Hi all, I'm a complete ebike newbie. I bought a S3L Brompton earlier this year for communiting on, and it's great, only problem is the gears are too high and I'm struggling with the hills going home, so I'm looking to fit an electric kit to it and would really appreciate some recommendations from you guys.

So far, I'm found the Nano2, the Panda, and the Grin Tech. Am I right in thinking the first two require the fork to be widened to fit? And the Grin doesn't?

What other kits can you recommend? It's been a very long time since I last took a bike apart, so I hope I can fit a kit myself, but I'm not keen on modding the fork.

I live just outside Manchester and noticed a shop in Warrington "Wimbikes" is a dealer for the Grin Tech kit, but they're nowhere to be found on the internet, are they still trading?

Thanks
Ray
