It’s already have 3500Km of use and the battery is slowing down. I could used it 40 km before needing to charge, nowadays I’m worried when I had to do more than 25. But is enough for going and coming back from work, and the office bike park have energy outlets so I can take the charger to work when I’m worry about it.
Yeah, hence why I’m trying to convert my bike into an ebike. I’ve never tried biking up it. I know I could walk it easily, but it’d probably double the time it takes.
At a minimum, the conversion should make the hill manageable even if it doesn’t make it easy.
That, and keeping up with my friends on trails will be nice.
The shit show to get to work for me in a major U.S. city, living ass deep in the city limits:
Trying to switch to an ebike where I can, just ordered the parts. Hopefully it will make this massive ass hill a little easier.
This is mine,
I have an e-bike so it’s not problem.
Looks fairly similar. That gives me hope that the conversion will do what I want.
Out of curiosity, what type of motor/battery are you using?
48V 10 Ah lithium battery with a 350W motor.

I’m going with a 48V 13Ah battery and a 500W motor, and it’s a mid drive. So I should definitely be in a good spot if yours is doing well for you.
And my battery is removable, so I’ll be able to charge it at my desk which will be nice.
Thats one heck of a hill. I can’t imagine doing that every day.
