A few months back I did a little research on the subject and wrote up my findings
In a nutshell
4 issues exist
do you buy a kit or premade ebike. ?
Type of kit.? front wheel motor, rear wheel motor, or center mount/ chain mount
Battiers - cost vs weight/ numbers of times it takes recharges etc.
My research tells me it wide open out there.. no such thing as standards at all.... Sort of like computers in late 70;s
p.s. mine is being built from the ground up over at 20 oranges. (TJ has been great )
Ill post of picture of my ebike if you are interested when its done..
