I bought a kit and a custom built battery. A new crank, freewheel 9sp.

What's left are: a shifter, a battery bag and cables for my hydro brakes- I want to use my brakes.
Does anybody use any kit for hydraulic brakes?
What did you go for out of interest ?

I use hydraulic brake sensors on front only

This sensor - which one do you have? Are The connectors any standard ones or does it have to be kit compatible?

Hi
I'm new to e-bikes.

I want to buy a kit for my mtb to use the bike only on-roadas commuter and for longer trips).

My expectations (don't know if they are realistic):

- rear wheel motor
- top speed - about 25-30 miles/h
- range: 40-50 miles per one full charge riding 20 miles/h. I live in a very hilly area Dewsbury/West Yorkshire
- wheel size 26/27.5
- standard 8-10 speed compatible - cassette freehub
- disc brake compatible.

If I buy a kit and a battery from two different suppliers- are they comparable? I mean plugs , wires etc .


I has to be reliable.
I want to buy the kit and the battery from a shop in UK (local - I live in Dewsbury/West Yorkshire or on-line) or on Ebay.
The price? I don't need any high tech stuff, need something that works.

Please link any Ebay or on-line offers if you can.
Thanks.
1st thing I would say to a person that has never built is, battery is the most important and most expensive part....spend what you can on one...Jimmy at insat London is good...he will make one to what ever spec u want at a fair price
