Motor attachment to bike
Posted by Numerous_Limit9728@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 5 comments
I recently saw this ad for a motor to be attached to your bike which then transforms it to an ebike. Im wondering how reliable are these and are they worth getting over an ebike? Thanks.

Start with a high quality bicycle.
I installed a Bafang 750w kit.
And I installed one on my wife's bike and I installed one on a friend's bike.
We are all very happy with our purchase.

You need to be more specific, loads of kits out there, some are great some are fire hazards.

Mostly the batteries, but yes.

Is it this Clip?
I actually live near this startup and it's a nifty little invention that takes 5 seconds to put on/off.
It's obviously not as good as an actual ebike and doesn't have as much range, but great for portability and flexibility to just cruise around town.

Depends on the size of the motor and how decent your bike frame is. I would personally always choose a bike that was designed to be an ebike in the first place as they are much stronger frames.
