Where about would sell geared hub motor kits then? I don't really have huge hills around where I live and I don't really mind a bit of effort every now and then to get up one so I don't need some extreme off road hill climbing machine. I will just be on cycle paths/roads/pavements

Cyclotricity do, currently looking at their 500w rear wheel kit, i would go front wheel for less weight and less of a nightmare when it gets a puncture but ive been told front wheel drive is rubbish on the hills

Thank you guys, i checked out woosh but i didnt think they appeared to have any finance options available, can anyone advise whether they offer finance or not?

Hi everyone, ive been semi interested in electric bikes for a while now, i hired one a few days ago (a byocycles 250w 36v folding commuter bike) for a couple hours for a coastal ride and it was great fun. For me the attraction is the exhileration and exercise of cycling combined with the confidence that a bad hill or exhaustion isnt going to ruin your rides. I have a motorbike too so im not interested in building a super fast ebike. Im looking for recommendations for a rear wheel kit, i am fairly big as in tall and broad, so i feel like maybe 48v would be better than 36v, id get either a 250w or 500w kit, i dont really mind as long as it can do 15-20mph at the highest pedal assist setting. I also had some trouble with hills on the ebike i hired, i had to do a lot of work to get up some of them and the motor sounded like it was straining which is why i feel i might be best with a 48v or 500w motor? In terms of battery anything between 12 and 17 ah would be great, just decent range really. I would be fitting it to a mountain bike and my price range is about £500-600 at the max, i am happy to buy on 0% finance and i have a local bike shop that can help with fitting it Thanks for your help
