Two questions regarding the keyde, which seems interesting due to "hiding" the controller:

1. I recall a few months ago somebody (maybe d8veh?) said the keyde motors were interesting, but still had some rough corners. Is it still the same right now?
2. The ad says "The motor is supplied without spokes and rim." Does this mean this motor can be fitted to my MTB's wheel easily?

1. Based on one example of a rear motor that a friend tested and hearsay from a German guy that fitted some to his bikes, but that was nearly a year ago. Keyde may have sorted all the problems. If you buy direct from Keyde, the motors are covered by three years warranty, but I don't know the practicalities of how that works

2. Yes, you just have to get the number of holes in the motor and rim to match.

Jerrysimon fitted a front version to one of his Bromptons, and I don't think he had any problems. I think they only work with pedal assist. There is a throttle option, but it only works with pedalling.
