Bought a new roadbike today i love it but only 1 problem which it's not fast for my liking what's the best electric conversion kit for roadbikes and has anyone else managed to add a motor to their roadbikes?

For road bike, the lightest weight kit possible. Usuallymena sno more then 2.5 -3 kg total weight.

Revos Friction drive from Evolutionworks in Bristol.
Or one has to source form China a tiny 1.4 -1.6kg hub motor, a small lightweight bottle type battery and a tube controller, though then the build gets a bit less stealthy with the wiring and display.

bbshd over clocked and he has the batt in a back pack.


tho if you want one that is not can bus locked to the bafang batts there are not many left for sale as 615 was the last ones with no can bus so the 625 will need a extrarenal controller now.

Also do you know any budget roadbike hydraulic brakes with gear shifters? Because my roadbike disc brake is mechanical and i don't feel safe breaking its has tension but I really have to brake early just to come to a stop
