20% of electric bike kits through 10/6/17

eBikeKit.com is running a whopping 20% off sale through 10/6/17.  If you've been thinking about trying electric, and especially if you've been wary of the price tag, then now's a good time to jump in.  I got one of these kits for my wife's bike and it makes a world of difference.

Even on sale, the e-bike kits listed here are more expensive than the Hill Topper (front wheel) conversion I've used now on two bikes.  I am very happy with it.  From the company Clean Republic.  https://www.electric-bike-kit.com/hill-topper.aspx

FYI.

Thanks, chavela, I checked them out and they certainly have very attractive prices.  The only big difference I see is that the e-BikeKit models come with an LCD dashboard to show things like speed and remaining battery charge while the Hill Topper doesn't, but if that's indeed the only difference, then that's a pretty big price premium for just that feature.
