    Folding bike for weekend cruising

    Thanks both for your battery estimates, it's quite reassuring, as previously I was cutting out bikes with batteries below 500wh. That conversion looks great! If I go with conversion it would be my first attempt. I noticed this motor comes standalone. Is it better to get the parts individually...

    Folding bike for weekend cruising

    ...I'm about the same weight and height as you and a reasonably powerful pedaller and I did a lightweight akm 75 conversion with 36v 15 ah bag battery conversion. Not the most powerful of motors but I can get up a hill marked as 17% incline That gives me 50-60 miles range over mixed terrain on...

    Hello from new user

    Was the OP a genuine query? If so, then looks like an easy to steal lightweight folder incapable of taking a rack or having a lock threaded through the frame. So you'll be carrying the bike wherever you can't ride it as well as the rucksack, worrying about the bike to the detriment of your...

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    Yeah, and I would have a GB3 if I could afford it, but I did a 40 mile ride yesterday and the MiRider would have been the wrong tool for that job. But I actually wouldn't mind a folder to chuck in the car The GB3 is probably one of the best small-wheeled folders out there, especially with that...

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    ...set up the way we like it as a power boost. It also has some other minor refinements that the Hitway doesn't have, plus full UK support. Personally, I think it's a bit expensive for what it is, but it does its job very well as a lightweight utility bike that can be thrown in the back of a car.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    ...we already established that a a system with torque multiplication was unsuitable for her. Why do we keep going round and round in circles, with people keep recommending what's suitable for themselves instead of for Katy? She wants lightweight, power without much pedal effort and enough range.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    The two requirements of high power and lightweight are conflicting characteristics. It's not that somebody's missing a market, it's that physics prevents it.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    More powerful bikes have heavier motors. Longer range bikes have heavier batteries. Beyond a certain point (10-11 kg ) reducing the weight of the non e-bike specific components is chasing diminishing returns. The lightest conversion kit I've fitted had a 1.6kg AKM 75 motor and a 1.8 kg 36v...

    ...addition: more even weight distribution and larger wheels than your Cruza, and it must be step through. I can't find a reasonably priced lightweight step through bike or bike frame (custom built titanium would be too expensive) which can have a middle-ish mounted large capacity battery...
