This is my Giant Sedona DX. I live near Houston, TX, so relatively flat. I would like to convert this bicycle to a mid drive motor ebike. I will use it for exercising, light trails, maybe 20-30 mile range. I still like to pedal, but when I get tired, especially with the Texas heat, I like to use the bike motor to take me home. I will probably equip it with a bike bag rack in the rear wheel. I weigh around 250 lbs. I'm looking for suggestions as too which motors to look at like the Bafang, Tongsheng or Bosch. There might be some other motors out there that I don't know yet about. I would like to DIY this bike, so will buy the tools that I need for a good build. I'm all ears to suggestions, recommendations, caveats, pitfalls, all sort of information. How much will it cost? I will take my time on this, because I love my bike and want to do it right. I figure with good ebike costing $1500-$2000, I can save some money hopefully $500-$800 range.
