I'm doing my part!

You have no power here Santa, Thanksgiving has come and gone!
Here is a breakdown of everything I did on my bike.
this is similar to the bottom bracket tool I used. I'm not sure what variety of bottom bracket I had, but this tool fit. Just needed a second person or a ratchet strap to hold the tool on without slipping.
How mechanically inclined are you?
I did a mid drive conversion because of the lower centre of gravity and to not have to move the motor's weight as the tire spins. However, rear wheel seems easier and was fairly cheaper the last time I looked (approx 4 years ago). I believe the rear hub comes preinstalled in the wheel, so you'll need to switch over the tire but that is easy.
It was a fairly easy process, hardest part was removing the bottom bracket with only 1 person (tool would slip, ended up using ratchet straps). Took a couple hours of work but I had everything I needed to do the job.
You'll need:
- battery (likely most expensive part)
- battery mounting hardware (depends on where you put the battery)
- motor
- zap straps to tidy up the cables
- Allen keys
- bottom bracket extraction tool (if you go mid drive)
From what I saw, front drive motors were the least desirable as it alters the bike's handling and feel.
In my neck of the woods the motor was ~$400 and battery ~$800 but I went for a large battery.
Czech out those staches, you do Nazi that style anymore!
Does this mean Smaug was a tax auditor? No wonder nobody liked him.
"Oh laws, he coming." - some birb, probably.
But are you dangerous over short distances?
They absolutely did pick the right one.
D'ye no find these eyes a wee bit dreamy?"
GG ez noobs.
Looks like this kid grew up and is making sciencememes now.
