If you're happy to order from the manufacturer in China, you'll get many kits for less than that. eg Tongxin or Suzhou Bafang. Not checked prices recently but a few months ago they were both £100 (delivered to UK).do you know the kit nine continent? do you have any experience with it? or is it not sold in UK? it seems to be the cheapest on the market (200 euros?) is any kit as cheap as that in UK?
thank you
Tongxin's Diana recently said that contact must be to the UK agents, not direct. Not much help since the UK agent Tony Castles is almost impossible to reliably contact, rarely answering a mail or phone call. Anyway, here's the site:If someone has working contact details for getting Suzhou Bafang or Tongxin motors and accessories direct from China I'd love to hear about them.

You may find buying either from the USA easier, and the exchange rate is favourable. Try here:
Ebikes.ca
.
I'm not sure if you can get a Tongxin from there, but ebikes.ca know more than most and the Tongxin has definitely been widely sold in the USA before it came to Britain. If no luck, try New York company:Thanks Flecc, I didn't know I could get a Tongxin motor from the US. I may try that, have you any idea if my controller (currently driving a Suzhou Bafang) will work with the Tongzin or do I need a specific one?
I believe ebikes.ca stopped getting them after their first order and I don't think anyone else in North America stocks them any more.I'm not sure if you can get a Tongxin from there, but ebikes.ca know more than most and the Tongxin has definitely been widely sold in the USA before it came to Britain.
