Bike to E-Bike conversion.

[TeeDee]

Has anyone purchased a Conversion kit to turn a Bike into an E-Bike?

I've not done this but I know a guy who has and it went quite well. I think that if you're inclined and enjoy fiddling and doing the work it can be a good and economic choice, although parts might be harder to find now, it seems that bike parts generally are getting harder to find, I had to wait a month for brake disks and was lucky to get hold of them.

There's a couple fo vids on EMBN

One thing am aware of is get the battery pack from a reputable company.
Someone I subbed to on YouTube has put togehter a few ebikes himself, and one made by UnitPackPower went thermonuclear.

Ouch.

I think it's a rare thing though, not that you want it to happen to you though

Yeah, could be a case of an unscrupulous company using recycled 18650 cells, rather than new.
