High-Powered Mountain eBike Conversion

I met Paul this past summer as we started talking one day about my Orange eBike Beach Cruiser while he was out on a walk with his dog.

After I explained to him the general process of converting a regular bike into an electric bike for around $450, he was eager to start the project himself. He already had an extra mountain bike that he thought would be a perfect fit for the conversion.

I provided him with some guidance on the parts he needed to order and walked him through the step-by-step process. The most challenging part was selecting the right eHub wheel kit for his 29-inch wheels, but I helped him figure out the best options. He also had some concerns about running the wires and other technical aspects, but I assured him that the process was relatively straightforward.

So after a few days of him getting the parts delivered, he started on it and was pleasantly surprised by how easy the conversion process was, apparently he was able to complete it in just one afternoon.

Because his bike had larger wheels, he opted for the more high-performance 1000w/48V 29" Rear Wheel Kit, which required the installation of a single Torque Arm. The kit was perfect for his needs and provided the bike with a top speed of 30 mph or more on flat terrain, which is incredibly fast for a bicycle.

Since the conversion, Paul has been using the bike for running errands around town and has been thoroughly enjoying it. He told me that he’s happy with the results and loves the speed and power of his electric bike. It’s always exciting to see someone discover the joys of eBiking, and I’m glad that I was able to help him with his conversion process.

Converting a regular bike into an electric bike is a cost-effective and relatively simple process. With the right parts and guidance, anyone can create their own electric bike and experience the benefits of eBiking. Whether you’re looking for a more convenient mode of transportation, or simply want to enjoy the thrill of riding at high speeds, an electric bike is a great investment.
