Hi,
What a great forum. Lot of information, reviews, etc.
I don't have an ebike yet. I'd like to add a motor to my triathon roadbike. The frame and fork are CR-MO. Fork dropout is 100mm, standard. Wheels are 700c.
A dealer did not recommended to install his 500W kit on it. Is that a no-no for a front wheel hub motor? Even for a 36V, 350Watt system? I'm not looking for high torque at startup but speed (25MPH or so) and battery efficiency with medium pedaling.
I wouldn't mind a rear wheel kit. It's just that my rear triangle dropout is only 125mm instead of 135mm. The kits I've seen are for 135mm. Can I order one that would fit my narrow 125mm dropout. (I wouldn't mind 5 gears instead of 7 if the smalls gear is small (11 or 12)? Any recommendation?
Thanks in advance for you advice.
