I had considered a rear wheel kit because as you say it should be better for hills, but I thought a front kit would be easier to install. Since I only want a bit of assistance and still plan on putting in the same effort as usual pedaling (don't want to do less work as its good exercise, just want to go faster) I thought a front kit would be ok just to give me a bit of a push up hill. I know this may sound silly on a cycling forum but while I enjoy riding my bike I don't know much about repairing them outside of the basics so I thought avoiding the gears on the rear wheel would make things easier when installing this kind of kit.
But I suppose I could get a few pointers off a friend and maybe consider a rear kit if its going to be a lot better. Are there any advantages at all to a front kit?
I'm in England yes, I have no idea what is and isn't legal as far as an electric bike, I hadn't consider it. I suppose that's something I should check out, thanks.
