+1 for the bbs01b. Finished building mine yesterday, wonderful experience. Notched 30km/h easily on flat, 25km/h on hills (I'm nearly as heavy as you) without breaking a sweat. Got my battery from Eclipse, excellent service.

Woohoo... 30 miles on flat, easy! All done and it feels great! Thank you all!!! Btw, decided to drill 2 holes into the metal and plastic battery holder sections... Seemed easier than drilling holes for rivet nuts into frame!

Ok. Thanks. Here's goes...

Hey guys, does anyone know if I can drill a hole into the down tube and how / what tool I need to thread it into a bottle cage type hole (so I can then use M5 bolts)? Unfortunately, my bike's existing bottle mount holes are too low / too near the bottom bracket. Thanks. Karl

I ordered the 17.4ah from Eclipse on Friday, they organised delivery near immediately (as I ordered circa 3pm, it's likely to be actually shipped on Monday). Seems to be excellent service to me! Anyway, I considered the option of ordering from China (the BBS01B seller offered me this option)...

Thanks again for the wisdom.

Yes, seller just confirmed as such... it's circa 11:30pm in China! So, 20-25amp discharge rate is ok for this 15A controller? http://eclipsebikes.com/product_info.php?products_id=144 Or should I just get better quality and go for 30Q version...

So, basically; the battery is ok with either amp'd versions 15A / 25A, but if I had the 25A motor, then I'm better off buying the better quality 30Q battery version (but will lose a few amp hours for my £££ :()? I'll ask the seller and see what they have to say. It's due to the UK in five...

There is are more than one amp'd version of the 250w bbs01b? :confused::confused::confused: Guess I'll have to wait for the delivery before ordering the battery then. Cheers Nealh

Will the continuous discharge current be ok for the BBS01B? it states 20-25Amps, but I'm sure i read somewhere, the BBS is 15-18A?.. or does this not matter?

Ok, so according to you guys, I should buy a bigger capacity battery, so (I'm hoping the missus doesn't finds out I'll be whacking £300.00+ on it), it's between the following: http://eclipsebikes.com/product_info.php?products_id=110 (Whale sized) and...

Thanks for the clarification!

Woo... was going to buy that same kit from the fleabay for £45, but now that d8veh has pointed the equivalent kit in halford, might as well get that one, which, from the outset looks more sturdy!

I was only planning to ride to work (five steep hills, 12 mile journey each way) and down some canal tracks at the weekend... Might not need so much power, lest I desire to swim with the ducks and local wildlife. . However, if this is so enjoyable as everyone says it is for them, I might invest...

That's quite encouraging from a 250w motor!

Gotcha, thanks.

Much obliged. Order the battery and brake sensor next week. So, if I set max speed on the display to 40km, will the bike actually push the rider (subject to the usual terrain, weight etc) to circa 40km before the motor cuts out, or do I have to buy a programming cable to get extra power /...

Thanks for the knowledge! So... I noted two eclipse websites for that battery, .com seems more professional Vs .co.uk website. I've all but decided on: http://eclipsebikes.com/product_info.php?products_id=110 So I'll be ordering hydraulic brake sensors, to fit on my existing brake levers...

Btw, is the Ah part of the battery just an indication of possible range / capacity; the higher the Ah, the higher the range?

Thanks for the detailed explanation guys, I'll go checkout eclipse battery... I did Google search if insat and I don't think I can afford one. This is my first ebike. I'm glad so many knowledgeable people in here
