Hey I'm a 60yr old male just bought boardman mtx 8.8 hybrid 2020 and want to put electric kit on ,which should I use anyone

I'm very happy with the Bbs01b mid drive I fitted to a hybrid.

How heavy are you?
What sort of rides?
What sort of hills?
How fast do you want?
How far do you want to go.

You can fit any kit you want to a bike like that.

I think that anything other than a larger battery could struggle to get the range you're looking for. A Bafang BBS01b kit with a 19.2ah like mine could fit the bill - my only worry is a detailed Police inspection of my C18 controller, which allows modification of the top speed, which is illegal. I've got "Don't arrest me! This is 250W!", stickers all over the place, and a password on the C18. With the Bafangs, batterry upgrades are (theoretically) easier.

Your top speed can be adjusted as you are riding, so as the dibble pull you over...
It's not something to worry about. Just keep it at 15.5mph.
My Bro has a Hailong with a Bosch mid drive, he is waiting for the dealer to fix his control panel.
I just sort Bbs01b out myself, tweak settings with the laptop etc.

Jimriley, is that you on the unicycle and is that your normal commute? Are you tempted to Bafang it?

Yes, no and not possible! Though there are some motorised unicycles, they'd need a segway balancing system. easier is a large monowheel, you and motor sit inside the wheel.
