Vince , having the suspension both wheels requires some thought . I added a front basket to my wifes bike that has front suspension . I bought a basket with 2 supports to hang over the handlebars and using large /strong plastic ties I connected the bottom of the basket to the top of each fork tying them through the caged section holding it very secure . This enabled the front fork suspension not to interfere with the basket position , and allowing the weight of shopping groceries to hang without getting in the way .

Rick, I checked a couple of rear hub motor, rear battery (Pedego, Currie) bikes, and found the weight distribution disturbing; accordingly, I purchased a front motor, mid battery conversion and found it excellent in pedal mode (yours, at least has a front motor to offset the weight somewhat. The new consideration is that I'd like to have a 30 mph bike.

2old , I personally like the front motors as well . The polaris vector , which I like for appearances has a 250w motor but the 36v 10ah battery doesn't really do it much justice I think . I had a look in at the pedego,currie bikes as well , and like you I wanted a faster bike I can give some throttle and pedal just to save on battery power for extra distance when I feel like it . I didn't want to spend the $2500 + for something im not sure im going to be happy with after ive spent the money . My consideration is a comfortable ride , then the 30mph speed , the gearing and sprockets being capable of keeping up with the motor , and a battery that will give me the distance I want . Did you purchase the pedego front motor & mid battery conversion ?
