Just wondering if you would have to have a good credit rating to be accepted o the bike to work scheme. I'm not o a great wage especially for the length of time I work. But if I could get a bike discounted through the scheme it may be affordable. ??? Thanks

I don't fancy that to be honest my bike weighs a ton already. What is the difference between the various types of the bottle battery that you directed me to? Is the Panasonic better for a particular reason? How much is the bafang 750w mid kit weight? Just working out what my bike will weigh...

So the cheaper one is the better option? But 2 of them. Yes I was hoping the fit the battery in the triangle somehow. And the Controller underneath the bottom tube just above the mid drive motor. My thoughts are that if it's. All close to the middle it would be well balanced.

I want to build a new bike. I have a pretty light frame tourer. It is to commute to work and home. The reason I want a bigger capacity is its 18.2 mile each way. With down hill and a lot of uphill and flat. I am going to use it initially on my life cycle and the hub I'm buying off d8veh. But...

Hi there. I am wondering where is the best and cheapest place to get a 48v 20 25 30 ah battery from? Do the Lifepo4 batteries really do 1200 cycles more that lithium ion? Anyone have a good used one with plenty of life left in it? Thanks Phil

I'm glad I asked. I ended up cleaning it at work and using a full blue roll to do so. It just gets bad round where the battery sits. Here is what it looks like if anyone is interested.

Are these bikes ok to jet wash as long as I miss the Controller and take off the battery? Or will it screw up the motor or something?

I came to work this morning and put it on the 15 mph limit. I didn't pedal at all and it got me 16.6 miles But that was just on electric. I think the manual says it should get 20 -22 miles on a charge so with it being hilly I am assuming that it was not too bad. The down side is it too 1 hr...

If I got my boss to join the bike to work scheme can you recommend a good place to get a new bike near Macclesfield or Manchester? Also does credit rating make a difference to this?

I have just looked through my watch list at the ended auctions and the bike d8veh was selling was in there that would have done perfect. I will just keep looking for the bafang motor that d8veh mentioned. If Im Looking good at a new battery.motor and controller I will see what I can get for...

This is the item number 291362473280

Sorry for the delay in replying. I got a bit snowed under with work. When you could empty the battery going max speed is this the return trip or just one way? I take it It's better to stick to the bafang make rather than the Chinese kits on ebay? There is an identical bike to mine on ebay but...

I bought it off gumtree and paid cash so not a great start to be honest. I'm relatively happy with it but I would a little faster and more push up hills. I thought about getting another battery from life cycle and swapping half way but still going to be Low on help up the hills. This is why I...

Hahah . It doesnt get me there. I am happy to charge it at work. But it runs out after 14 miles.so the worst bit is without power and like pulling a tank. I asked about the motor as would like it to get me to work if my hip is bad and I can't pedal. But I'd like it to get up hills without the...

I weigh just short of 16st. I am 5'10" up until 6 years ago my legs were very strong. I have arthritis in my spine,hip and knees. For the most part it doesn't make much difference to me but some days I find pedaling extremely difficult. As with walking etc.im 31 years old so the rest of me is OK...
