This is really great info, thank you! I plan to spend some time looking into this during the upcoming weekend. I’ll get back to you once I’ve done this! Thanks again

Thanks for your responses Nealh & Saneagle! I'm a complete beginner when it comes to E-Bikes, so I'm really trying to gather and absorb as much info as I can in order to make a purchase as quickly as possible (London Public transport is very unreliable on my route!) Could you please help clarify some points for me? -Is topbikekite a reputable online store? Are there any other noteworthy recommendations? Motor: -AKM 128c rear hub -AKM 100cst -Are AKM highly regarded? -What are the main differences between these options? Controller: -KT 22A -KT20A -KT 17A -Are KT highly regarded? -Should I consider what speed these will provide? -I'm concerned about using something that goes beyond the legal UK limit as accidents occur easily and I do not want to be held liable -I'm keen to be able to apply different levels depending on how much assistance I require on each day Battery: -48v: 10ah = 480wh -48v: 12ah = 576wh -Bigger battery? -How many mile approx will these deliver per charge? Other components: -Are there further components that I require? Cost -Approx costing for a setup of this kind (ballpark) Expected Lead Time? -How long in general ordering from China? Setup? -How much time do you believe it will take to install such a setup? -How much experience do I require to complete this? Is it also an option to use the bike without Electric assistance if I fancy a regular ride at the weekends?

What would you recommend in terms of Conversion kits from China? I am proficient in installation so this is certainly an option. Also, what is the benefit of a rear cassette motor over front wheel? Keen to understand more and get this choice right! Thanks

I’m really keen to spend the money on the E-Kit itself to ensure best quality in this area. Space is also a premium here in London and sadly I don’t have anywhere to store another bike.

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks, Will

Hi everyone, I’m seeking recommendations for a suitable electric bike conversion kit for my 2021 Hybrid Specialized Sirrus 2.0. My daily commute is 13 miles each way (26 miles total) through central London, which is relatively flat. I weigh about 70 kg and plan to use the bike year-round for this commute. Since my workplace doesn’t have shower facilities, I prefer a kit that allows the bike to handle a significant portion of the effort to minimize sweating. Here are my key requirements: • Ease of Installation: I would appreciate a kit that is straightforward to install, as I plan to do it myself. • Budget: My budget is up to £1000, but I’d be glad to find a quality option for less. • Power and Range: The kit should comfortably cover the 26-mile daily round trip with enough power to assist with maintaining a steady pace without exerting too much effort. I’ve looked into some of the major brands, but differentiating between them is challenging. Your insights and recommendations on specific kits or features to consider would be incredibly helpful. Additionally, if there are any important considerations I might be overlooking, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your advice!
