Plan is to spend at most around 800-850 including tyres, tubes, maybe battery and everything. Have already got bike for 20. Its a Apollo paradox dual suspension dual disc 7 speed. Plan on changing up brakes to hydro setup front and rear, will be long term project as have house repairs going on that take proirity, was looking at replacement batteries lithium 12v 15ah for motorbikes at 80 or so euro a price so give maybe 300 for replacement batteries if I want to increase range, and then sbp freewheel crankset haven't looked at prices but I know there a bit costly
That is less than my typical performance E-bike.
You won't even FIND a decent battery and charger for $300 bud, not LI and you don't want to use Lead Acid, even Sealed LA, they just don't hold enough juice for the weight.
If this is your first electric at least you'll get to taste what it's like, but in 2 years or less you can consider all your investment to be a total loss, because that's about as long as you can expect it to last.
Biknut not to disagree but for example the sondors fold or x here costs 1,229 dollars including delivery, I know that may seem cheap but I simply don't have that to throw away, and to be honest after talking to guy who sells them about what I wanted to do he said that most of the actual problems with the squads is the batteries themselves are not properly taken care of and they have a longer shelf life than use so they are not at best even by time there sold
