    Mid-drive conversion question

    I will stay with my current frame for now, but will keep that in mind if I ever decide to change the frame. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated, you've given me even more to think about. We'll see what I end up getting, but I'll make sure to make a new topic once I have gotten everything set...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    Regarding the throttle suggestion: unfortunately having a separate throttle is illegal and would require a BS insurance for the bicycle, so I'd rather not go that way. I'm pretty sure a small hub motor would be enough here. The hills are minimal and generally speaking not that deep, except for...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    For example here they don't particularly praise the pedal assist. But it sounds a lot better after reprogramming, but it still can't sense the power you're applying. For me torque sensor is important since I'd like to get some exercise too instead of being able to just cheat and soft pedal. I...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    Glad to hear good opinions on the Kit. How is the pedal assist on it or were you using throttle? Non-plowed roads are not too uncommon here in the winter time, so a bit of extra power would definitely help. So if I end up getting this kit I'll go for the 500w one. Honestly I'd rather go fully...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    Yeah that would be... Infuriating :lol: BMS battery has a nice looking 36v 10ah frame pack for 220€ including shipping estimate. 12.5ah version would be just 30€ extra, and they both come with chargers too! Sadly they're only rated 20 amps continuous, but if the motor was limited to 350w (18...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    Hi all! Lately I've been getting more and more into the idea of owning an e-bike. At the moment my way of commuting longer distances is by moped, but I feel like an e-bike could easily replace it. I do have a custom built Commencal Meta HT SX (2015 frame) which has been my short distance...

    Legally converting a gas moped into electric?

    Thanks for your helpful answer! Yeah that Honda is very nicely built indeed! I've been thinking about converting one of these enduro/supermoto mopeds with Minarelli AM6 engine. I'm familiar with them since I still own one (Peugeot XPS 2008) which could be used for this project. It's too...

    Legally converting a gas moped into electric?

    Yes I would be using a complete moped frame to make the paper work awfully lot easier. No chance getting a homemade frame registered, unfortunately :/ Thanks, will definitely look into that! -allu

    Legally converting a gas moped into electric?

    Hi all! First post on this forum, but I think I got this post in the right forum. As title say I've had this idea for a long time. I've always been into mopeds, yes they're slow with max speed of 45 km/h but they're so convenient. Super cheap tax and the best part; you can park them as a...
