I had never heard of a Pedelec until about 7 weeks ago when I stumbled across this site by accident when googling for 'electric bike' after seeing someone riding one. From the information gained mostly from reading posts on this forum, I managed to fit a used 8fun kit to my specialized rockhopper. I found that 7 years ago when I first bought my rockhopper that by getting out of the car and cycling I discovered places I didn't know existed even though they were virtually on my doorstep. As someone who loves cycling but isn't very fit now I think my conversion is brilliant, I just can't beat the freedom cycling gives me and with the added bonus of electricity I can go for miles. I have written an account of the build with photos and will post it on the forum. Many thanks to the members on this forum for their posts which give me the information and inspiration to build a Pedelec.
