Electric Assist Conversion Kits for Silvio

[Drashley]

Has anyone tried an electric conversion kit on their Silvio? I am very limited on how steep and how long I can climb on my Silvio S30 and seeing how it is not getting any better after two years, I am searching for an e-assist solution to help me get up steepers hills. Thanks!

Last time I was investigating it seemed that Endless-sphere forums weas the main forum for DIY electric bikes.

You'll probably want to investigate front wheel hub kits, which hopefully will fit on the Silvio's back. A rear hub kit would have to go on the front making the front end even heavier and a mid-drive system would make the front end of the front triangle really heavy.

Try Leed ebike. I put it on my qx100, and it works well.

Electric Bike Solutions has recently created a kit specifically designed for the T50, but it should also work on a Silvio just fine.
