The E-bikekit.com rear hub-motor wheel with 6 speed cassette and controller combined with a Ping 48v 20ah LiFePo4 battery and charger is what I'm thinking of using to electrify a bike. This set up will cost me over $1,000.00, but seems to have pretty much what I want/need in an e-bike to ride around town, run errands, and pick up groceries with a trailer from time to time. I hope to mount the battery in the frame, but I will need a wider crank set than stock to clear it.
If I'm reading the data correctly I should get about 25mph and 25+ miles on a charge. My usual route is fairly flat, but includes a couple of short gradual hills and one very short but very steep hill. I will pedal assist at starting from a stop and up the hills, but will be running on battery most of the time. I am completely ignorant of electric powered vehicles, batteries, controllers, and such, so I would really appreciate any help before I drop well over a grand on an e-bike. If anyone has experience with a similar set up or an opinion about it, please let me know if this seems like a good e-bike set up to you.
