Thinking against electric, simply because they are more expensive just for the motor, then have to buy battery as well.. I'm aiming for 200-250$ as a spend limit.
Rear mount kits look over my price range too, so unless I could figure out some custom rig and manage it quite a bit cheaper I'll likely just go for some cheapo bike that can fit a in-frame kit.
ALSO... spent hours trying to fix brakes and only made things worse..
Adjusters are made out of a really cheap metal that is all bent so I can't loosen/tighten at the handles, and can't get the calipers aligned so that both sides clamp equally... Spent hours on it. Realized I didn't know what the **** I was doing and gave up. Only managed to get front brakes working but they won't spring back completely after use, so are rubbing a bit. Rear I tore out due to the adjuster warping when I tried forcing it with a pair of pliers, so the line was completely pulling through.
Are disk brakes easier to manage, like they are on cars?
