Following some very good advice from member here I've just finished fitting my 500w 36v kit which arrived from Hong Kong over the past couple of days (thanks DHL for turning a simple 2 box delivery into a farce!).
After nipping out to my local JE James for a crank puller and other bits and bobs I was able to fit it with no issues at all. The kit really did contain everything I needed to fit it with possibly the exception of cable ties.
The 15aH battery supplied with the kit fitted my frame nicely and it all works brilliantly. I had time for a very quick ride last night which was only a couple of miles, but even at 21st the kit made it an utter breeze, including up a decent gradient hill. I'm very much looking forward to commuting on it next week!
I bought this kit:

I'd have preferred to have ordered from Whoosh, but they had no CD kits in stock so I was forced to head to Asia. I ordered on the 20th of august and it theoretically would have arrived on September the 3rd had DHL not cocked up.
The seller communicated well with me over despatch times and customs charges.
So far a very positive entry into the world of electric bikes!
