Good morning. After being a commuter for several years, I want to build my first low budget, decent performance e-bike. This will be used on my 32 mi round trip to work and back, a couple days a week, when I don't have time to use my normal commuter bike (Spec Secteur).

For the bike, I have my eye on a CL hard tail mt bike, 26in tires, chrome-molly frame. Basic and sturdy, like this Dorado Sherpa. Dorado 'Sherpa' 18 speed bike

For a good balance between cost and decent power, I am looking at this front wheel hub, 1000 watts, 48v, 25ah motor on Amazon. See here => http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Motori...ct_top?ie=UTF8 . I've done a fair amount of reading here and on the other e-bike site and don't see any comments on this particular unit, although the reviews on Amazon appear quite good, and the price seems reasonable.

I know I have to spend some more $$ on decent batteries, but what do you all think of this basic setup? I'm pretty set on a front hub unit and think the 1000 w will give me some nice speed.

Thoughts?
