Change in direction for this build. I'm swapping out the Bikee Lightest kit for the CYC Photon.
Three main reasons for this change.
1. The Bikee Lightest motor is just too loud.
2. The Bikee Lightest motor is just too conspicuous looking as is, and...
3. I would have to mount the Bikee motor even further up the downtube to fit a larger chainring.
4. I don't like the feel of the Bikee torque sensing, and the Photon has the best there is.
5. North American authorized distributors and availability for the Photon.
6. Superior app/firmware experience for the Photon.
I want a stealthier bike, and need a bigger chainring, and it's time for a platform change.
