For the past 1100 miles it's been a rear hub drive eBike and I've been super happy with it. But I've always wanted to try a mid-drive kit on it so, I've taken it all the way back to a non-electric CT.
Wow -- you've done a lot of work. My CT is from the original model year (2013) and it's still mostly OEM as far as major components go. I take it that you have a single-chainring setup now? I guess if you have any hills that would definitely make it tough to ride acoustically if you don't have a smaller ring in front to shift down to. Of course, not so much of a problem as an e-bike! Keep us posted on how it goes -- i gave some thought to doing that type of conversion a few years ago but ended up just buying a Vado.
