Hi all,
since the dutch government is cutting the budget for student transportation and therefor I am losing my "free public transport card", I want to build a pedelec for going to college etc.
I also own a racebike and I'm in good physical shape. The only reason I want to go electric instead of going on my racebike is the fact that I can't take a shower at the university and I dont want to change from my raceclothes to normal.
I was thinking about a racebike frame (singlespeed frame) with race tyres (thin) 700cx23, a rear wheel hub motor and a bottle like battery pack. Then the front gear is going to be an 53 and rear gears 10 to 28 (aprox.) Still not decided whether I go with diskbrakes or "normal" brakes..
I'd like to go 25 m/h, with normal pedalling. So the motor must deliver 12.5 m/h (the other 12.5 is mine).
The route to the university is approx. 14 miles one way, so the bike's range should be 30 miles at least to be safe..
My question to you guys is: which motor should I choose and which battery pack? I'd like to keep the frame as clean as possible (yes, I am quit demanding, sry..) so I prefer a small silver one, instead of a big black one (magic pie and sorts)...
Thanks alot!
