It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I think you overestimate the skill required to create a home made ebike.

Idk, i tried to convert my bike last year and shredded the front dropouts.

I just went ahead and bought a prebuilt after that, as well as replacing the fork on my "analog" bike

Not sure what you do though, they did sell those conversion kit that came with the wheel, just have to install the tyre and tube and plug in all those gadget to the controller to get it running.
