| Bike will be used to commute 2-3 days a week to my job, so I can leave my minivan home. Great kit from Wilderness Energy - price was right, easy to install, and everything worked right the first time. Update: Under the real world conditions I am faced with, the single speed bike is not suitable for this purpose. I will be switching the ebike components over to a multispeed comfort bike soon. | |||||
