I really want to design and build my own e-bike but too many other projects get in the way. An ideal ebike would have a reverse trike design, you’d sit low, but not too low (a lot of the trike designs you sit dangerously low to where cars can’t see you). Having a digital drive so there is no chain and instead you are essentially just spinning a generator sounds very cool to me. Having a ton of power isn’t that important to me since I have no interest in trying to explain to people that if the ebike is below 750 watts, then it technically is classified as a regular bike and can go anywhere a regular bike is allowed.
