Front Wheel conversion kit for Bike Friday

[Andrea s]

Hi!

I have a Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro with Sram E-tap electronic shifting. Anyone have an opinion or experience with converting the wheel (front i assume considering the Scram e- tap) to electric. I do like Bafang as i have used on a 2 wheel and trike. The system needs to be compatible with tthe LiGo battery system for travel.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Andrea

It may be cheaper and easier to convert to a new battery/motor package.

Thanks so much for your reply. I checked with Dillinger and their kits are not compatible with the LiGo batteries. I need the LiGo to travel by air, so Dillinger will not work.

Any other suggestions?

Sort it all from ebikes.ca! But liGo batteries are compatible! Just a change in connectors.

Yes, many thanks! Not sure whether to go directly to them (Grin) or via Bike Friday. Buying from Grin seems to cost a lot less.
