I've built a few e-bikes and understand how they work, how to install, etc., but it's been about three to four years since I built any.
My wife and I have a couple nice Trek Cruisers and we want to install a couple front-hub motor kits.
We want them relatively light, pedal assist, a bit stealth. Maybe geared hub? I've always used DD hub motors, but they are heavy and obvious.
These bikes will be for cruising through various downtowns like Atlanta, Nashville, etc. Nice and easy pedaling with some help on the hills. We don't need fast. I'm probably thinking 36volt, 9-12ah.
Are there good kits with or without batteries that you guys can recommend? And if separate, which battery suppliers are currently the go-to for everyone?
Thanks.
