I'm about to build another ebike. I figure a cheapo kit where I can take the battery off and leave the bike in the bike shed is my best bet. I can't bring the bike into my new apartment, and I just want something to jump on, push a throttle, and be to work in 10 minutes a couple miles away when it's shitty, windy, and bitter cold(WI) and I don't feel like really riding. I could build on a 26" bike that I can likely source for free, or a 650b wheeled Schwinn "mountain bike" from a box store that I found next to a dumpster this past summer.
Will one of the cheapo kits survive the cold of staying in a small bike shed for the winter? Will wiring, throttle, or LCD likely be an issue?
Also, I can't remember the website I ordered the battery from last time. Any thoughts on where to look for a cheap battery pack?
