Electrifying an M3i

[anandman]

I have an old Mixte with 3-speed internal hub that I’d love to electrify. The Copenhagen wheel that Public offers is quite expensive and I figure I can do something much cheaper and better but I’d love something that looks nice. Any suggestions?

Assuming it has 700c wheels this option is less expensive: https://m-us.gearbest.com/bike-acce...MIn7XWm-DQ3gIVkvhkCh3uvAtmEAQYAiABEgKVT_D_BwE

Yes, it’s 700cc. I was hoping to do a rear wheel conversion so I don’t have to worry about the front wheel being a target for thieves. Of course, I’d still have to worry about thieves stealing the whole bike, I guess. But that is a hell of a deal for an electric conversion.

Just cable lock the front wheel to the frame and you will only have to worry about them stealing your rear wheel.
