I have a 2018 Giant Lafree. It's great, but there are times where I'm feeling really lazy and don't want to pedal at all. I've read there's no way to add a throttle to it, so I'm thinking I could add a front hub motor with its own battery, throttle, and controller rather than buy an entirely new bike.
It has 26" wheels and disc brakes.
Max speed I'd really need is 20 mph, but if it could do 25, that'd be cool.
I mostly bike on relatively flat trails, and I'd always have the mid drive for hill climbing.
Would it be difficult to get an off-the-shelf hub motor like the Bafang one to fit the bike?
Is this a terrible idea?
