Hi, I posted earlier in the introduce yourself section, I'm looking to convert my Giant hybrid to help me with a 20 mile daily commute from Warrington to Manchester. I really like the sound of a Q128c with a 48v battery as mentioned in a number of other threads, but before I go ahead with any purchases could I have some views and advice please on the following:
I look forward to hearing from you all.

- What are the pros and cons of having the controller separate? I like the sound of the Panasonic 48v 11.6ah battery from BMS that comes with a controller built in – it strikes me as one less set of gubbins to have to mess about with! What's not to like?
- The bike has an octalink BB rather than a square taper, what issues does that raise and how should I deal with them? Am I right in thinking it impacts the PAS setup?
- The bike also has a 9 speed cassette on the back at the moment. From what I've read that should be OK with the Q128c, shouldn't it?
- And finally, it's got hydraulic disc brakes. What's the best way of having a safety cutout with them please? Any suggestions for where to go for the necessary parts?
I look forward to hearing from you all.
