I was going to try and fit an E-flite power 360 + Phoenix Edge 160 I had lying around to my MTB. After pricing it out I decided to go in a different direction as it was not much more expensive for the sick bike kit and it comes with EVERYTHING needed.
Kit Link: http://www.sickbikeparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=181
I am really happy/impressed with Sick Bike Parts so far. They are in the US and shipping was only $14 and the kit was at my door in 2 business days. They were also very responsive to a few questions i had.
The build was pretty straightforward and I had the kit installed in a day once I had all the right tools. Successfully completed a bench test today, everything seems to work properly. If anyone has any questions about this kit or needs a measurement or something I will do my best to accommodate.
After I get the wiring cleaned up a bit I will post some more pics.
And of course I will report back with my thoughts on how the kit performs soon.
Some initial thoughts....
-I really like the planetary gear reduction built into the motor!
-Full use of rear gears/derailleur
-I also really like the freewheel setup, you can pedal power with little/no resistance, power it completely from the motor, or power it hybrid style with combined pedaling/motor.
Quick pic, more to come!
