To give you some background. I need an e-bike for my new commute. It is 31 miles each way. I haven't started working there yet so I am not sure if I will be able to charge or not. It is all paved and fairly flat.
I have a carbon fiber fixed gear track bike (not exactly this mine was much cheaper but in the same spirit to https://feltbicycles.com/collections/tk/products/tk1-track-bike?variant=18311355793526).
It has no suspension and disc brakes and runs 28cc knobby tires (I take it onto gravel/grass occasionally and abuse it a bit). I prefer to use the bike I have just to keep costs down if possible.
I intend to only use it as a pedal-assist bike.
Does anyone have any suggestions on motors or batteries or will this build work?
I was thinking of using the below BBSHD and a triangle 52v 28AH triangle battery both from Luna. That should give me plenty of speed so my commute doesn't take 2 hours each way and range to get home just in case I can't charge at work.
I did hear the BBSHD is a pretty bad pedal-assist bike and requires super high RPM's (150RPM) for pedal assist. Can anyone confirm, 150RPM seems ridiculous but idk? I would say my RPM are about 40-70RPM on average depending on my energy level.
