Hey buddy how are you doing? I you doing well, anyway I have been watching some of your videos into how to convert a bike to Ebike, believe or not I built my first Ebike almost 10 years ago, yep I converted my tandem bike to an Ebike and all I did is replacing the front wheel and stack a group of alarm batteries together to power it and guess what it was not beautiful but it worked, and few years later I did another project on another tandem bike ( because I don’t go anywhere without the wife) this time I replaced the rear wheel and I installed a lithium battery in the back as well, this served me well for the past 5 years or so, the only issues I have with it is that too heavy in the back !! , so I I decided to do a 3rd project where I can mount a mid drive motor and have 2 bottle batteries installed as well, and of course I ran into some challenges, mid drive motor are various and not cheap and they are not designed to be in a tandem bike !!, manufacturers and sellers will not warranty their products if installed on a tandem bike but I don’t care about that because I know I can do this right, so do you have any recommendations on which motor should I install on a tandem bike, I looked at some etandem bikes and most of them are hubmotor motor type and they are really big and ugly, there’s only one mid drive tandem bike made in Europe that is really very expensive, so please give your thoughts on that if you have time, thanks Johnny
