Thanks for the feedback! Decided to go with the Phaserunner - I did more reading up on it and it has a lot of features I'd want: * Torque-based throttle: fits neatly with torque sensor, and constant torque for acceleration is slower but more efficient based on the motor simulator. Not quite...

Long-time bike rider, but first time building an ebike, looking to convert an old Diamondback Ascent Ex (26" MTB rigid steel/chromoly) and want to make sure I'm on the right track before I order any expensive parts. Questions / advice wanted: • The Diamondback only has 130mm dropouts - will...

2 and 3 are the main reasons I want to build one myself, and I do think it would be a lot of fun... But as someone without a car, I've been dreaming of being able to travel further more easily (especially in very hot, very cold, or bad weather) for years, and now that this possibility has...

Sorry about no link: https://www.juicedbikes.com/products/crosscurrent-s?variant=4417415544855 The 12Ah battery is the base configuration, but they offer a 19Ah for only $300 more, and is what I was planning on. There's also a 21Ah@52v available in April. I was able to demo this bike...

Thanks Chalo - I think I should've been clearer that I want the ability to go faster when needed, but not that I'd necessarily go that fast continuously. I'm guessing 23-24mph would be much more doable for those longer distances? The 28mph number got stuck in my head because it's a legal limit...

Key things I'm looking for: • 28mph or higher. Especially if I end up going longer distances as I expect • High range. My in-town needs are 10-20mi round trip, but there's lots of places I'd like to try the e-bike for that are 30-50mi round trip, especially as I don't own a car. From what I've...
