I have just recently found this forum again and read lots of comments - there is certainly lots of cyclist knowledge on this forum. I have a Koga bike with 14 hub gears and a belt drive, which I used in 2015 to cycle from Budapest to home - about 1450 miles. I now have painful knees (age 68) and am looking to buy an electric bike or to convert my bike. I have been doing quite a bit of research but need help on various issues so will start a few discussions - I hope that the forum does not mind.
I have looked at the Cyclotricity conversion kit
https://www.cyclotricity.com/uk/custom/mix-match-your-own-conversion-kit.html
It looks to be very good, and I would probably buy the best battery. However I have been told that the PAS will not fit on my bike as it does not have a square taper type bottom bracket. If my Koga bike was a normal bike then I could probably change the bottom bracket but the Koga bike has a belt drive so I doubt that I could. Cyclotricity have said that I could get a PAS from another company but do not know of one. I have attacked a photograph of the bottom bracket.
I have two other bikes that don't have square taper bottom brackets.
Can anyone give me advice?
Thankyou
