...after many years cycle commuting to work, a change to a worksite further away combined with 13 hr long shifts, has persuaded me to go electric.
I am going to add a front motor to my Genesis Day One 20 Alfine commuter steed and use a pedal assist system rather than a throttle. Question is what size battery? The round commute is 22miles and I will not be able to charge it at work. Would like it to look stealthy and keep the pannier rack free of a battery. Bottle type or frame mount then?
Any comments/tips welcome. I'll post some pics when its done.
