Hello, first time posting on this bike forum. Recently turned 61 and am excited that I became a bicycle owner again for the first time in approximately 4 decades. Starting my first ever bicycle build project and signed up to learn about ebikes.

Always good to see new faces diving into the realm of eBikes. I am sure you will face some challenges and learning in your journey, but it should all be worth it in the end. I took the lazy route, and bought one, and then did minor upgrades.

Some challenges indeed, but thankfully I'm a patient person, enjoy learning new things that are interesting and/or can improve my life and this topic checks both boxes. I took the lazy route too and purchased a good solid mid-drive ebike only to learn that I'd purchase the wrong bike for my exact needs. Live and learn. So that great lightly used mid-drive is out the door and time to find a good used donor bike to start this bike project. Decisions, decisions... Luckily, I'm not on a tight deadline but would like to be riding something in the next couple of months.

Thanks JerryB! It's great to be back.
We have great music indeed and I especially like it's musical diversity, too. Great music, great restaurants, a fun city with decent but improving bike infrastructure. We've got approximately 100-ish miles, and growing, of greenways plus many miles of mtb trails in several of our parks.

Thanks Smaug! Glad to be here. Franklin is a cool old city. I spend a fair amount of time there as a black car service operator.
