Hub motor conversion kit
Posted by asterous1@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 4 comments
so, I currently have a kingttu G6 as a regular bike, I'm gonna assume that it's not conversion compatible, can I use any bike frame that is built regularly?
in addition,.how do torque arms work, and will I need one for a 5000w 72v conversion kit?
do I need special tires or can I use the ones on my current bike ( if they fit)

Aftermarket torque arms are pretty much mandatory for this kind of build, you get one set of dropouts and if you trash them that's it. Grin Tech makes a pretty good lineup, I'd check em out
Also, how fast are you trying to go? I wouldn't push a folder past 30 unless it was seriously overbuilt

But thank you, most likely I am getting a bike off Facebook has a fine frame and I'll just convert that though.

Well max I'd go is 40, I have gone over 32 going downhill on my bike though and no issue, I also don't fold my bike, it's REALLY hard to fold and I have never tried folding it after I first got it

This is my current bike
