Hey guys,

I recently acquired this bike for my wife. It fits her well enough, and she's been riding it a bit on the trainer. She wants to ride roads with me but has a knee issue that gives her lots of trouble on hills. I want a motorpacing companion. We just talked about getting a scooter but she would prefer some fitness and exercise from pedal assist.

This bike is 700c. My wife is over 200 pounds. She wants to be able to spin out 50 watts and keep up with me while I put out about 175 watts or 250 on hills for 20-30 miles. I'm a capable mechanic and would like to do an ebike conversion.

So much dodgy looking stuff out there, and it's hard to decide what to get. 700c complicates the wheel mounted and it seems like the mid mounts are better.

Any advice.
