wow guys, I just e mailed tham and asked the question....when? Looks like I might have quite a wait. I'm close to buying a Keyde as its so light and looks like it will do what I want BUT there are some reliability and quality concerns. Its a risk.

thanks..Can you suggest any crank drives that are as light as poss to start with. I'll go hunting. Quite close to buying a Keyde as its so light and looks like it will do what I want BUT there are some reliability and quality concerns.

Hi D8ve, Are you being serious? I was attempting only to introduce myself and I happen to like the song "I heard it through the Grapevine" hence the title of my post. So to make it crystal clear.....(I heard it through the Grapevine) that this is a good resource...so here I am, (in this good resource) hunting for info. (information...the information I require) - its a bit specific, so i'll post (on the forums) ..I have now done that. All the best Tom

Hello I'm about to buy a kit and here asking those of you (all of you) who know far more than I. My two most important requirements are low weight and an assistance that allows pedal cadence to remain as constant as possible when load increases and the motor assists. I would also need a high proportional level of help from the motor as I'm not strong and my cadence is slow. Speed is not important, but torque is. Reliability is too and ideally a geared motor as I won't always use the assistance but don't want to drag a motor around in the hub. So far, i've enquired about Keyde who impress with weight and would offer me rpm of 195rpm. but I've read concerns about their reliability and once I buy the thing and install it, I don't want to do it all again. The motor would be in the rear wheel, fit with a disc brake and a cassette. Any thoughts out there?
