      Cars are essential where I’m from, an e bike will get you killed. But good for you

      If you live anywhere in the US that isn’t a big coastal city, this isn’t an option.

        I’m still building it, but be prepared to buy a lot of tools and parts if you don’t have experience already. I’m waiting on some electrical connectors to connect the controller and battery, and I had to get a metal file to file down the front dropout because it was ever so slightly too small to fit the motor on.

            it reads 5/0 up/down on my end.

            it’s been fun. I’ve been working on the conversion since late last month. my work schedule sucks so I don’t have that much time to spend on it day-to-day. a lot of the time’s also spend working, finding out I need a part/tool I don’t have, waiting for delivery, getting another because this one I got is the wrong size, etc. which introduces tedium. if I’m lucky it’ll be complete soon.
