Hello, I'm doing a science fair project on an electric bike conversion, and I'm planning to convert it by myself. But I'm a relative beginner, so can anybody advise me on what battery/motor to use in order to produce the most efficiency? How many batteries? How much would the battery and motor cost?
Also, do I have anything else to buy?
Thank you for your time.
Answer
If you want to take the easy route, there are kits available to convert a regular bike to electric.
You can use sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel metal hydride (NiMh), or lithium ion batteries. SLA are cheapest and have the shortest lifespan, lithium ion are most expensive and last longest. They generally use something on the order of one 36V12ah battery.
Generally the motor is in the neighborhood of 400-500 Watts.
Depending mostly on what kind of battery you choose, the whole thing can cost anywhere from $300 to $2000.

Anyone have a electric bike, i want one that looks like a mt. bike, and can also be used without the power on.
Answer
you have several options.
Giant will be coming out with a new model this spring, check out your Giant Ebike Dealer, or
Bird Ebike in Colorado if you don't have one.
Next is the Bionx ebike add on kit, can be added to most bikes.
Also Crystalyte hub motors can be added to most Mountain bikes.
Buy from a good dealer, locally if you can.
we have several ebikes including Giant bionx, Crystalyte and others.
Your best choice will depend on quite a few factors. but first make sure where they are legal in your locality. State of NY doesn't like them.
Legal electric assist Ebikes are generally considered bicycles if they comply with the federal law HR727- Max 750watts, pedals that work, maximum 3 wheels, maximum 20mph under power. but there are exceptions so check locally.
