I'm not sure if it would be available in your country but these guys sell conversion kits that are pretty easy to put together. I haven't tried them but from what i have heard they're a little weak on the power capabilities end but they get the job done & have good customer service. They're based in the Uk switch conversion kit

How powerful do you want a bike? Or do you want to assemble an electric bike from an ordinary bike?
RiskAffectionate5455@reddit (OP)
e bike and like about 55 to like 70 mph
wedstrom@reddit
That's a motorcycle, those are 10k or more here as well, wrong subreddit
RiskAffectionate5455@reddit (OP)
wdym wrong subreddit
wedstrom@reddit
I mean you should find a motorcycle subreddit or at least one that focuses on Surron type stuff, we are more about bicycles with electrification here.
A subreddit is a forum within reddit, each one has a community with different interests and rules, and you can find one that specializes in your interests.

i want a fast e bike thts it
Cock_InABox@reddit
You’re being absurd, 50mph is hauling ass on a e bike. 70 is uncontrollable
RiskAffectionate5455@reddit (OP)
i used to have motor bikes in my home contry tht went 80 to 90
Cock_InABox@reddit
Yes motorcycles, not electric bicycles. A bike frame is not at all designed to go those speeds

fair enf but wt would u sugest
Cock_InABox@reddit
If you’re building the bike on a bicycle frame I would settle for 35-45 mph, that is still hauling ass on a bike frame and already incredibly dangerous at those speeds. If you built a bike on a standard frame that did 70 mph it would not go 70 for long and literally try to rip itself apart. An e moto is an entirely different design meant to be able to go faster at the cost of not being street legal. But regardless it sounds like your set on building a not legal bike so I’m just advising you do it safely, technically you should not be able to exceed 20 kilometers per hour probably why a bike is so expensive there

thx tht helps if u could can u tell me a good mid drive
Cock_InABox@reddit
Cyc X-1 Pro gen 4 is good stuff but I’m not sure on the availability for you, bafang is also a safe bet. You’ll definitely want a 1000w+

ssadly unavibel in my contry

You can assemble an electric bike from a regular bike pretty quickly.

ik but like i want to make 1 on my own from scracth
jenny_krovatka@reddit
That's about what I meant, but I would recommend a central motor, bike gears can work in this configuration, I have a Bafang 750W, this company has a choice of motors from 250W to 1000W
