Thank you d8veh.You can cross off the DAA Hub from Wisper. It's never been available, nor will it ever be available in the UK unless Eddieo decides to sell his. It's difficult for me to recommend, because they're all different, but here's how I see it.
- Oxydrive looks the best and nicely specified.
- Ezee is heavy but strong and better at climbing
- Juicy is cheaper, but doesn't look as good, and no disc brake version
- Alien is similar but takes a disc, but battery rack is ugly. High power and high speed option for which I'd prefer a higher rated battery.
- 8fun is similar to Oxydrive, but doesn't look as nice and not as highly specified.
- Cyclotricity is cheap as a basic kit and lots of battery options. Not sure which motor it has
- Xipi if you want high speed
- BMSBattery/GBK DIY cheap, but you need to do a bit of wiring and checking - can get whatever you want depending on DIY skills
- GNG crank drive is relatively heavy, but has torque and speed for fun. Not sure about long term reliability of primary drive.
- Cyclone has torque and speed, but noisy and mounting system is not secure enough.
Lots of choice now the same as ready-made bikes. Everybody's looking for something different. I think that if you've got a higher spec bike and you want it electrified and you want it to stay looking nice, the Oxydrive kit is a strong contender. It's a shame there's no quick solution for hydraulic brakes.
I spoke with David Miall about it at The NEC bike show. He said that they won't be selling it in the UK, and there'll be no further development on it.
Of course there's probably an over-supply now, just look at the range of choice that Dave has listed above, and that's not even all of them. The British e-bike market is still small, and the kit market will only be a fraction of that.well if that is the case it's a crying shame...
There are dark forces at work in this country about which we know little.
Sorry, I got nixed up again. I thought it was Eddieo asking,but the same applies. Cut the middle out of he magnet disk and glue it to the inner chain-ring. Mount the pedal sensor bracket immediately behind the bearing holder and in front of any spacers. It should then be OK, but:d8veh,
Thanks once again.
I would be using the Oxydrive sensor from that kit, not the Daahub.
My Hollowtech BB is push fit, possibly Shimano BB92:

Is it possible to glue the sensor to a thin plate and then fix the plate to the chainwheel with screws of some sort?
I would like to be able to remove that chainwheel if necessary.
I can see problems trying to fit that magnet ring.

d8veh,If you get this kit, I'll send you a magnet ring cut like mine.
