I would like to spiffy them up, add an ebike wheel and battery pack (3kg) and get lighter components to compensate for the additional weight. We'd mostly use them to extend our range going around the city.
Two cheaper options:
- For smaller gear inches, install a double chainring (total ~€150); A 50/34T with the original 14T gives 30.1 - 78.8" (261%)
- To haul the bike up the three floors, fold the bike, and carry it with a shoulder strap (Original)
