Just starting to set-up the Puma motor, this one is a rear and has the added bonus of a rear brake adaptor so I can fit a nice hydraulic brake to the bike when testing, will match the front as well with a new wheel and brake.
Otherwise its identical to the front motor, the cable is coming out on the left however I think that the new ones coming to Mark at TH are going to have the cable coming out of the right, will let you know for sure when they arrive.
After much agonizing over which type of conversion kit to use I purchased an elation ebike bottom bracket drive kit from Oz which has finally arrived in the US after a bit of a wait. My main concern is no US distributor yet so it's all long distance so to speak.
I decided to go this route for multiple reasons. Local terrain includes many steep hills, the finished product needed to be light enough for me to lift into a transit bus bike carrier, I have no access to a machine shop and zero experience with electric bikes. This kit seemed to offer all that I was looking for. Mostly I wanted the bottom bracket mount Unite motor, motor freewheel adapter and the freewheeling crank set. I also liked the light weight, quick release, easy to carry, complete with handle battery pack.
