ryan, do you assume a 40-50 mile range in eco, or have you gotten that? I’m
interested because I live in flat country and would, if I had an e machine, use
mostly eco, or nothing…that kind of range is in the range that makes me
interested. tom horton but darn, those copenhagen wheels are

You're welcome, Tom, and apologies if I come off as an arrogant know-it-all.
I've done a lot of research - including spending WAY too much money on mistakes
- on this stuff, and hope to pass some of it along so others can skip some
expensive steps. I fear that can sound more admonishing than
very useful info joe, thanks much; especially on the considerations of slender
front forks. tom

I agree the bike could use bigger rubber - right now the amount of tire
clearance is almost comical, like a lifted Jeep running mini spares - but I'm
pretty happy with the 1.6 Continentals, so they'll be on there 'til they wear
out. The previous bike the electric kit was on had 700 x 28, so I'm
Love it! I did something similar with my LHT (opting to leave the Ramboulliet
analog). Echoing a previous poster, fat tires are a good idea. You'll get going
faster than you might be used to and a poor man's suspension provides much
better control on uneven surfaces.

Oh, I forgot to explain the bags. What you see is an old Baggins Candybar on a
Nitto Grip..that holds the controller. On top of that is an Acorn Tool Bag in
the bag loops. Clever, eh? ;)

I did the deed and you can see it here. I bought this kit used and attached to
a hybrid, then decided I liked it so much that I wanted it on a nicer bike. It
still needs wood fenders installed, and the wires need a better cover than that
blue plastic I jury-rigged to avoid today's after-rain
