Yeah the Mycle offerings look decent, smaller range of accessories, though, and ultimately I don't think we need a cargo bike that heavy duty. We live so near to a supermarket now that I'll be getting the weekly shop. Only 1 kid and no plans for more. The major positive for the Tern is that it...

I've found a Tern HSD locally with 1100 miles on the clock for £1.9k. I've wanted one of these for a while due to the potential for my wife to use it and carry our child around on her day off, rather than always taking the car. The other 4 days of the working week I'd be committing on it, 5...

On what wheel size are we talking? Not sure what you mean by over-specifying, I'm mainly just trying to not buy new components. Fair point about going without the TS though, I keep forgetting that's an option!

I was very close to pulling the trigger on the Woosh BBTS/DWG22C kit but I'm getting myself tied in knots in regards to gear ratios and chainline. I understand chainline isn't so critical on an assisted bike, but I'm struggling to understand how some of these numbers are workable. Currently...

Looking closer at the BBS01B drawings in pretty sure it won't fit, can't find the gearbox diameter for the tsdz8 or tsdz2 but I imagine it's probably similar. My chainstays flare out quite a lot near the BB. So probably looking at a hub motor or no conversion at all.

Now leaning towards the tsdz8 from Woosh, but having trouble working out whether it will fit my frame. Are there any sure fire methods to work out whether fitting will work prior to ordering, or if I'll have a horrible chainline? The bike is 68mm bb. Just over 100mm wide at 100mm out from the BB...

Just to be clear I'll be keeping this UK compliant. The programming cable was an after thought in case I wasn't to tweak other settings.

Cheers, I'll running full guards so spray shouldn't be a problem. From memory I think I can get an oversized bottle cage on the seat tube plus a ticket one on the down tube so hopefully that means the mounts are reasonably high on the DT.

Better in what way? I must say torque sensing does appeal, but for my use case (i.e commuting where the end goal is to expend as little effort as possible for a relatively short distance) from what I have read, it might not actually be the best option. Plus, it's anecdotal, but I'm reading more...

That's actually not a bad price, about £170 more with a 15ah battery, but I'd also need the hydro brake switches on top. Not sure if I'll need the extra 20nm on a day to day basis, but it might be handy to tackle some steeper hills to the north of Cardiff with child on the back occasionally.

This one https://greenlance.co.uk/products/greenlance-e-bike-battery-samsung-electric-bike-battery-36v-16ah?variant=44352834896101 Edit: sorry replied to wrong post there. Another newb question: it says 25-30 mile range, but presumably this isn't fully draining the battery? At what % should I...

Ok thanks for confirming. So they do a 16ah 36V battery for £250 so will probably go with that. As far as I can see the BBS01B is only available in a 36V version.

Not sure I fully understand the amps thing, I'm not looking to go outside of EAPC spec as I'll be getting the sprog. Seen the high torque mod model from that Brighton company but I won't be pulling much weight uphill most of the time so I think stock BBS01B should do me most of the time, just...

The other thing that puzzles me is whether 2 water bottle bosses are enough for the battery mounting, assuming it fits in the frame in the right place.

Do Greenlance fall in to this category? Definitely keen to not skimp on the battery or charger. Would also happily pay for a charger that shuts itself off when it's reached capacity if such a thing exists, although maybe this would encourage complacency from me. I wonder if Red Dragon are local...
