Thanks. Got 16 miles on one battery yesterday going full pelt, The batteries I have are 30s3p, I have 2 of them rated 7.8ah (may get 1 recelled). They are giving me about 20 miles per battery, more if I wasn't always going fast, I cruise around 28mph, bike weights in at sub 19kg, I'm 70kg, 2.5...

Thanks will do.

Finally finished my first ebike build! It was a lot easier than I had imagined, many thanks to members here who made my research easy. I purchased the adaptors from fleabay for a tenner and had a 2 week wait for them, meanwhile the motor came from em3ev (500w instead of 350w) but can't really...

Ordered a 350w 100mm motor with bling ring, hopefully I can make it work.

I'm going for a 350w bbs02 with a 100mm shaft, mostly off road.

Would love the hd but a small triangle limits my battery options plus trying to keep it legalish

I've seen torque arms sold online as well as adapters so hopefully won't be a problem although a local fabricator might be best. Would it be best to get a 90mm motor or is 100mm best to allow for adjustments? Do you foresee any issues with my chainstay? I counted 40t on my biggest front...

Is there a reason for that or just a poor install? Will it make a difference as it's hopefully coming out anyway. Hoping to fit an adapter and a 100mm bbs02 whiçh are scarce.

I'm not really concerned about the battery as I'll be able to get something in there, bespoke or mini bottle battery...

Hi woosh thanks for your reply. It's because of you mainly why I bought the Rio and loving cycling again, no more sciatica! So thanks! Yep realised after I bought the giant that it would be difficult to convert to a mid drive, I mainly wanted mid because it seems all the big manufacturers are...

Hi Peter, thanks for your response, I'm not with the bike until Tuesday as I've had to come to London. I did offer a tape measure up and it was just under 90mm and a search online suggests it's 86.5mm a Shimano press fit, the bike is a 2012 model. If it is correct would a 90mm or 100mm motor be...

Hi all Firstly I'd like to thank members on here for their knowledge and advice which led me to buy my first ebike. I started off with a £700 budget and quickly realised that I would have to increase this, after much research, generally on this site, I decided on the woosh Rio MTB. I've fallen...
