Should I do a conversion or get a prebuilt ebike?
There are two approaches to acquiring an electric bicycle. Either you can start with a regular bike of your choice and install conversion kit for the electric drive, or you can purchase one of the many commercial ebikes that are on the market. When you buy a prebuilt ebike, you get the convenience of having a turn-key product, hopefully with warranty and shop support, and a system (battery, charger, bike, and motor) that is generally well integrated and slick. At the moment though, there is shortage of well-made ebikes that are still in production. There are some good names like the Lashout, Tidalforce, Giant Lafree, Panasonic Folder, Mercedeze and many more that are either discontinued or hard to come by. The bikes that are seen more and more frequently today are Chinese imports designed for the Chinese market. These are usually clunky low end bicycles with hub motor drives, lead acid batteries and plastic paneling. Stylistically they often try to resemble scooters rather than convent
