Hello everyone at Endless Sphere
I have been lurking on the forum for a few months now, impressed with what you have all achieved I intended to get a cheap kit to try on my Orange hardtail bike, as an introduction, unfortunately this was stolen, but its not all bad, as I have just received this Fatbike as a gift. (added as attachment)?
My problem is, there is so much information on this forum, i often find myself reading threads that although interesting, just aren't relevant to me. I thought it would be best to just ask some opinions to point me in the right direction, or at least direct me to the appropriate threads.
Trying to source things in the UK to save on import costs if possible. I just want the best value possible without wasting money, on bad choices, or incompatible items.
INFO
Loc: Uk (north)
How Far: approx 25-30miles, any more is a bonus
How Fast:25- 30mph on bursts
Wgt of rider: 13stone (maybe 14 after xmas)
I was thinking along the lines of a brushless geared motor, rear wheel with instant start (not pedelec) with a battery to fit in the triangle.
I need to find the correct motor and to be able to have it laced somewhere in the UK.
Happy to lower speed for more torque.
I have approx £1000gbp and willing to go a few 100 higher if the benefits are right
