My existing Thorn with Rolhof hub gear can only be converted with a front hub motor, if i convert if with a legal Woosh kit , largest battery & get it fitted it will cost nearly £700. Cube is approximately double this cost.
Advantages / Disadvantages
Conversion:
Keep existing bikes which were built for us with high spec parts
Still looks like a bicycle
Rim brakes
Cube
2 Year Warranty
Local dealership
Disc brakes
Better performance?
Can purchase ladies frame ( could be an advantage as we are both over seventy, but not a problem at present)
The heart would prefer to convert, the brain is suggesting the Cube. I need to buy two bikes so it is not an insignificant decision. It is also difficult to get information as to how the two options performance compares. Hill climbing is especially relevant would this front hub provide adequate power or is there another legal front hub that would? It would be nice to cycle in the lake district again which we last did three years ago, all though we did walk one or two passes.
