This is a good point. What conversion kit did you use?

I just use generic brand just to dip myself into ebike scene, and even then it works very well. The one i used is from L-Faster. I think it required more work with these diy conversion kit, but those branded or that can be done quickly (swytch, bafang, bosch) have the same proprietary issue.
