E bike conversion kit.

[trailbear]

Hi Folks

I am thinking about about fitting a conversion kit to my current bike.
I have noted that some are not compatible with hydraulic brakes and I don't want
to convert to cable operated brakes.

Has anyone any knowledge of the Falco Kits, I have looked at them and I think that they would be suitable, bit expensive so I'd like to hear if anyone has an experience of the Falco bikes or the kits themselves!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Although I have heard of them I do not have any personal experience. I imagine others will have though. My advice is to look for at least a two year warranty on the battery if you are spending a lot of cash. We have a new German bike for £1299 with hydraulic brakes so I would aim for a price less than this. There are some nice kits, would see what other people's experience are of kits compare price and spec and go for the kit with the longest warranty. Good luck with the search.

Don't have any experience of Falco kits. Have you considered BMS kits ? They accept a hydraulic brake cut-off switch .. if you use one of these in the hydraulic line and just swap the connector, KU controller takes this in the low voltage brake wire :

BionX Press Switch for Magura brakes | enables motor cut-off even for hydraulic brakes

I fitted one and it works fine.
