hello everybody.
I am reading this forum a while now and I think I´m ready to start my Fatbike build.
It will be a carbon fatbike with carbon wheels.
the motor will be the new Bafang 1000W middrive BBSHD.
I have some questions now, where I didn´t find an answer in other threads...
is it possible to use carbon rims on a 1000W ebike?
do I need stronger spokes as normal?
plan A.
the manufacturer can STRENGTHEN the rims with extra layers of carbon.
(not sure why he´s doing that, maybe he plans to build ebikes-rims in the future)
plan B.
I could get trispoke carbon wheels also, they seem stronger but.....
1.price is double than normal wheel.
2. no IHG (internal gear hub) possible for those rims.
3. I´m not convinced by their look so far...
cheers!
