Getting my first e-bike, Need opinions! :)

That does seem better. My local bike shop might be hesitant to work on it under the warranty that way.

It's such a simple design.

That is an internal 3-speed rear end.

You can use just electric power and your pedals don't move.
You can use just pedal power with 0 drag from the the electric system.
You can use both at the same time however you like ;-}

If you would like to see more mids-drives I have some here http://kcsbikes.com/KCsBuilds.asp?motor=Electric&shifter=All

I got all my parts from Sick Bike Parts

Hope that helps

This is what I'm talking about, nothing crazy and if that's enough to baffle the bike shop they shouldn't be in the business..
