I gave the Qiroll Mute Plus another test run yesterday on a 19+ mile ride that doesn't have steep grades - total 600 feet elevation gain per Google Maps. The battery wasn't fully charged at the start but all 4 indicator lights were lit, at the end of ride one was lit and another flickering. I...

Strange, their own web page description states 55nm with no mention of 23nm. Maybe a matter of max vs continuous or to meet regulatory requirements. https://www.scott-sports.com/us/en/product/scott-addict-eride-30-bike maybe you'd need to test ride one to see how it works for you.

I think that I saw you quote that torque value before - but from their specs they state 55nm which is substantial boost. At your weight a 10% slope should be a piece of cake with that bike. BTW here is another screaming deal on a '22 model year medium...

There are pictures of carbon bikes with Qiroll installed including one somewhere in this thread. Some people have used what looks like a putty substance between the attachment plates and the carbon tubes, I assume for protection - I'd be cautious to avoid crush damage. The roller can be easily...

One very last post +2, but this time I mean it. Good luck and I hope you end up with what works for you. If you mean too heavy the motor itself adds 5# (minus the weight of your bike's current hub), the 7ah battery <3# - if listed weights are accurate. So if your current bike weighs 18# you...

I don't think it is "fake", it's just the way they made their motor work with a thru axle frame.

One very last post on this thread. OP, post up what you decide to do, if anything. I see the Keyde, laced into a 700c wheel with phone app and no battery, is now on sale for $516.96 and there is an AliExpress $70 discount listed for a total of $446.96. Battery sold separately or choose your...

It sounds like you want a Mahle system and assuming you like your current bike why take a chance on disappointment and regret buying a $1000 - $2000 add on kit when there are better options for a complete bike for not that much of a premium? video worth watching for scenery alone...

If you're adventurous you (OP) can give the Keyde a try - I don't see any reviews of this new(?) thru axle compatible rear hub motor with built in controller, torque and cadence sensing. Looks like an easy and clean installation and would increase the weight of your bike by about 5 pounds, plus...

It's more that I have much experience with the compromises and limitations of conversions. I got into it initially for my wife to try to keep her biking. I live and ride in a very hilly/mountainous area (I live on a mountain). Ridiculous but I have two TSDZ2 mid drives (500w 36v and 750w 48v)...

This is somewhat interesting if it fits your bike and you want to take the chance (I wouldn't): 12mm thru axle 142mm width/OLD, built in controller, cell phone app display/control. Motor weighs ~5 pounds plus whatever 36v battery weight...

Scotts Contessa Addict is a full carbon 26 pound ebike with sophisticated Mahle drive for $2700. There isn't anything remotely comparative to add as a kit to the OP bike.

Unless you want to go with a cheap kit with major limitations (like Qiroll) it doesn't make much practical sense to kit a bike anymore. Really any of the kits have major limitations and compromises. Assuming you have a carbon fork the front motor Swytch kit might not be a good idea. The...

Thanks Harry, maybe early June weather will suit me better but I'll check weather forecasts when the time comes. I don't want to wait until it gets busy and too hot though.
