What is the cheapest DIY Electric Bike kit? Anyone have experience?

DJ C

Please let me know how it is. Is it fun? Were you disappointed?

Answer
I have tried about 15 different ebikes and kits.

By far, the cheapest ones were the worst. those friction drive ones with rollers on the wheels. When you really need the help climbing a hill, they slip.

so skip those.

there are two fairly decent entry level kits... the WE BD36 and the Largo Go hub kit.

I prefer the Go hub at that price point. Have had happy customers with both.

I ride a Cyclone and a Bionx. Long range, good top speed and great hill climbing in one package.

I live on a hill and need transportation to school/ Electric Scooter?

I live on a hill and its is very difficult to come home. I can't drive and there are no bus or train stops near me. Biking isn't an option because coming home is the worst. Do you need a license to drive an electric scooter? Do need a helmet as well? How do they do on hills? How heavy are they? I was thinking about an electric or kick scooter. If I get a kick scooter I can carry it home because it only weighs 5 pounds. Please help me pick or suggest something new, by experience only please.

Answer
I've never owned an electric scooter, but I think it would be way too weak for your hill. Right now I ride a 70cc Honda scooter, and even that's a little weak for hill climbing. It'll get up the hill I have to climb, but everyone else is doing the speed limit, 45, while I'm doing 35 or 40. You might be lighter and more aerodynamic than me, but you should go with 100cc or more. And buy a Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki if you can afford it. Stay away from the Chinese garbage.
