I was looking for a rear hub kit for a 29er bicycle. I wanted the kit to be able to go at least 40mph and the battery HAS to be mounted on the frame of the bike (no rack batteries). I looked for the absolute largest capacity battery that was possible to fit on the frame, looks like water bottle mount was the only way to go. I wanted to the cost to be cheap, and the quality to be decent, basically I was looking for the best bang for the buck.
I narrowed down my choices to the following kits and the following batteries:
Kits:
($662) https://em3ev.com/shop/crystalyte-kit/
- I can't figure out the wheel size... I'm looking for a 29er wheel and I can't figure out how to select that option.
- It doesn't look like this kit offers regenerative breaking like the other kit does.
- Is this kit really worth double the price of the next kit?

Batteries (both 17.5AH) I narrowed down my battery to the panasonic GA from Lunacycle cause they're down the street and their batteries are guaranteed:
