I bought a rear hub kit from a bike shop, and of course overpaid for the privilege. It has the controller unit inside the downtube battery mount plate thing. Overall a small package. Only 36V/350W, and I find the torque is a bit 'ehh'. When it goes, it goes, but the initial push from stopped leaves much to be desired, even after going into the settings and upping maximum current to 30A.
Need to find a different frame to mount it as I don't like the one I had spare.
Was tempted to find a frame to mount it all up and try sell it to recoup as much money as possible, then buy an ebay billion-watt kit instead. Please report back if you get one.
