Yeah, you’re probably right. But this is gonna be a crazy beach bike kinda. But if the knobbies drive me nuts then I’ll do exactly as you said.
I just bought my wife an Aventon Aventure with fat tires so she can handle the beach. She is not that stable on a bike (just not enough experience riding) and keeps busting her butt on the beach with the e-bike she has now with 2.15” wide tires. That’s what prompted me to get 2 bikes for the beach. So now we have 5 e-bikes.
The fat e-bike I just purchased new is a Wallke F2 and I stripped it down to the frame the day it was delivered. I’m rebuilding it with a Nuvinci 171b rear CVT hub and a Bafang BBSHD. Then I’m gonna sell the complete 500watt hub system to offset the build cost.
The BBSHD kit will be here in 3 days. My only challenge will be chain line because I had to narrow up the rear dropouts from 197mm wide to 145mm wide.
I pretty much was born on bikes and ridden forever. I got my 3 daughters into cycling; one is pretty crazy like me. and finally my wife is riding with me once I got her on an e-bike. We’re doing a 55mile ride together tomorrow.
Im eventually going to convert all my e-bikes to BBSHD and Enviolo Cargo CVT hubs. I have 4 of those CVT hubs in a box. 2 of our everyday bikes will also have Enviolo’s electronic Automatiq Shifting systems.
I’ll post builds on the appropriate forum thread as I build them.
