I went ahead and got a few things change on my bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Comp now has a new tire in the front called Sunlite Revolutions if that is the name of the tire. They are 26 x 2.5 tires. A new rim is on the way as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glenwood had its controller mounted on the outside of the bag. So I need to buy a cover for the wires. I need to get rid of those anderson connectors from the battery base plate to xt60’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe something like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackie has new wheels. They are 26 x 3 Beach Bums tires from 26 x 4 knobbies. Inner tubes are still 26×4. But it works who cares. I may swap the seat back to a regular bike seat to make cops stop double looks lol. Still need a 72v battery and new controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may just go and drop off at warehouse and tell them to work on it sometime this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s my problem with the above bikes. They are all slick tires. Meaning they are not great for wet pavement. Nor off roading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’m looking at the Axum which has been sitting there in storage for 3 months now. I did ride it to work once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I go mid-drive or should I go hub. That is the simple question at the end of the day. I can get a motor wheel for $270 or a whole kit for $480 from Ebikeling. I already have a controller that I can take from Blackie. But can not use the wheel as its for a fat bike frame. Mid-drives on the other hand are above the $700 mark and I really don’t want to spend that much on it. I’m Looking at getting bigger batteries for more run time but I most use what I got at the moment. I can probably fit a 30ah battery in this frame but I lose the ability to swap out the battery when its drain. IF I do get a hub motor for this bike I will also replace the brakes with hydraulic brakes with the kill switch. So much to do with this bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
