    Best Value fast ebike for my commute?

    I commute 18k to work (each way) and until recently did it by a normal gravel bike. Recently I installed a 750w tsdz2 hub motor to my hardtail mtb and jumped to average 25-30km/hr to 38-42 km/hr on the emtb. As you know aerodinamics is a huge issue once you get some speed, so a 750w hub motor...

    How to use a 250W front hub motor with an aluminium for and survive?

    Yes, the common advise is NEVER to use an aluminum fork when using a front hub motor. But on the other hand there are hundred of thousands of ebikes with aluminum forks and front hub motors (Vanmoof and many others). So my question is, what would be the the key concepts to consider if you want...

BUT the fork of this bike I wanted to use is aluminium and flimsy so I would need to change the...

    Advise on how to convert to my commuter to and ebike. Mid or rear hub? 500w? Battery?
