Hello All,
My name is Oscar and I am from the USA. I've been wanting to convert my mountain bike to electric for a few years now, I came across Michah Toll's DIY ebike book and found out about EndlessSphere from their. I was hoping to get some feedback from some more experienced people and hope to be able to share my build. What I'm looking to do is to convert my low end Trek mountain bike to electric, I plan to use a rear hub design. Keeping cost down is important which is why I have chosen to go with BMSBattery.com. They have great prices and all in one kits that seem easy for a first time builder, the shipping is outrageous but all in all is still a good value. While doing some research though, I've read that they are not well known for their batteries and controllers, hopefully someone can confirm or deny that. My goals with this bike are:
-Be able to reach up to 20mph and maintain that
-Be able to get ample or full assistance up hills
-A range of anywhere from 15 to 30 miles
-I will be using a 26inch rim and V brakes, although I would like to convert the front brake to disc (not sure if it will be cost efficient though)
-My weight is 210lbs and I plan to primarily use this around the city and through easy dirt trails here and there
-Keep the build inconspicuous, out of sight as much as possible/if possible
The kit i have in mind is the Q100 36V 350W

I understand this kit probably will not meet the criteria of which I'm looking for but I thought this is where I could start and down the line add a front hub Q100 motor, overvolt both motors and run a larger capacity battery if needed.
I've also considered the Q11 1000watt motor but they do not sell this in a kit from what I can find.
I look forward to all your responses, thanks!
