Spread out on my lawn, I connected everything together – controller, brake lever sensors, pedal assist sensor, throttle, 3 position switch, and lastly, the human interface programming display device. In retrospect, make sure you pay attention instead of fiddling with it until it comes apart, so you can put it back together. Since this front hub motor comes integrated into a whole new front wheel, I replaced the front wheel after I figured out how the brakes release.

How hard could this be for an ex-IBM Selectric typewriter technician? But I like to do things the hard way, and wanted to make sure the parts were good and replaceable. There are plenty of already integrated ebikes to choose from, some much cheaper. I received my new ebike conversion kit and after unboxing it, with no documentation included, I knew this project was meant for the cool skateboard type with 20/20 vision. And the bike should still ride like a bike when the motor is not running because it’s only a matter of time that I’ll be stuck out on a dead-end dirt road with an equally dead battery. Visiting friends in neighboring towns, extending access to cool stuff at higher elevations, and stretching out the bike season were on the list. Because of the expense and this perhaps being my last bicycle purchase, I put a lot of thought into what I wanted an electric bike to do for me. Now that I can carry more groceries and goods than my legs can power up these Vermont hills, I looked for an electric motor solution. But a girl still needs to get around, to get to work, to buy groceries, and to socialize.Įarlier this summer, I wrote about Hauling with Elegance – My New Cargo Bike.

Since losing my driver’s license to low vision, the breadth of my playground is usually limited to the power of my legs. The tall grass, leaning barns, and colorful flowering landscape marking different properties remind me of my limited range. While riding as a passenger with my husband, I suddenly perk up and start looking around as we reach the edge of town.
