Buy a new e bike or convert an old bike?
Asking for a friend. I am a long time member of this forum but don't know much about e bikes. My friend's bike is an ancient Panasonic 10 speed from the 70s. He brought up e bikes to me due to his recent heart attack. I told him he should consider one of the new e bikes. but he balked at the cost, saying he could buy something called a Copenhagen wheel or do a conversion for less money than a new e bike.
To me, it seems crazy to spend big bucks to convert such an old bike, but I figured I would put the question to this forum.
Thanks.
