how to convert a hybrid to a road bike

Your mileage will vary (pun! Mountaining biking started on "klunkers" in the 70's by a bunch of guys who took road bikes and converted them over to handle off road riding. You can see in the final picture that the new bolts fit just fine. It came with 700x32 tires so I don't think 2.1s will fit. Now that we've sorted out fit and spacing, we can mount the motor with the bolts and retaining pieces. Great project, well done.There isn't a great deal of advice around on converting road bikes. That can be an easy $70 expense if you don't have spare parts.

A proper British-style touring bike with drop bars is the best way to travel quickly and comfortably with a load.

Steel frames are the best since they have some flexibility unlike aluminum.

Loctite needs to cure for about 24 hours, so depending on when you started this might be a good stopping point for the day. And of course you can convert a mountain bike to a > tourign bike by replacing the fork, shifters and/or brake > levers, handlebars and tires. If you don't want to bond stuff on there, maybe make a mold to cast a plastic shell. You can find purpose-made lights but I didn’t want to deal with wiring them to the battery. We don't get too much rain in my town, so I felt safe mounting it on the downtube.

Take it easy on the sandy turns.

Definitely test how the ring fits before tightening any bolts. The first one I used a front wheel motor. There are several comprehensive lock reviews online, but the general rule of thumb is to lock up with 10% of the cost of the overall bike - if your bike is worth $1500 to you, then buy $150-worth of quality locks. From the bike's perspective, it's no different than having someone that can pedal many times faster and with much more power. I’m a huge proponent of riding while lit up like a Christmas tree.

It’s ok but the peddle assist sensor doesn’t fit with an ISIS crank set. Undoubtedly there are lots of ways to effectively add material to carbon (or aluminium) forks to spread the load.

Luna Cycle really has high-quality e-bike kits - I think the slight premium over AliExpress/Ebay is worth it. ", let me point you at a quick primer on electric bike conversions, and the difference in motor types. It has pedals, a handle bar, a seat and two wheels! The speed sensor isn't strictly required for the motor to work, but it does enable the speedometer readout on the controller screen.

Cheers Ron.

so dont even try until i can afford a better bike or to make a car like payment for a true mtb. Luna Cycle sells batteries that can be used with multiple brands of motors, so the connector the battery comes with probably won't match the connectors on the Bafang motor (red circle, third picture). See below for videos for the general repair skills you should have as a baseline: If any of the above look particularly daunting, you may want to reconsider converting your road bike.

"Narrow-wide" chainrings are usually recommended for single-ring setups, since they hold on better by virtue of the teeth matching the chain spacing (as in the picture above). Again, the riders skills and smarts is the most important factor. My approach has been to use 3D printed sleeves to spread the load of torque arms fitted to both forks. Yes, you are right of course about 'suggestions' of materials that could be a problem. There are two models to consider: When it comes to batteries, you're looking at 36v, 48v, or 52v - all things being equal, a higher-voltage battery will be larger and heavier but last longer. Never say never. Off-brand versions are available on Amazon if the retail Shimano/SRAM prices are too much to stomach.
