What conversion to choose???

He is way past fanatical.....he is full blown iron man 100 miles every sunday....but i rekon if i can do a 50 mile 'short ride' at a good pace then it wont be as painful for him to go out with me! lol

I doubt that iron man can keep up with a derestricted 500W BBS02 crank drive kit and 15AH bottle battery. Downhill yes, but not up hills.

Bit personal D8veh...we only just met! lol......it is the crossbar version 2014 model...is it enough to say that I am 5ft 9 and above average weight??? or do you need specifics?? :

Weight is very important when deciding which motor to get. If you don't say what it is, I can't advise you.

Lets start the ball rolling 38-28-36 , inchs are better for these.
For batteries look also lookat Eclipse.

If you want to keep up then a recumbent can draft him but no advantage to him after you. Fit it with an electric kit then you might be able to hold on to his pace?

And the size weight questions from D8veh is a serious one. It's to do with power requirements as a 16 stone man needs a lot more power than a 6 stone one.

Hi L888,

Just to let you know that with an eZee kit you have the option of a front rear motor wheel and a down tube or rear rack mounted battery.
