Convinced jaja! I'm placing an order today. It seems really simple and the price is super accessible! You can chat and ask all the questions you want. They respond relatively fast Thanks again!

Thanks man! Yes, this looks really user friendly! Did you contacted them? I may have a few questions regarding the battery and motor so I can explore further. Cheers

I see.... I found another one check this out, have you heard of this project: https://www.unlimitedev.com/ebike According to what they say in Indiegogo, Ill have to wait but it may be worth it? It seems simple. Im also, researching at separate controllers and batteries in this site from Canada: https://www.ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-kits/bafang-g310-311/front-g311-kit-advanced-pas-custom-build.html Cheers,

I have a 28 - 622 wheel and even though I think a rear motor is better for a lot of reasons, I want a light front hub. This is for commuting in my old Peugeot and mainly to have a push in the uphills so... I understand the benefit of Buying Bafang and separate components. But I was researching yesterday https://www.swytchbike.com/ and it doesn't seem that bad. It is just I don't have the time to commit to a full project and I don't want to do mediocre things. I wanted a plug and play solution. Also, Im not in an extra hurry. My only concern aside from not being available right now is that magnetic pedal sensor. It seems very vulnerable to malfunction due to dirt and other stuff. Really thank you guys, Im learning a lot with these answers. You answer and I go and research and learn more jajaja Great Forum!

So you think it is better to get separate components and ask for some service to help me install it? My bike is super light, it is an old school Peugeot bike that I love!

Hi All! re-posting this because I used the Electric Bikes forum and its not ideal. I really appreciate your help! I wanted to try one a conversion kit but It seems they are not that popular. At least for me, I don't spend a lot of time in front of the computer. All I'm getting from a Google search is DIY kits with big batteries and a lot of cables, In Aliexpress there a lot of them! They are really cheap so Im tempted! Have anyone tried one of those? I was looking for a very lightweight front hub motor. If it is Pedelec, I don't need the battery to be that big. My commute is mostly flat so.... I found this one too: https://www.swytchbike.com/ but is a pre-order which is not ideal. Has anyone had experience with this one? [mention=19726]sjpt[/mention] kindly suggested this: "Look at Yosepower https://yosepower.com/ or Woosh https://wooshbikes.co.uk/ for kits. A lot of the cheap kits have direct drive motors that are heavy, inefficient, real batter chewers, not that good at climbing hills, and almost always illegal to use without license, insurance, etc. If you look at the threads here you will see many have been tempted by the cheapness and the apparent high power and then regretted it." Thank you

Those 2 you have sent me had a nice price! but it seems they are a lot like what I was already looking at in Aliexpress. I have found this one https://www.swytchbike.com/ but is a pre-order which is not ideal. Have anyone had experience with this one? I wrote to them with some questions regarding the battery range and installation, but from the webpage is very straight forward.

Build your own, if you are starting something new I think is best if you go all the way to take the learning opportunity!

Thanks a lot! This is helpfull. Yes, I was looking for a front hub motor very lightweight. If it is Pedelec, I don't need the battery to be that big. My commute is mostly flat so.... I will take a look at those brands. Cheers!

Hi All! I was wondering if anyone is familiar with conversion kits? I wanted to try one of them but It seems they are not that popular. All I'm getting from a Google search is DIY kits with big batteries and a lot of cables. But they are really cheap so Im tempted! Have anyone tried one of those? Thank you
