Electric Bicycle Conversion Kit Installation - Made Simple (How to Design, Choose, Install and Use an E-Bike Kit) Paperback – March 1, 2011

This book is really worthless. I had to fast forward to the last few chapters before the author got down to anything specific. You will be better off reading reviews , and customer questions on Amazon e-bike kits. Fortunately I didn’t buy this book since I used kindle unlimited.

Very informative! Lots to considered in choosing the right bike and kit. A must read before just jump in. Enjoy!

The first half of this book is about how green the author is or isn't. The second half is useful to anticipate issues in an electric bike conversion. Missing were two issues of concern: 1) Is an aluminum fork strong enough for the front hub motor? and 2) since most will start out with the lower cost, but heavier lead-acid battery, what are the factors involved in switching to Lithium? There are many lithium sources on the internet, it would be good to get an appraisal of them....

If your thinking of building a bike using SLA batteries, then this is a useful read. It will give you an idea what your in for in how the bike handles etc. Other then that there's not much here. The author quotes the much more useful "Build your own electric bike" by Matthew Slinn. That's the book to get.

Author spent a total of 7 out of 150 pages talking in general about installing a kit and even that was not useful. Rest of the book is ramblings about bikes and childhood. nothing on design or detailed installation. I normally read the reviews, but didn't this time and paid the price. Book is going back.

The author seemed to bang on about the environment then as an after-thought put in the information that relates to the title. There are much better books around on this topic.e.g. Matthew Slinn's "Build Your Own Electric Bicycle".

brand new and sealed in the box

I read this hoping to get more Ideas for cost effectiveness.,No not here .Tips on the best kits that lasted the longest, Not Here. Easy step by step or short cuts,Not Here. Wrapping your self in ECO flags , Yes. Health benefits, Yes. Usable information that you can only get with this book, No. I hope that It helps someone less knowledgable than me, While it was a quick read It did put a fire in my belly to build my commuter tricycle.

Sert pas a grand chose

This book was absolutely useless, I understood from the blurb that it would be of help technically, it was useless !If I needed help to fit the carry baskets on, great, but as a help to sort out an actual ebike it was just money wasted.Don't bother with this if you need help with building or understanding ebikes .

Not a good book

Superb

Very good and useful
