+1 for the bbs01b. Finished building mine yesterday, wonderful experience. Notched 30km/h easily on flat, 25km/h on hills (I'm nearly as heavy as you) without breaking a sweat. Got my battery from Eclipse, excellent service.

Woohoo... 30 miles on flat, easy! All done and it feels great! Thank you all!!! Btw, decided to drill 2 holes into the metal and plastic battery holder sections... Seemed easier than drilling holes for rivet nuts into frame!

Ok. Thanks. Here's goes...

Hey guys, does anyone know if I can drill a hole into the down tube and how / what tool I need to thread it into a bottle cage type hole (so I can then use M5 bolts)? Unfortunately, my bike's existing bottle mount holes are too low / too near the bottom bracket. Thanks. Karl

I ordered the 17.4ah from Eclipse on Friday, they organised delivery near immediately (as I ordered circa 3pm, it's likely to be actually shipped on Monday). Seems to be excellent service to me! Anyway, I considered the option of ordering from China (the BBS01B seller offered me this option)...

Thanks again for the wisdom.

Yes, seller just confirmed as such... it's circa 11:30pm in China! So, 20-25amp discharge rate is ok for this 15A controller? http://eclipsebikes.com/product_info.php?products_id=144 Or should I just get better quality and go for 30Q version...

So, basically; the battery is ok with either amp'd versions 15A / 25A, but if I had the 25A motor, then I'm better off buying the better quality 30Q battery version (but will lose a few amp hours for my £££ :()? I'll ask the seller and see what they have to say. It's due to the UK in five...

There is are more than one amp'd version of the 250w bbs01b? :confused::confused::confused: Guess I'll have to wait for the delivery before ordering the battery then. Cheers Nealh

Will the continuous discharge current be ok for the BBS01B? it states 20-25Amps, but I'm sure i read somewhere, the BBS is 15-18A?.. or does this not matter?

Ok, so according to you guys, I should buy a bigger capacity battery, so (I'm hoping the missus doesn't finds out I'll be whacking £300.00+ on it), it's between the following: http://eclipsebikes.com/product_info.php?products_id=110 (Whale sized) and...

Thanks for the clarification!

Woo... was going to buy that same kit from the fleabay for £45, but now that d8veh has pointed the equivalent kit in halford, might as well get that one, which, from the outset looks more sturdy!

I was only planning to ride to work (five steep hills, 12 mile journey each way) and down some canal tracks at the weekend... Might not need so much power, lest I desire to swim with the ducks and local wildlife. . However, if this is so enjoyable as everyone says it is for them, I might invest...

That's quite encouraging from a 250w motor!
