Right, in the last week the idiots in charge of this country have fucked my plans to get an eBullitt on the bike to work scheme with likely increases in mortgage payments, along with the spike in food and energy bills. Right wing extremist morons. Can't believe how big a fuck up they've managed in such a short space of time.
I'll have to abandon it. So I'm now looking again at my previous plan of getting a Bafang or Tongsheng fitted instead. But first I'll need to get rid of the Nexus 7 which has a coaster brake (or do I?) which AFAIK can't function with a motor.
What should I be replacing it with? A Nexus 5 or the XT?
Are there any shops out there that do both jobs, replacing the rear end and installing the motor? (before you ask, no I can't do it myself. Well, not that I couldn't try, but I just don't have the free time)
Thanks for your help, as always.
