I have a moxie, not a thudbuster. its definitely LT
electrifying an existing bike adds something like a minimum of 20 lbs (15 for a middrive, 5 for a small battery pack) to bike, so I'd be rather hesitant to electrify a lightweight road bike. my 700x32 hybrid is 25 lbs, the 30 lb stepthrough 'comfort bike' I electrified came out at 63 lbs (12 lb 864 W*Hr battery pack, 20 lb 1000W rear wheel), and I'm very happy the stepthrough has the long travel suspension seatpost when its carrying that weight and I'm going over railroad tracks or whatever.
