    aetoma motor and battery for my commute

    I have the same cost savings thought as you a few weeks ago about the SLA vs LifePO4. However, my conculsion is that SLA is a little too heavy. It is losing the fun for biking since pedaling become harder. Eventally, I will not pedal any more if I get a SLA. In this case, I told myself if I get...

    500W ebike kit for this hill?

    The total 1 way commute should be 4.5miles but 2 out of 4.5 miles are totally flat so I have no problem to pedal. I only have problem with the last 2.5miles with slope. I roughly calculate the slope grade (grade = vertical_climb / horizontal_distance, is that correct?), the steepest area I...

    Hi all, I'm new to ebike and I would like to purchase one to help me to pedal thru the slope to my home since i'm not allowed to get a scooter :cry: . My total commute is about 2.5 miles but there is about 1.5mile with a "sorta" steep slope (see the link in below). I would help to pedal a...
