Hey guys, as you may have seen from the post title, im new to the whole experience, and am in desperate need of some pointers in the right direction. So i have a few questions:

but before that here are some things you need to know about me

I live in the country, long open mountainous roads.
I have a budget of 300 - 500 dollars. =/ I know....

ok questions:

1. I was wondering about this ebike conversion kit, what do you think:

2. Do you think this motor could take me 5 miles in around, 15 minuets (mild hills, smooth pavement, im 140 pounds)

3. If it cannot, what do you recommend?

4. I want to go at somewhere around 27 - 40 mph, could this kit take me there?

5. What do variations in watts, and volts do when talking about performance.

6. Is there any way i could get a similar kit (48 volts, 1000 watts) for cheaper (like buying the parts separately)

7. If you recommend i buy the parts separately....how would i know they are compatible with each other, and where could i find them (on the internet).

8. Do you recommend any batteries (not Lifepo4 too expensive), or motors?

9. What exactly is the purpose of the "controller".


thank u so much for reading...and if u do...replying...it really clears things up for me
