Thankyou, it is a lovely bike to ride. As for the reasons you ask about the hub gear, well I wanted to replace my original 21 speed derailleur gears for something to match the gear range & the 11 speed hub gear does this. Also the hub gear was on offer for less than a hub gear with less gears...

lol Yeah they do get a lot of heads turning & do believe get me noticed more by drivers.

Recently built my next ebike with a mid-drive conversion kit & thought I share it with you guys. Done 22 miles so far & as many hills as possible, carrying loads on 2nd ride & using as much of the assistance as possible to see how battery does & not even dropped a bar on the battery level...

Now sold but can't see how to delete this post!

Due to disabilities I am selling my Momentum Upstart to fund the next eBike to build to be more suitable for my disability. The blog link gives all of the details of the bike & photos: http://the2wheeledwolf.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/for-sale-one-awesome-ebike-my-dutchess.html

Well after no help from manufacturer & no-one locally can work on it I decided I might as well attack it with hammer & chisel to get cover plate open & check the bearings. But before I managed to check bearing it was discovered that the cover plate was slightly undone due to the grub screws had...

Well I can't see why they wouldn't repair it considering their business is solely eBikes, the motor is part of my Momentum Upstart. Built at factory as an eBike & electrics & frame still under warranty. Sent from my Valencia2_Y100pro using Tapatalk

As I've said, I ain't riding it until I know what's going on. I won't be touching it as likely invalidate any warranty on bike or have the tools to open it. But it seems all agree it is bearings & will look at it to be repaired by reputable mechanic for the manufacturer of the eBike. Sent from...

I need some help as I am concerned in a possible issue with the front wheel Bafang 8fun 250W motor. I have noticed what feels like an intermittent rubbing sensation that feels like a brake block making contact to a buckled rim. After having rim trued up & brakes adjusted, it is still there. I...

Thanks, hopefully it will too? Tho have a lil issue with motor atm I need checking out.

Thanks, I can cycle longer distances without the need of pedal assisted bike but its too much for my knackered legs to do & stand for hours at work too. So having a gentle assistance at junctions & hills does help the legs a lil bit & is good to cycle a bit more this way. :)

I recently purchased a secondhand 2015 Momentum Upstart due to its weight & affordability. I'd say it is a wonderful bike, I get about 42-44 miles per charge cycling to work & back with hills & my disability. Definitely one I'd recommend.

I found the automatic gear hub on the Momentum is great for in town use but for long faster moving rides with hills, it was a hindrance. So I spent £100 to replace the automatic gear hub with a Sturmey Archer manual 3 gear hub kit with smaller 13 tooth rear sprocket. I have found it gives me...

Hi all, I thought I join this community as I have now got an ebike. So I will introduce myself, I have been cycling when I was young & returned to cycling after 20 years of disability making it impossible. Now returned to cycling after a major op 5yrs ago & recently got a 2nd hand ebike...
