Hey I’ve got this weird/cool bike (pics) I found and fixed up and want to convert to an ebike for burning man (flat but bumpy terrain).
A guy who does a lot of ebike conversions told me the motor would pop out if I put a motorized front wheel.
Guys at my bike shop also told me the frame might break if subjected to bumps.
I’m willing to take some risks here if it’s a 50/50 chance it breaks. But if it’s a 90% chance I probably wouldn’t take it.
Does anyone have any opinions on this as far as the strength of the bike?
Pics attached.
