Hi everybody,
I am an American (Alabama) living in China. I live in a rural, mountainous, and beautiful area (depending on the day's pollution). My US employer will not let me have a motorcycle here, but I am allowed to have a bicycle with an engine or an ebike. I have a 500watt e bike that does surprisingly well for the $420 I paid for it new, but it is really limited in range and climbing ability on really steep stuff. I want to get out and explore with good range and without a huge amount of pedaling so I'm looking at the gas engine option. I have a new Giant ucan 2.0 full suspension mountain bike, but I'm looking for a big hardtail frame to swap into to take the engine. I want the SBP shift kit too. I really need help with this. I'm quite handy, but I don't have the means to fabricate anything over here so it all needs to be bolt-on. I'll be posting some questions.
Thanks,
Mark
