I've got a 2014 Bullitt that I like, but it has a failed Bionx battery (and/or failed BMS) that I'm leery of investing more in. To that end, I'm thinking of switching to a mid-drive. I primarily transport kids to school and do some shopping. Not too much hills, maybe 15-20 mile round trip max. I was looking at the BBSHD and either keeping the rear with its 8 speed cassette, or maybe switching to a nexus 3 speed (I'd have to replace the Bionx rear hub drive anyway). I know the BBS02 is cheaper/lighter, but wonder if it would be sufficient for the Bullitt (55lbs), me (200lbs), and the kids (75lbs). My budget is somewhere between $50 (new rear hub, no electric) and $5000 (new e-bullitt), and to complicate things, my wife is getting a Tern GSD (she got a pretty good deal) that uses a Bosch powerpack 400 and has space for another - it would be cool to have compatible batteries. I'm a little handy with bikes, but any advice would be welcome!
