Thank you again for your help. I dont have any hills in my part of the country so they wont be an issue for me, gentle inclines and head winds are the most I have to deal with. I can well see how one could get very involved in the whole pedelec scene but for the moment I'll be content with just a bog standard kit I think.

Thank you, that sounds just like the sort of thing I'm after.

Oh dear that does sound worryingly complicated, I'm afraid I bunked off school on the day we did sums. All I wanted was just to pootle along at a sedate speed without having to put a lot of strain on my poor knees.

Thank you for your help. My Saracen doesnt have disk brakes but I'm not a speed freak, all I'm after is going at the same speed I used to peddle at before my knees were done. As for a conventional bottom bracket I'm not sure I'd know one if I saw it. But the down tube has got screws along it so I guess the battery would fit ok.

Thank you, yes you're right, I'm not about speed just something that will get me out and about with ease. Thank you for the link I'll check it out.

Hello folks. I've just had my second whole knee transplant and it's got to be time to get an electric bike, my knees click like a Castonet band. I'm considering putting a Yosi Power back wheel unit into my old Saracen Vantage bike. My question is this, my bike has quick release wheels, is it just as simple as as removing that wheel and dropping the new one in or is there more to it than that? Many thanks
