Thanks all. Seems I will likely opt for converting the hybrid bike. This bike will be a exercise, bike path, and general run about for now. I say likely because I still researching complete bikes and weighing benefits and costs etc.
By looks of things a Befang BBSHD kits for my bikes going run me around $1700cdn shipped to my door taxes in. And a few hours in the garage.
Alternately I can opt for a rad power Bike for similar $$$ go up to spending around $3000 for a good hard tail Giant e bike from my local bike shop or something like
https://www.voltbike.com/voltbike-enduro.html. The last bike is interesting to me as it’s the cheapest full suspension mid drive e bike I have seen. BUT $3000 is still a lot of money to me to spend on a bicycle. I have purchased street legal motorcycles for far less.
That being said. Any one know much about volt bikes. Not much in way of reviews etc and info on them. Worth the cost?
