Your statement regards the Hydraulic disc brakes is bizarre, a good set of V's will work well but nothing like using disc brakes at all, not only is the braking power in wet weather or dry far superior but also the whole feel of braking with discs is far far better & smoother than V's & I am...

I can clearly see that the parts fitted to the powerbyke are not of a high standard so I do not agree with you. I am sure that if, as you say, powerbyke is a market leader it is because it's clients are of an older generation & don't go far on these bike & they have designed the bike with that...

As your confused perhaps I should make myself more clear. In my opinion the bike in question looks outdated compared to modern bikes & I think the reason you might be confused is the fact that perhaps many of the people here might be retired or a bit older than myself & also you might just...

I am not arguing with myself or anyone else I'm just saying what I like & dislike which I should be able to do on any open forum. If I thought that the Cytronex was great I would have brought one by now bacause it is the only bike I see on the market that has a modern look & has basic...

I am referring to the Powabyke X6 with regards the outdated looks along with many others I have seen & I don't think I have missed any point at all. Thank god standard bikes have moved on from the 70's/80's but if that's your thing then I guess it takes all sorts & I hope you get good use out...

Thankfully fashion & looks play a big part in what makes us by things & this also applies to bikes electric or not so something as silly as the look of that ugly battery & looks of this bike would put many people off & this is one reason why the development/sales of ebikes is IMO behind...

Looking at the last few post it is clear that Powabyke's have many happy customers so it's no surprise that the company is defended so well but remember it is a company who wants to make money so the more feedback they or any other company gets, good or bad, is a good thing for us, the...

I'm new here so I don't know the history of Mr Ching but I totally agree with his comments about that bike, it looks awful & has really poor components fitted, for the price I would expect better components. Having said that as I am about to build my own electric MTB the Ezee kit is also being...

As I am still not sure if a electric bike is going to suit me or I will be able to convert my MTB over to electric I have had a rethink so any feedback would be welcome. I thought I might buy a Alien Cruiser which has the 36V alien kit on it then ride about for a while on that just to get the...

I'm in the same boat as you & really want a front disc hub but just look at the cost :( it's ridiculous. I am either going for front V's on my MTB with a Alien 36v kit or will wait until someone comes up with a sensible electric disc hub & not a rip off over inflated price like the Ezee or...

On the Alien website the 36v kits says it's 110mm & it says that the picture showing 100mm is incorrect. The 24v kit is 100mm

Thanks for the info. Am I right in thinking the Alien hubs are Suzhou Bafang ?. To be honest as the Alien kit is over half the price of Ezee I was worried that the alien hub might be badly made but if it's Suzhou Bafang then perhaps my worries are unfounded. I see that Suzhou Bafang do...

I see the Ezee electric hub motor is now on sale at Cyclepoint Brighton after reading another thread. As I am about to join you all & make up my own electric MTB I would love to know what your views are on the Ezee hub motor in terms of power & reliability. I am close to buying the Alien 36v...

You said it, Twice the price :eek:

I'm in the same boat as you & want to make up my own MTB with an electric hub. Why do you want a MTB as apposed to another type of electric bike ?. The reason I ask is if you want a electric MTB for off road riding then a £100 bike fitted with a kit is not going to be of much use as it will...

When I took my non electric MTB to Longleat CP I took it into the accommodation at night because I had a friend who had his bike stolen in the middle of the night more than likely by someone form outside the park. I can't see much point in taking the risk so I would just hire a bike when you...

Hi & thanks for letting me join your great forum. I have been eager to build up a second MTB but with an electric hub fitted just to take the edge off of long off road rides & not forgetting just having some fun on the roads & cycle lanes :). Due to the high price of the German hubs I...
