Hello o_O
I'm a 5' girly who has problems with Cornwall's hills!
I'm looking for a suitable conversion kit. My local bike shop (Truro) sells the powabyke conversion, but I think I'd like a pedal assist too. What do you guys suggest?
Thank you :)

I guess it depends on what sort of bike you want to convert but as an oxydrive user I can certainly recommend the CST kit which is on offer at the moment. I'm guessing you are not too heavy so the kit with pedelec plus throttle option would be a good option and is very easy to build onto a bike, as long as you have the correct clearances and mounting options for the battery.
Am guessing you live near the Cornish Alps, the oxydrive kit on my MTB gets me around without issues.

I understand I'll need to pop the battery onto the rear rack ;)
