure it out myself. The other option would be 1 throttle. But, also have a button to push when I need a 2wd boost, like on the straight sections. I haven't actually bought a...

Would you say that 2wd is actually dangerous, or does it just take some getting used to? I did see those harnesses. But, I am not sure if I would use a harness, just splice the wires, or maybe enen control the front and rear with 2 separate throttles.

I got the cheaper option. Led I think. The display wasn’t important to me. What was the reason that you went with a 2wd?

I purchased this kit for the rear wheel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MG7LK9F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If I go the 2 motor method, I would do a 2nd throttle for the front wheel that I only activate on the straight sections. Going the Dewalt route won’t cost me...

Thanks for the info. I will review the spoke calculator, when I make my final decision on what I am going to order. Let me clarify how I want to use the Dewalt batteries. I do not want to hack the battery cases apart and rewire the cells. I want to use battery docks like this one...

Assuming that I buy a hub that does not include a wheel, how do I know what spokes to buy?

I'd rather build than buy for a few reasons. Although this bike has a dedicated purpose now, I want the option to upgrade individual parts in the future if my needs change. Also, if any 1 part breaks, I want to be able to replace it with off the shelf parts. Also, I'd assume that the battery...

Considering this bike will be used mostly off-road, should I be looking at a front wheel or rear wheel hub?

Thanks for the info. I did not even know that there were 2 different types of hubs. I assume that a geared hub would be what I'm looking for? I will have to come up with some way to measure the grade. The least thing that I want to do is drop a bunch of money on this project, and it not...

I am new to electric bikes. I am looking to build an electric bike for a dedicated purpose, on a budget. Basically, I would like to use the bike to access my garden down a trail, which is about 1/4 mile long. Most of the trail is level. But, there is one hill that is about 100 foot long...
