why is it so hard to find 28 rear wheel with hub motor which is legal on road

[jsisidore]

I had my eyes on bbs02 which costs more than a semi-decent ebike on ebay, not quite a good deal if you ask me.

Front hubs are not good with alloy and carbon which I've got on my bikes... All rear hubs seem to be ugly 26'' above 500w

I'm weirded out... hopefully spring will show more reason and enthusiasm from the manufacturers.

Try looking a bit further than ebay, this is a great rear hub kit used by quite a few members here

take a look at the XF08C kit which I would recommend for CF bikes.

The XF08C is lightweight and has good torque for hill climbing.

Here are a couple of examples that I did earlier this year:

Hey that's a good deal! Silver spokes could've been black though. 350W is above legal limit but then who's going to know right?

The price of this kit is almost that of a refurb gtech which has a cleaner look. Maybe overkill for my needs.

Great kit, I have the 26" version for a recent MTB conversion. Thinking of buying this 700c kit version for a sleek speedy commuter project with a new Boardman frame and carbon forks I have boxed up. Can double up on the battery too for both bikes
