I think it's a good buy for £2k. I know 2 people who've put kits on an existing bike and they weren't a patch on a properly integrated bike. they had batteries where one of the bottle cages would go or needed a rack mounted battery. The add ons weighed about 4kg - a consideration for when they ran out of power, even when used sparingly.SimonCelsa wrote: ↑30 Dec 2023, 5:25am It's all about perception.
2 grand for that Vitus e-bike is not cheap. When compared with the supposed RRP of £3700 it may seem like a bargain but I don't think many (if any) would buy that bike at RRP.
You can purchase a decent conversion kit (hub or BB) plus battery for around £700, With a budget of £2K there are many decent bikes you could buy, and fit the conversion kit to and still have change.
Having said that, as long as you are happy with the purchase, and get good use from it, is all that matters really!!
I definitely wouldn't pay much more though.
