Hi all
Looking at buying a cheap full suspension bike (e.g. Giant 2021 Trance) and bolting on a powerful mid-drive motor.
Need it to be as light as possible, won't be doing any jumps, will mainly be on the road, on gravel, and some light trails.
Maximum speed will hopefully be 70km per hour, with crazy acceleration from zero to 50kmph.
I will be using 3 x 6s Turnigy high-capacity Li-Po batteries (72V).
So far, the Cyc X1 Gen 2 looks to be the most powerful choice, coupled with the BAC 2000.
Any experience with these types of motors, or any other options you'd recommend?
I'd be looking at 5 to 6kw max power. However, I'm not sure if the drive train will be able to handle this.
Appreciate any advice
Thank you
