Got any special tips or suggested guides on building an ebike diy??

I'm still building it, but be prepared to buy a lot of tools and parts if you don't have experience already. I'm waiting on some electrical connectors to connect the controller and battery, and I had to get a metal file to file down the front dropout because it was ever so slightly too small to fit the motor on.

Idk who tf is downvoting you for this, lemmy is weird as hell sometimes. Sounds like a fun project! How long has it been taking you?

it reads 5/0 up/down on my end.
it's been fun. I've been working on the conversion since late last month. my work schedule sucks so I don't have that much time to spend on it day-to-day. a lot of the time's also spend working, finding out I need a part/tool I don't have, waiting for delivery, getting another because this one I got is the wrong size, etc. which introduces tedium. if I'm lucky it'll be complete soon.

Cars are essential where I’m from, an e bike will get you killed. But good for you

Difficult to realize. I’m from the Netherlands… one of the most bike friendly countries in the world. Even here that won’t happen.

Sorry you live in a shithole

Pretty sure I couldn’t get it any better in terms of country.
