Thanks to every one for the advice and encouragement. I don't have a balance problem, and I ride my new Schwinn (ladies bike) pretty good. Someone asked about budget. Yes, that is a concern since I can't afford a new e-bike. I'd like to buy a front wheel kit as I have the tools and have the ability to do the work. My concern is that there are lots of people selling the kits. They all use the same pictures in the ads, like on Ebay. Some mention parts in the kits where others don't and mention other components. Most of these people don't know how to compute watts, or amps if only two components are known. That worries me. What I need is someone who had bought a front wheel kit who is really happy with it and the seller. My other concern is, I can't afford a lithium battery and will have to resort to sealed lead acid batteries. Preferably three because of weight. That limits me to 36 volts. Will a 36 volt motor do the job, I weigh 200 pounds. Would a 48 volt motor be mandatory?
I only want to ride in my neighborhood, not to work. I quit that working thing 25 years ago. The doctor said my leg muscles are shrinking and I need to exersize more so here I am looking for advice.
Thanks,
Charlie
