Hi everyone!

I’m excited to join this awesome e-bike community. I’ve been a casual cyclist for years, but just recently took the plunge into the world of electric bikes — and I’m already hooked!

I converted my regular bike using a kit from KirbEbike, and honestly, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I went with their EZ Rider front hub kit (perfect for city riding), and I was surprised how easy it was to install — took about 25 minutes and didn’t need any special tools. The power boost makes hills and commuting way more fun!

What I liked most was that KirbEbike offers kits for almost every kind of bike — from basic 250W city setups to high-power off-road beasts. They also have a pretty helpful support team and YouTube tutorials that made everything smoother.

I’d love to connect with others who’ve done their own conversions or are thinking about it. Let’s swap tips, rides, and ideas!

Cheers,

Welcome. What about showing some photos of your bike?

Interesting. It looks like the kit you chose is the only street legal one they have. What made you choose KirbEbike over the more established conversion kits such as Woosh or Yose? It seems to be a little more expensive at well over £500 with a small capacity battery.

Second thread like this in recent times. Sounds like advertising to me.
