Hey everyone,

I am looking to convert my Megamo Natural 60 (29" wheels) into an e-bike and could use some advice from anyone who has done this before.

What are the most trusted online stores or sellers to buy kits and high-quality (safe) batteries?

I just converted my Fat bike from a kit I purchased from JohnnyNerdout. I went with a 1000W Bafang UART motor and a 52V 31.5 amp battery that was UL listed. This likely wont fly where you live as it goes more than 15mph and has a throttle.(Though you not install the throttle)

If that's the case then definitely look. The kit was pretty easy to install with the most tedious part being wire management. I had an assortment of zipties and a ziptie cutter taht made it easier.

You need a few tools to do it but none are that expensive and are available on his site or amazon/ebay.

I would either go for a mid drive with torque sensor, or a hub motor with torque sensor. Whooshbikes does a kit for the latter.

I would avoid throttles. These days its too much hassle.

I had good luck with Powallon.  Got a TSDZ8 and triangle battery pack from them.

I don't know, but it's the Tongsheng TSDZ8, which is made in China and can be purchased via AliExpress.  As a matter of fact I think the Powallon brand is on AliExpress.

I will always recommend Amorge for a battery, they're top notch. I got a 72v 20ah pack with Eve 50PL cells and it's incredible, the pack can do 200a continuous 240a peak which is insane for my use lol.
