Hya Phil.I am new to e-byking too and spent a lot of time on this forum and was offered a lot of advice.I had settled on a kit and had narrowed it down to a couple.Happened to call in at my local on yer byke shop and got some good sound advice.Main thing I was asked was why a kit when I could...

Thanks for that Anthony.I will be making a decision later next week.Such a variation in price for the same spec.Oxygen kit is 300 more than cyclotricity and same spec apart from special cable holders on Oxygen.Just checking spec and price of a few more.

Thanks for showing me what the sensor looks like

Hi there,Having talked to boss at cyclotricity there should not be a problem fitting sensor to chainwheel side.If I do this myself I would need to get a puller.Thought I might use my local cycle shop to fit it.Might get them interested in e- bykes which would be a good thing.After all they are...

Hi agaain.Have been in France for a few weeks.Took my byke to a cyclotricity dealer today.Was going to order a kit but dealer wasn't sure if pedelec sensor would fit.seemed like he hadn't fitted one before.The bottom bracket shaft is square,he used apuller to get it off.he said there is no...

Hi,Think I have decided on a cyclotricity kit.This has a 10 amp battery which seems adequate.Would you advise going for the basic kit or add the pedal assist which adds £100.

At a bit of aloss to undersand how you don't reccommend chinese kits and yet on the website there are bykes from you from about £550 upwards these surely have cheaper kits than £950.I would be prepared to buy at arond £500 to £600.but which? £950 too dear for me.

Hope you get 2 pics ok

Thanks for quick response!will take pics asap and post

Thanks for your reply.My weight dressed is 12 stone.The suspension forks were fitted about 3 years ago by my son who borrowed the byke for his son and rides a lot off road so byke is ok and comfortable for an old un like me.Budget for a conversion 600 to 800.Has a standard bb.if by that you...
