Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please excuse any mistakes I may do.
With the price of gas and the thought of tinkering with a bike with a motor I am planing on purchasing a electric kit.I plan to use it to ride to work and make store runs.The ride to work is all downhill ( apprx. 3 miles ) which is no problem, but coming home after working all day and peddling up the hills is not my definition of fun.Pushing my old Schwinn varsity up the hills( Im approaching 50 years old) is sort of embarrasing.I have been doing a little research on the web and like the cyclone.Using the gears of a new bike ( Waiting to purchase bike after battery/motor purchase) will I think, help me up the hills, Im not sure if a hub motor would have enough power.
Any way, any thoughts on the cyclone 900 or 1200 watt kits.The price of the new lipo batteries floored me.With such a short trip home from work would I need these new super batteries? I dont understand the difference between the 10 amp verses the 20, Is the different amperages for longer runs with out having to recharge?Any help would be appreciated, as you can already tell I am a newbee
Thanks and have a great day.
