I have a good road bike that is not getting much/any use, because of health/age reasons.
I was going to build up my new MAC hub motor into a 27.5 ( 650b ) heavy / cheep 8 speed mountain bike,
But now I would like to use that for just around town/pulling a trailer .
I Really I want to go on longer rides , and use the Road bike more often but that will , only , come with help from a Motor + Batteries
I would use 36 volts at first to keep the speed and amps down.
The thickness of the Aluminium on both the cheep Mountain bike and the very good Disc Road bike I have is 8.5 mm, with just 0.7 mm lip on the inside of the Mountain bike. so the dropouts are the same, just a little more material around the dropouts on the cheep mountain bike, But , wouldn't the Road bike have better quality aluminium ? so as to equal the difference of seat tube/chain stay tube size ?
Anyone here use 500-1000 watts on a road bike ?
