As I said the kits look good and maybe the special bits-and-bobs make it worth it. Unfortunately, living in a very hilly area I wouldn't look at anything less than 36 volts, which means only the highest costing one will do.

£250 puts it within the realms of a possibility. For the moment I'm happy to hold off and watch the market.
