How do I choose the best e-bike conversion kit for my bike?
PATHWAY TO FINDING AN E-DRIVE SYSTEM THAT SUITS YOU AND YOUR BIKE PERFECTLY.
#1 does your bike already align with your riding preferences ?
You may have invested in a bike years ago and now your riding preferences have changed. If your bike type already suits your riding preferences then all that leaves is deciding on which e-drive system will best align with your bikes current mechanical specs.
What is the bike you want to convert to electric originally designed to function as ? Road bike ; MTB (Full suspension MTB OR Hardtail MTB ) ; Hybrid bike ; Gravel bike ; Tandem bike; Folding bike ;Fat wheel beach / snow bike, cruiser bike , trike, recumbent or another design not mentioned here?
Specific electric bike systems work better on certain types of bicycles.
The type of bike is not the one and only deciding factor. You need to also consider your riding preferences.
Does your current bike type match your current riding preferences? ( relaxed vs aggressive sitting position ; road tyres vs off-road tyres ; a rigid fork vs front air shock ; off-road vs on-road riding ; less Gears VS more Gears ).
Fine-tuning may be required to align your riding preferences with your bikes mechanical components.
