My wife wants to have her cheapie MTB converted to eMTB.

It will only be to go for short rides with me and easy trails and gravel and some tar road.

Who does this conversions and pref Cape Town area ?

Thanks

Johan you can also speak to Mark at

Once you have your pricing sorted ... Have a look at the HT models from Darrvin -

Sure, a bit more .... but now you have a new bike with a full warantee and backup.

 

 

For lighter duty .... TITAN, yes this name keeps popping up all over ....

PLEASE NOTE .... when you speak to Chilled Squirrel or Mark, discuss the "mid-drive" va "hub drive" options.  Not just in cost but in terms of practical use ..... A couple of Hubbers have noted the "mid-drive" to be a technically better solution.  Now have another look at the links above, both in terms of price and in terms of drive ....

Thanks gents.

Ja I agree rather buy a bike from new and have back up.

Conversions are expensive.

Johan speak to Louise at Knipe_Racing.

 

They may just have a decent 2nd hand model for you.
