I've taken up the project of converting my bike into an electric one. But, unfortunately I'm not completely familiar with the voltage and watt hours of motors, and I wanted to double check with others before purchasing.
-My bike is an Octane 24 Diamondback that weighs about 30 pounds if I am correct.
-I weigh about 120 pounds (Don't worry, this bike is about 4 years old and I'm 14 as of now and
since it's such an old one I thought about converting it).
-So roughly 150 pounds all together.
With this weight in mind, I wasn't sure what to purchase.
-I'm not going to be traveling very far with this bike. Maybe 10-15 miles at the most, but often way less than that on most days.
-Yet I don't want to get in the process of having to charge it so constantly (If that has anything to do
with the motor, seems more battery wise).
-I would like to travel at a nice pace. Not slow or too fast but medium.
-Also I would be riding this bike up and down many small hills because of the roads and terrain in
my community.
So this is mainly all the info I think is needed for this assessment of my situation.
Please, help me out. I would like to have this project finished soon because of the changing seasons.
Also, if you have any other info or tips on this conversion it would be a great help and I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
Thanks you!
