Electric Mountain Bike Is it posible to make a mountain bike easily in a regular electric bike? If so, even if it is expensive, how is it done? Thank you You can buy kits, but when you pay for those that it works exactly as expensive as buying an electric bike built for this purpose. Unless you have a passion for building a bike and some knowledge of electrics, I think buying a new bike would be the preferable option. Also, if you live in the United Kingdom and want to remain 100% legal, you have to adapt to the bike with a flange that everything that can go over 15 mph is classified as a motor vehicle and is liable for road tax, etc. If you are not interested in legality, then you can buy a rear wheel with a hub motor and battery, then you just have to wire up some form of switching mechanism. I wired my electric bike with electric light switch that bypasses the flange, which is not ideal but it is very effective. An electric bike must have a motor, controller, throttle, and the battery.
