Here are some photos of bikes I have converted to electric. The first one converted was my wife’s Giant Hybrid. An absolutely brilliant kit, she just loves it. The car tends to stay in the garage when she has to duck down the shops as it is just so much less hassle to take the bike and there is never any parking worries.
The second bike I converted was my Giant mountain bike, to which I fitted one of your specials. It transformed the bike and got me back on it after many years of neglect. We often ride a 25 km round trip to get a coffee and for us old retirees it is great exercise without the grunt of the hills on the return trip.
The third bike I converted was a Bauer flat bar road bike. I fitted another geared motor to it as I like the low down torque and quiet manners of it compared to the direct drive motors. It is really light and simple with no gears, I find you don’t really need them with a motor fitted unless you tackle steep hills, which we don’t, and I just love it. I also want to thank you for your support and quality products, as somewhere in the middle I tried to do it on the cheap by importing from china, and after blowing up the battery on the first plug in and rejecting a geared motor with bugger all torque and which complained loudly when put under any stress, I returned to you. There was not a lot of savings to be made in any case, what with bank fees for T/T plus freight etc.
