I'm getting a pair of Electra Townie Balloon 7i EQ's for my wife and for myself and am planning on converting to e-Bikes using the Bafang BBSHD. But the options are kind of bewildering!
The options are bewildering as a newbie to e-bikes:
1. LV cut: 41, 43V? With a 52V battery do I need a higher LV cut level? or is 41V fine?
2. chain wheel: no silver Bling Ring option?
3. throttle type: left or right? thumb or half twist?
4. e-brake choices: standard? cable? hydraulic?
5. do I need gear sensors? For the Townie 7i's it would be the IGH version
6. which brake controls: standard? cable? hydraulic? the Townie 7i has Shimano Nexus Roller Brakes w/Cooling Fins
7. 68 or 72 mm? I'm pretty sure the Townie 7i is not a fat bike, so probably 68?
8. I'd like to get a Satiator but it's not cheap... can I share one Satiator between two bikes/batteries?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
