is it posible to easily make a regular mountain bike into an electric bike?




Liz G


if so, even if it's costly, how is it done? thanks


Answer
You can buy kits but by the time you pay for those it's working out just as expensive as buying a purpose built electric bike. Unless you have a passion for constructing bikes and some knowledge of electrics I would think buying a new bike would be the preferable option. Also if you live in the UK and want to stay 100% legal you have to fit the bike with a restrictor as anything that can go over 15 mph is classed as a motorised vehicle and liable to road tax etc. If you're not interested in the legalities then you can buy a rear wheel with a motor in the hub and a battery then you just have to wire it up to some form of switch mechanism. I have my electric bike wired up with an electric light switch that bypasses the restrictor which isn't ideal but it's quite effective.

Any Electric Mountain Bikes under $400?

Something not 300 pounds or ugly and bulky, but with good speed and light weight. Remember, under $400. Thanks.
or under $500.



Answer
"or under $500?"

NO Capital N. Capital O. NO. A true quality electric assist bicycle from Trek costs OVER $2,000.

And it's not a mountain bike.

For the price of just ONE electric assist bike, you could buy THREE of these...
