Hi I am toying with the idea of converting my Pinnacle Arkose 2 gravel bike to an e-bike. I only use it on the road. I am considering the Yose Power rear wheel coversion kit (250W to keep it legal). the bike will only be used as a run around.
I can work on bikes, and I am a capable cyclist.
I have a couple of questions.
1. The bike is an alloy frame with QR wheels. The motor hub wheel is a threaded axle and the wheel is bolted on. Is this an issue for an alloy frame with QR dropouts? Will the bolts fit between any laywer lips?
2. I assume a 10 speed cassette will work with the hub kit?
3. Is a torque arm required?
4. My bottom bracket is hollowtech, so I know I need a differed PAS sensor.
5. Can I do away with brake sensors? I can not fit these onto Shimano STI levers.
If I go ahead with the conversion, i will post a few photos and thoughts on it.
Thanks
