Hey all,
I currently have a 1000w 48v kit on my old 26" hard tail bike. I'm looking to upgrade to a 2013-2015 giant trance and try my hub motor at first, but then probably eventually install a BBSHD. The thing is, it looks like the rear dropouts are not going to be easy to fit my standard 1000w hub motor, due to a different shape (and possibly width). What do people do in this situation these days? is there an adapter for these modern bikes that don't have old school dropouts?
also, if i wanted to fit a bbshd mid drive, the bottom bracket on these is apparently 87mm or something non standard like that, without screw in fittings.. so is there a simple solution there?
Am I crazy for wanting to do a conversion on such a new bike? are there better full suspension candidates i should be looking at in Australia for a reasonable price?
Cheers
Paul
