>>1056759Around £400 for the bike and £400 for the electric conversion kit (nearly $500 for each), 500w kit but will put out just over 700w when fully charged. It'll top out around 25mph on flat ground on just the motor and pedalling will get it up to 32mph (the no load max speed of the motor). T
he battery is 36v and I think 11Ah and probably takes 3-4 hours to charge, I've never taken much notice of the time and rarely charge it from completely flat.
Range is a tricky thing when it comes to electrically assisted bikes as it can vary wildly, if I was just using the motor power and riding uphill a lot it might go in under 10 miles but if I'm on flat ground and putting in some pedal power it'll last much longer, especially if I limit the assistance speed in which case it could be just pedal power when cruising on flat ground and then using the motor for accelerating and hill climbing.
If I was going to do it again (I may build another at some point) I'd pay the extra for a mid drive motor, maybe go hardtail or at least choose a frame with a bit more room for the battery.
