Hi,
quick intro: I'm 56, male & a keen cyclist. Averaging about 2500 miles/year between 13-16 mph. I'm 72kg, 6' & fairly fit. I bought a 2nd hand road bike this year to complement a 7 year old 'Deore' hybrid. I use the hybrid for shopping & Winter riding.
I'm toying with the idea of a kit for the hybrid, really as a way to lengthen my biking season, motivating me out when it's cold/windy outside. It's not too hilly round here (Essex/Suffolk border), but can be pretty windy. Ok, I've done a bit of homework and I'd like your opinions on:
8Fun Ebike Electric Bike Conversion Kit 36V 250W | eBay
This is really the upper limit of what I'm prepared to spend without some experience of e-bikes. I don't want another bike either, although it'd probably be cheaper to pick up something 2nd hand.
Ok, what do you think? - I'd be really obliged for any/all input
Cheers!
