That's like 70s style pussys.


Cue up some Barry White. Ahhhh yeah.

Doesn't matter which frame metal you use. Unless you need to go by tube diameter.

To do it right. You need to go to a bike shop to get measured.

26" tires have been around forever. The 29" came out a few years ago. Said to be less rolling resistance. Not everyone is doing them.

Other thing is brakes. Cantilevers brakes or disc. Go with disc's.

Gears. How many gears you want? There is some new stuff out there that I haven't kept up with.

All MT bike have front forks now. This is where it can get $$$$$ I have Marzocchi Bomber's on mine.

Isn't he just getting this bike to put an electric motor on it and tool about with the girlfriend? If so, seems to me it really doesnt matter which bike he gets as long as it has a seat, handlebars and brakes. Wouldnt a walmart bike work for this project? Don't get me wrong... my last bike was a Cervelo triathlon bike, so I understand. But buying a high end bike to strap an electric motor on seems like overkill.

Start at a bike shop

Choosing the Right Bicycle for an Electric Bicycle Conversion - EbikeSchool.com

Definately getting something with disc brakes. rear derailluer. Whatever wheels comes on the bike. And no clue on gears. i just assumed the typical 7. And I'm not sure those matter that much after a conversion anyways.

While Iw ant to keep it cheap, I also don't want to halfarse it. A Wally World bike just seems sketchy. I was thinking about a Giant or something.

I was reading that article earlier actually. haha

They definitely more preferable that way. They still ugly as hell. Have ever seen a hairless cat? LMAO

Unless you want to do offroad, get a hybrid. Most are 27 speed, 3 chainrings up front, 9 speed cassette in the rear. Like I mentioned, you'll be removing the 3 chainrings in the front to install a single chainring that comes with the bafang kit.
The 9 speed in the rear is still good to have over a 7 speed. Hybrids generally come with 700c wheels, that's the same size as a road bike but wider. They are basically 29". Also, get stainless steel spokes on the wheels or the spokes will rust out in no time. Get trigger shifters, not twist shifters that come on the cheap bikes. And do not get a steel frame bike, aluminum for sure. Giants are fine as are all the name brands. Again, it all has to do with the components. I ride a Fuji hybrid as my everyday bike. It has high end components. The owner of the shop I did repairs for is a Fuji dealer and gets their bikes for less than half off. I paid him $300 for an $800 hybrid. He is also an electric bike dealer. If you were out here I could get you an amazing price on an electric bike.
