Greetings from England.
My first post so here's a little info about me. I have had experience with petrol bicycles and electric bicycles before. I modified an electric bike as it was given to me with a broken controller; it was a 250w 24v SLA bike, I modified it to 48v. didn't last five minutes though. :lol: The petrol bike was a 80cc (66cc) kit, got rid of it because it was noisy ect ect.
Anyway I'm looking for a kit that could give me 36mph+ I would like a hub motor as I would imagine they are generally more reliable, discreet and quiet. I want about 15+ miles range, I'm keen on using lifepo4. I'd be converting a Claudbutler, I forget what the model is but its a 26 incher well built, aliminium frame, the brakes are fantastic as they are hydraulic disc. I weigh about 80KG (176lbs), my total budget will be max: £1250 (2079USD).
EDIT: model is a Claud Butler Cape Wrath D27
Hope you can help me out.
Cheers,
Alex.
