Advice needed.

[Brik]

A colleague has asked me to convert his new to him Specialized hybrid bike into an e-bike, I want to build him a road legal and hassle free bike so figured a rear hub motor would be the way to go.
When I built my bike I wanted to purchase from a UK based supplier (Custom Built Ebikes based in Exeter) but looking on their website they only do mid drive kits.
Can anyone recommend a good kit supplied by a company that will be able to offer advice.
Thanks in advance,
Rich.

If it has to be a UK supplier, Woosh would be hard to beat.

Cheers for the replies, looking at the Whoosh web site it says....
Hub kits cannot be fitted to carbon fiber forks and frames with thru-axle bolts.

I know the bike has carbon front forks and an alloy frame.
Are through axles as found on quick release wheels?

I am not certain by just looking at the picture you posted.
At first look, the rear wheel has normal quick release skewer, not a through axle bolt.
You can fit a rear hub kit or a bottom bracket motor kit. We have several rear hub motors in stock. I suggest you call us and talk to Andy (01702 684444 option 2).
