Cheers tj, that’s the forum I was trying to find earlier, will have a good through the topics later.
Ta very much to all for the other advice regarding motors etc, it seems there is more to a conversion than buying a complete kit/battery and throwing it at the bike, I have an unhealthy hatred of excessive cabling/wiring so if I can minimise the rats nest then all the better, I could entertain the idea of a new bike, a custom built frame around the best motor for the job could be on the cards as I could hide the cabling internally, and perhaps even fit a rohloff hub gear, would it cope with the drive power from a mid drive motor though?.
Too many questions……. I’d best get googling and do my research.
mick, the Scott was doing me fine over the past 2years, but the previous 6 months or so has seen my leg strength deteriorate quite alarmingly so I’d best start to find an alternative means of getting about before I run out of options regarding mobility. I was up at Aviemore last week and I couldn’t even get round Loch an Eilein on the Scott as there is a small gravelly climb about half way round that I couldn’t get up – bugger,
Ive still got my SOULCRAFT SS that Ben @ Kinetics repaired hanging on my wall, but I’d never sully that frame with an ebike build, that’d be sacrilege.
Ho hum…..best get googling, anyone want to buy a very slightly used Scott 710+ E-Genius 😉
