Is converting your own bike into a powerful electric bike with a Power-e-bike kit complicated?<\/p>\n
Since the prices currently offered are among the most attractive on the French market, it is normal to wonder how easy it is to carry out the assembly yourself. Many people have questions before buying a kit and while designing their electric bike. I will try to answer them based on my own experience, keeping the assembly of your future electric bike as simple as possible.<\/p>\n
For more than 3 years, I have owned several Power-e-Bike rh205 kits. I have really tested everything with my 70 km a day, 5 days a week bike-to-work commute, rain or shine. (I will not talk about electric bike batteries, as it would be far too long and Power-e-Bike would owe me far too many gift vouchers to thank me \ud83d\ude09 See instead https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/choix-de-la-batterie-pour-velo-electrique\/<\/a> for more information on choosing the battery.)<\/p>\n It is certain that someone trying to build an electric bike without knowing how to tell the + from the – of their battery, and unable to turn a spanner, risks coming to grief very quickly. Assembly requires common sense, method and a concern for a job well done. I therefore advise you to be meticulous and patient!<\/p>\n Some claim you can convert your own bike into an electric bike in barely 30 minutes. It may be possible, but only if you already have a number of builds under your belt. If you rush, assembly mistakes can pile up and be fatal for your electric bike. So take your time! Sit down quietly, do not rush like a child who has just received their toy (I am speaking from my own experience).<\/p>\n Keep in mind that every bike is different and, depending on the model, the positioning of components and cables differs, just as your bike’s original equipment differs: disc brakes, brake callipers or rim brakes, 26-inch or 28-inch wheel, dropout width… etc. etc…<\/p>\n However, do not worry: in general, the rh205 motor fits without too much difficulty on 95% of consumer bikes.
