How to convert your bike to electric?

Converting a regular bicycle to an electric bike can be achieved in several ways, depending on your budget and preferences. One option is to purchase a conversion kit that includes a motor, battery, and controller, which can be installed on your existing bike frame. These kits generally offer either a pedal-assist or throttle-based system, and come in various sizes and power options. Another option is to purchase a pre-built electric wheel that can replace the regular wheel on your bike. This option is less complex to install, but usually only provides a throttle-based system. It is important to note that the conversion process may vary depending on the type of bike you have and the specific conversion kit or wheel you choose. It is also recommended to have the conversion done by a professional if you are not comfortable with the installation process.
