I'm looking for an ebike that could serve as the only means of transportation for a cross-country trip. Something that could get me over most terrain. The best bang-for-the-buck option. I've been considering a Sondors Fat because it's cheap and thus is a good platform for mods, but I do have some questions.
1. Should I definitely go gearless? The risk of getting stranded due to mechanical issues is obviously greater with a geared bike, plus, I'd have the motor to help me up hills.
2. Is it possible to cut off the pedal-assist on the Sondors to save on battery? I know stock it is set to always-on, but surely this can be changed?
3. Can the pedal-assist on the Sondors be changed from cadence to torque?
4. Should I be looking at a different ebike altogether?
