Got it!

Hi spanos, Sorry for the late reply. That looks great and I'm more than willing to pop down to Brighton to pick up. I'm just down the road in Southampton so not too far. Is it possible to do private message on here?

That's why I have to take my time to understand more what equipment I need, how much I'm prepared to pay and how much (if any) hassle I can live with. This is such a helpful forum so thank you everyone for your advice so far.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure is it would be too much stress on the bike upping the power from one wheel. Same with 350W electric bikes as well?

Thanks for the advice d8veh and Nealh. The bike is fairly fast on the flat, but I can struggle with longer hills due to single speed. I guess I'll spec the higher rpm then and if I go for it get them to mark $100 on the box!!! :) Off at a slight tangent, but is it possible to later convert to...

Thanks d8veh. And am I correct in using the 201 rpm on a 700c bike? Also, what would the import charges be on something like this, if any?

Hi Woosh, It's always a worry, but BMS is in my budget. I'm not overly impulsive, so I'll take my time to make sure I get the right kit at the right price. The BMS kit is around my budget price. Prices from UK are more expensive, but for that I suppose you get more come back if anything goes wrong.

The kit in my post above comes with S06P controller. d8veh, should I swap this for the S06S controller?

Thanks John_S. I have looked at this kit. Seems to be able to do what I want. https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-kit/576-q100-36v350w-front-e-bike-whole-kit-ebike-kit.html#/213-rpm-201/380-display-lcd3

Ok, I will check it out, thank you. £499 is probably over my budget right now though.

Hi Whoosh, I don't see that kit on the website.

Ah ok, that's good to hear. The motor you put in the link is 350W. Isn't this illegal for electric bikes? Shouldn't you use 250W?

Thanks d8veh, The links you provided are in China. Have you ordered from them before? Are they ok for delivery to the UK?

Hi d8veh, I did apologise for the vagueness!!! The reason I thought of going for the front wheel hub is that I though the installation would be simpler. Having a rear wheel conversion just seemed a little more complicated to me. I want to use the bike for commuting to and from work several days...

Hi all, I'm looking to add a conversion on a budget to a single speed bike, and from what I've seen so far, installation in the front wheel would probably suit me best. The bike has 700c wheels. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, so I am wondering if any of you experienced can give a total...
