r/EbikeBuildandModify is a subreddit with 2k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses help, ebike, motor, battery, and speed.
This is a community for new and experienced ebike enthusiasts.
The primary difference between this and other groups is that this one is to help people decide, design, fix and improve their ebike.
Most of the discussion will involve ebikes that can be built for under $1000, as there are plenty that can be purchased for double that amount, but have half of the power and battery life of custom built bikes.
Thanks for checking us out. There's another great reddit called ebikes. Check them out too!
