However, you are making a very common mistake. This is not understanding that almost everything that makes for a good BICYCLE makes for a bad, even unsafe and dangerous, EBIKE. You wouldn't take a roadbike down a mountainside, right?

Go to Walmart. Find a nice, STEEL frame. It will come with a lot of other stuff attached to it. Start with the brakes, then the wheels and tires, where you stop is up to you. Attach your electric motor and battery to the STEEL frame, and off you go.

Em3EV.com, Ebikes.ca, Ypedal.com are all reputable and trustworthy businesses, from both personal experience and a LARGE NUMBER of customer relations threads read voraciously over a period of five years. Other companies can be far, far less so.

Motor speed rating (NOT wattage!), battery voltage and amps, and wheel size all figure into finding a motor with a MAX speed about 20-25% higher than what you want to cruise at.
I got your point, let's presume I got a steel frame(yet not a big deal as well as new brakes, wheels, and tires ) I was supposed to change it, but what for the kit? Which do you recommend to install regarding its best convenience? I apologize for my weak awareness
thnx for your response anyway
