Hi everyone,

I can't find any "how to" buttons for newbies looking to "Post" so I hope I am doing this right.

Does anyone have any experience of Cyclotricity ekits please and if so what did they think of them? Thanks.

Les.

Hi Les, welcome aboard!

The Cyclotricity is a good example of an entry level kit. The motor is very quiet and surprisingly powerful. I would however recommend you opt for the 9ah bottle battery, the 7ah seatpost battery sometimes gets a bit nervous of the 15 amps demand of the motor. I would therefore suggest choosing a host machine with bottle cage fixing points. There have been problems with disc brake versions due to disc rotor misalignment with existing calipers, so a host bike with V brakes would be the least problematic during installation of the kit.

Hope this helps
Regards
Bob
