I've been doing a bit of reading on both products and I'm just looking for a few opinions from people's experiences with either kit.
I'm currently riding a new 49cc HS 4-stroke with a hoot gearbox on a 32 spoke (I drilled holes in the current sprocket and used the rag mount to fit.), 21 speed, Rock hopper mountain bike. I live in an area with a few more hills than flats and currently holding at 230 lbs.
The price for either choice will probably be a wash due to the fact that I will likely have to replace the hoot in short order if I stick with it and go with the shift kit.
I'm hoping to be able to cruise at 25 -30 mph on the flats without redlining the motor, 30 mph is currently my top speed with a 44 tooth sprocket, and still be able to pull the hills.
I don't mind doing a bit of tinkering to debug as needed when installed, but due to a health issue I would prefer a bit of dependability going forward.
I appreciate any input available. Thanks
