    It's a steel frame will that hampen the speed ?. The bike is a commuter mudguards and comfy seat etc but the frame is steel although i asked the guy and he says its a strong aluminium frame by ridgeback. It's the bafang bss01 350w mid drive kit.

    Ok just a little update. Found cheap bike for £210 steel frame suitable for my bafang kit. Have also bought a 16ah 36v battery pack. The bike does not have any suspension but personally i find suspension bikes or full suspension bikes are a waste of time and costs are worthless when it comes to...

    You sir just won the internet. velo is indeed a beauty but not what im after at all. The recumbent design bikes are nice also but not what we are after. I think what me and my father are trying to capture is an ebike thats stealthy looking, cables hidden overall professional finish. But first...

    I'm aware of the EN15194 yes. As for the look of the bike, thats currently being designed and a prototype of the ebike will surface eventually... but it wont look anywhere near what we want, and thats because all the things to make it look like that have to be designed. We have been eager to...

    Hi all, First of all let me apologize, i made a thread a while back but due to life events i had to come away and sadly i think a lot of people tried to help me so inthat case it was never intentional to leave sorry. Basically im trying to find the strongest possible bike to fit a 250w motor...

    250w vs 500w for 120kg person + panniers!.

    Don't know where to start. Seems a 500w motor is not necessary. I could live with a 300w motor as long as she can pull me and the panniers. I am 5 foot 8 1/2 at 120kg built with tone little flab lmao. If i can find a good 300w - 350w motor that would suit my bike would be enough 500w is not...

    250w vs 500w for 120kg person + panniers!.

    Hello, My preferred choice of motor was a 500w but upon checking the UK law it seems you can only get a lousy 250w motor which is a big disappointment!. I am still keen to purchase a 500w kit and ride it to use as my transport i am against petrol based systems and do not support 2 stroke...
