I think I might add an electric bike to my collection of trusty and
rusty two wheelers. . They look like a bit of fun with a practical
use. Am looking at the Trek sprint 7 or the Wisper 905. Anyone know
much about these things? Or any other brands?

I've been researching this for about a month now and I've found lots
of info, and lots of conversion kits on ebay, but I haven't bit the
bullet yet. I'll probably end up getting a rear wheel hub motor kit,
but my real question is which one to get. 250-1000W? How effective
are the smaller ones? Reviews are hard to find for the ones on ebay.


How do the kits compare with purpose made bikes? Mounting battery looks
tricky. Like you I haven't found too much info.
