Hi all I have Merida 29er Hardtail 36v bottle battery 500w rear hub motor cyclotricity kit for Sale. It's currently on eBay I am open to any offers from anyone or if anyone has any questions. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=191596559443

I got the rear drive kit a couple of months ago and was hot with the same problem of clearance. For me I only needed to bend my brakes bracket abit with a big persuading device (metal bar) and shimed out the disc by putting a washer under each bolt. The disc is not quite central of the calliper and the clearance is minimal but works well for me and 500 miles in not been an issue yet.

Hi it's a 500w motor. Restrictedfor on route use of course. Thanks for the headsup on wheel. I had noticed after I installed. Got a slow puncture so when I sort that will sort the wire.

A couple of years ago I broke both my elbows in a cycling accident after slipping on a oily road on a hybrid commuting to work. Once recovered (well thankfully) I got a 29er Merida on a cycle to work scheme and used it to commute. I wanted something bigger and more sturdy after the accident. My scheme finished a few months ago so I decided to enter back into it again but got a kit in the scheme this time. The 29er was good for commuting but very draining. I thought it was a good way to combat that. Not fully fitted yet as I still need to redo wiring, fit sensors, sort throttle and shifter clearance issues but have been using it for 2 weeks commuting and am well happy with it. Easily gets me to work and back and work again with heavy usage. It's made cycling a realistic option for me, I'm a retail manager and work crazy shifts at crazy times and I know I wouldn't ride home at 3am after a 12 hour shift without it. I have been on here a while reading up on everything I would need to know and I just wanted to share my bike. As mentioned earlier I've still got some small jobs to do but up to now I'm really happy with it. I'm open to any comments, questions or feedback anyone has.

Where did you get your 8fun kit from? Been looking into them myself? Is the kit still meeting your expectations?

Hi Guys I have been lurking around the site for some time trying to decide on what setup to purchase for my 10 mile each way commute. Think I have made my mind up now but I would like to actually like to test a 250w hub motor to see how it will perform. I understand it varies from kit to kit and bike to bike. Is there anywhere in the Northwest (Wirral) that I can do this? I'm trying to work out if a 250w hub motor is going to be good enough for what I need. I realise that's it's not going to propel me up steep inclines but would be good to know what assistance it will give me and how sweaty I will be when I get to work. Many thanks in advance. Adam
