Strengths:
I put the Currie Kit onto the following bike:
Trek Navigator 100 - 14.5 inch frame - Ladies low step through.
Easy install of the motor and controller. Once installed no need to mess with it again!!
Fantastic on hills even better on the flat
. Great on-demand power.
Modes of power:
Power Only
Pedal and Power
Cycle Only
Ease of use and all weather motor.

Weaknesses:
Probably one weakness some people might find is the noise...I actually don't think its that bad.
The lead acid batteries add a lot of weight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
One of the best buys I've ever made! and not that expensive really.
With me installing it on a small low step through bike, I had to opt for the rack mounted option.
The rack is supplied with the kit so there is room for my panniers as well.
I did have to buy additional parts for the rack, as again, coz of the small frame, I needed to change the seat clamp for one that had "eyelets" on, and find additional extensions for the rack attachment "arms"
Once it was all done, my god was it worth it... I left my husband behind struggling and puffing.
If you have a small bike, don't be put off, invest in one.
As for range, I do probably around 10 miles a day and weekends maybe around 25 miles, not using the motor all the time (I pedal sometimes!)
I havn't really pushed it for range but it does me for what I need.
