1. They're overpriced. A quick Amazon search will show comparable kits for half of the price. You can buy a whole prebuilt ebike for the same price.

2. They're dangerous. FWD ebikes have a tendency to break traction on corners.

3. They tend to destroy the dropouts in your fork.

4. Installation is much more complex than "pop off your bike's front wheel". I can't even find the axle compatibility specs on their website. You know that there are many standards for front axles, right?

Do not recommend.
