My wife and I have converted two bikes with a mid drive kit very similar to
the Luna Cycle kit that Joe posted. We are very happy with them, so far.
It has been about a year and they are still going strong.

I was not aware that you can do a mid-drive conversion (I thought the frame
had to be special designed to accept the drive-unit instead of a bottom
bracket). How did you do it?

Thanks, Stephen; please do report on further ride experiences.
I'll have to keep Swytch in mind for the future.

I liked the mid-drives although this has a lot to do with the monster hill
I was living on at the time. I'm probably not a good source for reviews now
cuz I kinda soured on the whole thing; if I got back into it now I would
buy a dedicated ebike and leave the Rivs to pedalers. Which you
Hey Patrick,
Yeah, its all in all pretty easy to get set up and going, and it would be
easy to remove and return to just a regular bicycle. The Kit actually came
with the hub motor already prebuilt into a wheel. If you are savvy I
suppose you could unlace the rim and build the hub into a
Looks like you're good there, Stephen, 250W is pretty mellow. Yes it's the
torque that would concern me with a more powerful hub motor; no bad
experiences (I used 250W on an Appaloosa), I just try not to be too crazy
with slim fork blades not designed with a motor in mind. Most
front-hub-motor
ahh, thanks for the info Johnny! Yes, I'm now seeing that listed in the
instruction manual..

Hey Joe,
That would be because of too much torque on a weak fork I presume? I'd be
curious to hear more about your experiences with eRivs, and is that a
determination you've made based on a bad experience? Have you done both
front and rear type motors? I have to admit I'm pretty clueless when
Looks fun but - as a fellow who's built a few eRivs - I gotta throw in a
warning here about wattage. If that's a 250W hub you're good, I would worry
about 500W on Riv's spindly forks.
