Does anyone have experience with this French LIFT-MTB kit? Is there anything unique about their version of this common electric motor?
It appears to use a simple brushed United MY1018 type motor placed in a unique mounting bracket with small freewheel sprocket, that attaches to the ISCG frame mounts (great idea). It can be used to put the motor low, in front of and below the down tube or within the frame triangle on certain bikes.
I downloaded, printed and cut out the LIFT-MTB template, then set the current MY1018 into the CS Hightower frame triangle and positioned the template. It looks like an "inside" fit to me. Their site states it has been fit to a CS Nomad.
Their crank shafts come in different sizes to fit your existing setup, plus they offer a Pro version that has a light weight hollow alloy crank shaft. The video below has this entire bike weighing in at 33lbs.without the backpack battery.

And this one shows the simple installation process.

It seems to be what most full suspension MTB riders are looking for, a simple assist going up and the feel of a real MTB coming down (IE: little extra weight).

Anyone have one? What are your impressions? Thx.
