Hi,
I need a bit of advice on which kit to buy, and hope you all don't mind me borrowing your knowledge, please.
I thought I would go ahead and buy the BBS01 from Woosh but have discovered you have to pedal a lot with it. This is a problem for me frequently, I suffer from a difficult to treat knee condition (fat pad tendonitis), and so I need something which will frequently allow me to pedal gently or not at all and still go places quickly, strictly legally (so 250w only), and go up the many hills in my part of North London/Hertfordshire. My bike has 28" wheels, although I imagine I could find a donor bike with 26" wheels if needs be.
I've heard good things on this forum about the 250w Bafang CST kit, because of its torque, but, does it have the pedalling characteristics I need? It says on the page "integrate[d] speed sensor: optional". It's elifebike, are they safe to purchase from? Is it possible to cheaply service the motor in this country if anything goes wrong?
Or should I be looking at Woosh's 250w MXUS XF08C kit (26")? Will that give my knees a break?
Many thanks indeed, Jonathan
