June 9, 20205 yr 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
June 9, 20205 yr 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.

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!

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.
