We have been a specialty electric bike retailer since 2011. We have seen many, many conversion kits come into the workshop. Some seem OK, but the biggest issue with them is that they alter the ride characteristics of their ‘host’ bike. Conventional bikes are not designed to take the stresses that an electric motor can put them through and so sooner or later the converted e-bikes develop wear and tear issues.
Often electric bike conversion kits are sold by online-only agents who cannot provide technical back up. All the electric bikes at Energise E-bikes come from reputable suppliers who can offer technical back up.
