I am building my first electric bike and just need to know if I am on the right track. I am looking at a 29 inch hard tail mountain bike. I am a big guy and like the feel of the 29 inch wheels. The hard tail is for a rack to carry a 15lb 48v 20ah Lipo battery. I am looking at a 9C type 48v 1000w rear hub motor. Can't seem to find anyone that sells this with a 29" rim so I will have local bike shop lace it for me. Reading the forum I have read that 29" wheels make for a high gear for a rear hub. Around town it is mostly flat to up to 7% grades. I will occasionally go up the canyon at a average 6-9% grade with sections from 4-21% grade. Any opinions would be welcome.
Desired max speed on level ground. 30mph
Desired max range at what cruising speed. 30 miles @ 20mph
Preferred bike wheel size 29"
Brake type of motor wheel. Disc.
Rider weight. 210
Terrain. see above.
Thanks!
