Hello All,
Newbie here looking for support and advice.
I don't know much about common sizes of crank shafts, rims, sprockets, etc. I obviously can measure what I have, but could stumble on things like: is a rear axle measured from axle end to axle end, or the space between rear frame. I also don't have the terminology down yet, so bear with me.
I am an electrician and an electric RC hobby enthusiast. I have also ridden dirt bikes and motorcycles all my life (44yrs) so I think I can handle a build, but would like to keep it as simple as possible, i.e. no frame cutting/welding.
I am located on Ascension Island, South Atlantic (shipping to Patrick AFB, FL). It is a tiny little volcanic island in the middle of nowhere between Africa/South America. Lots of sand, steep hills/mountains filled with volcanic cinders(1/4" pumice pebbles), rocks and boulders not to mention the constant 15 knot wind.
I have a new Corsa Mammoth Fat tire bike that I want to convert to electric. The AWD's coming out seem very cool, but are probably a bit complicated for me as I cant head to the local bike shop and have them lace some spokes on my new hubs/rims. With what research I have done, I am trending towards bafang mid drive with a 48v 15 to 20ah lithium triangle pack.
Firstly, Do you think this is a good choice of main components? I think most kits come with controller/display and batteries often come with a charger.
Secondly, if these choices are good, will they fit my bike and or do I need to make a specific option choices that I am unaware of?
Could you advise me of any parts and pieces I will need in addition to main components that are not included yet required to complete the build (I don't want to need a disc brake shim or some odd part and have to wait 3wks/mo. because of my location/shipping wait time). Torque arms are on my radar.
Lastly, reputable vendor references with knowledge and support would greatly appreciated. Right now em3ev is who I'm leaning towards right now, especially for the battery. And holy cow, a build list would be awesome!
Please don't hesitate to request specific measurements or pictures of my bike and thank you in advance for all help and thank you endless sphere for having a place to pose my questions.
