    Hear what you’re saying about not reviewing any other kits, but would be interested for you to compare this kit with the Swytch ones. Front hub motor vs rear with Boost, also uses cadence sensor.

    There are so many dodgy e bikes out there. I live close to a 161K rail trail. A walking and cycling trail on the old railway. It is mega popular with e bikers. Accommodation along the route has started catering for charging the bikes. Big problem. Fires. The charging stations are now well away from the accomodation for this reason. Good to see a British company making a more affordable option. With built in safety systems. And getting you to do a review with an electrical background. Plus extensive knowledge of e bikes certainly can't hurt. I hope this company goes from strength to strength. Because I don't think e bikes are going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Their popularity continues to grow.

    The problem is the rest of the bike has to have components up to the standard of the stresses of a ebike. Cant stick this on an Apollo and expect durability or longevity. Just trade up and buy an ebike or keep the pedal bike for when your ebike catches fire.

      You must be one of those evrything must be perfect rocket scientist guy. It's a bicycle, People used to go to forrest rides with 30 year old mountain bikes. Most bikes are up to standards and I would be nore concerened about am actual battery explosion than the bike not being up to standard.

      @@teeborg1519 nope I wish, nothing is over engineered these days like things were 30 years ago. Things are made with planned obsolescence or poor quality to just a standard that shareholders are happy with. You won't stick a Ferrari engine in a rover would you? everything has a technical limit of usage. It's just common sense but you're welcome to do whatever pleases you, thats the great thing about choice.

      @Kit-and-Stoma-Bob 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah totally agree on this. Amazed when people are saying you can get a decent e-bike for less than this kit… but there’s no concept of componentry , serviceability, longevity, etc.
      I’m really intrigued by the Boost… I have a reasonable pedal bike, and there’s plenty of decent brands releasing e-bikes with very similar kit. As they’re mostly rear hub motors for weight, it seems like the drive train components used are the standard SRAM or Shimano versions, compared to the 3-bike specific stuff that might be on a heavier weight crank motored full susser.
