Its all a learning curve and I see what you are saying Nealh. The 1000w rear hub was influenced by watching Youtube videos of folk zipping about. After initial use like this I find I am happy at the 250w level PAS. The other shortcoming apart from weight is being a bit harsh on initial PAS kick in. Saying that I have found it to be very reliable and enjoyable. And the other thing is having never been very keen on bikes It has converted me to a happy two wheel pedelec traveller.

I have this very Hub kit and have had it for 18 months. I first went for an Ebay (built for me) 20ah square battery and put it in a rear mount bike box. Was a heavy brute - great power- 40 miles + on PAS at 250 watt. I disliked the combined hub and battery weight all on the rear as it made everything less stable and even tipped me over a couple of times. So I ended up selling it and going for a fairly cheap (£215) Hailong 13Ah its probably not got Samsung or Panasonic in it however it gives me 35+ miles on one charge and have been using it for 3 months and very happy with it. So much so bought another for my second mid engine build.
