My rear tyre has got a few small holes where I think it's been allowing flats so I think I could kill two birds with one stone and get a tyre+tube rear motor hub kit. I am now really am thinking geared or direct drive rear hub motor, because it will be safer with my aluminium frame and because after changing my rear tube it went flat again after one ride so I am think it's a sign that I should go with a rear setup. Then I read mid-drive kits are noisey, and also a bigger job to install, while I plan to only ride on the road so noise can only matter so much I do like the idea the of being discreet, but any positive feedback on going down mid-drive route would easily help make it the choice of path. Then I thought mid-drive Cyclone or GNG electric kit, so i get more torque, this kit looks like a pretty good deal. The forks are SR Suntour NEX 4610 V2, seems to get a lot of hits on google. Originally I was thinking of going front geared/direct fork hub, but I found my bike completely fails the magnet steel fork strength test, the forks are pretty chunky aluminium though. I want to electric my Giant Farrago 2009 M sized Hybrid bike and I am having trouble with which type of motor technology I should use. Anything above that would just be a nice plus I think. I think I would be quite happy with 30km/h speed but am willing to accept 25km/h for exchange for more take off from traffic lights torque. I hate stopping at traffic lights and having to pedal hard to get going again and it really takes it out of me often to the point where once I get to my destination I can't enjoy my self etc as I am too hot and tired. My main goal is to do 10km commute round trips, with about 8 stops at lights, and I want to do the least amount of pedalling needed (this is my vision currently at least). I been reading posts on here and am convinced this is the best place on the net to get help with my first ebike upgrade by far.
