Hello all,
I'm Neil, friends call me nobby, usually further shortened to nobs (which is fortunate as "nobby" was already taken on this forum!).
I've got a very light use 2015 Scott Scale hardtail which I up-specced when I bought it... But since some early rides has basically sat gathering dust because I underestimated how unfit I'd become since I was last riding regularly. And the Island has a lot of hills.
So, I've been looking at the possibility of electrifying my bike - and (in my usual rash manner) went right ahead yesterday and ordered a 250/1000w rear hub kit from Cyclotricity. My riding intentions are mainly commuting, and the route is 95% off-road, so I reckon the 1000w motor is a great option for potentially unstressed, reliable electric assistance.
I've been following threads here - which as with all forums tend to focus on "issues" with various e-bike solutions - and I'd like to add my experience to the mix as it develops.
