Probably an owl on the trail? So you had to space out from the BB on the chainring side to miss the chainstay? So what was the top speed difference between the 2 rings?

https://electricbike-blog.com/2016/03/05/how-to-buy-your-first-ebike-or-ebike-kit-and-not-get-punked/ That article. Seems to me he has been burned enough times to have learned.

I actually read it in a article pertaining to electric bikes. A well knows site. I have yet to step foot in a bike shop that sold electric bikes. It just makes s/ense to me not to just buy Chinese made stuff from someone off ebay. I may save a ton but if I get it and it takes a crap then was it...

So this crystalyte kit, my trek is a 29ner. Which wheel under the selection is that? I looked those over and pretty good price really. Another quesiton I had is if I ran out of juice and its a direct drive, is it a pain to pedal? Id like to avoid that really. So I take it its a direct drive?

I was told not to trust buying that stuff on ebay. Could be a hit or miss and Id rather have a pleasant experience doing this for the first time even though I will pay more. I do have a superfly that I bought a few years back and havent ridden it in a while. Figured I would electrify it and get...

Trek superfly hardtail model year 2013. Need some suggestions for hub drive, 25mph at least, throttle, no regen, assist, some hills, commute, budget $1500 max. Lunacycle is out of the 1000w, purchase battery from them. Need some direction.
