Hi everyone,
A few facts about me.
1. New to biking
2. I am mechanically incline (rebuilt a car)
3. Never built a bike, let alone a conversion
So I am looking to buy an eBike and settled on the Magnum Premium II High Step. I have not purchased it yet and ran across a full size folding bike which seem more compact when folded, Montague Navigator.
I have searched for videos and/forums without luck of anyone building this bike with the R2 kit.
1. Is this kit compatible with the Montague Navigator
2. If installed, will I be able to drop the trunk as a kickstand as the OEM trunk?
3. Freewheel recommendations?
** I have emailed both Magnum and Montague to see if the kit is compatible. Magnum replied that it should be a great fit but thinks it may need a different freewheel. I’d rather hear from people not associated to the companies as well.

My reason for building now is that I can always get another kit or just end up with a decent light weight bike if not. I am concern with OEM replacement parts and service long term with buying an eBike.
Please me know your thoughts and opinions and if I should just buy the Magnum Premium II High Step.
