E Bike conversions

[Llandudno]

I have a rather lovely Jamis Quest 631 steel framed road bike that doesn’t get any use since I bought my gravel bike. I think it’s a good candidate for an E bike conversion.

Can anybody recommend a suitable kit?

Thinking rear hub motor and bottle cage battery to keep the clean retro looks?

Are all the kits on Amazon the same?

I used Woosh Bikes https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits - the customer service and peace of mind that everything will work together was worth the slightly raised cost to me. Given the hills around here (west Wales) and my 95kg, I do now sorta wish I'd gone for the 48v kit rather than the 36v, which does start to struggle a bit up the 10%+ sections.

I can second Woosh bikes, excellent UK company with great after sales service.

Yose Power have a following, they have a shop on eBay.

Geeko seem to be getting popular https://www.100g.tech/ uniquely their rear wheel drive has no pedal sensor and the app on your phone is your LCD display, so minimal wiring. Also they have pretty neat bottle batteries.

The one to avoid is Switch apparently.

I fitted a Yose Power hub kit to a Boardman MTX hybrid and it was a decent bit of kit, worked well. As mentioned you won't go wrong with Whoosh either, they have a very good rep and many happy customers.
