Hi everyone, been a distant observer for a while, just joined.
I want to get this out there first. I know nothing about bikes and less about ebikes, I just know I want one.
I currently have a 2016ish Specialized Fatboy, I am looking to get a conversion kit for it. I am currently looking at the Bafang BBSHD 1000W.
My questions are; I have two front chainrings, its says on the outside chainring BCD104mm and 36/22. I used my fingers and toes to figure out that the number 36 and 32 refer to the teeth on the chainring. When I buy the BBSHD it gives you options for a chainring but nothing regarding a second chainring. Can I run this bike with just the 1 chainring that is provided or do I have to get a second chainring because my bike originally had two.
I measured the bottom bracket size with a caliper, its reads 100.34mm. Should I be purchasing the 74-100mm or the 101-120 size options?
Any suggestions for a display that can read a 52v battery?
I will not be using the bike all that often, main purpose is for ice fishing (studded tires are being purchased soon) and hunting. I will be pulling a bit of weight occasionally but through little snow. I will be climbing the odd hill during hunting season. Do you guys have suggestions on how to prevent burning up the motor while climbing or pulling weight, also any suggestions on type of chainring that fits the mentioned type of riding?
Some bike stats.
There are 10 back gears (I have heard these being referenced to as cassettes).
Two front chainrings 36/22.
The bike is a Fatboy XL (similar to myself)
Serial number is WSBC602073350K
Alot to unpack hear, any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
