I have had a bad experience with the e- bike kit. paid $1,000. The kit was wired wrong. The long distance communication was a nightmare with the seller telling me that I was wiring it wrong. I finally found a local guy who told me that one of the cables was wired wrong. I got it all fixed and I payed the local guy some cash. Then the rim developed some cracks. I contacted the company and they told me that I should get it fixed. No mention of refund, no mention of replacement. I only rode the thing for 3 months.
I will go back to pedaling and am considering getting a moped for the long distance commutes...
I have a lifepo battery and now it is a piece of junk....
All I will say is buyer beware...
