    Decent 6v-58v ebike rear light

    I've had a few different rear lights on a few different ebike conversions, this is the best cheapo one I've found so far; Linkbest M9 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003748098953.html Nice and bright without being a glare. Good quality, very visible from the sides too.

    Biggest/most powerful 20" front wheel motor for cargo bike?

    Hi again everyone. Just got a Bakfiets long cargo bike that I'm going to convert to electric. The rear wheel has hub gears, so don't want the hassle changing that. Mid drive would put a lot of strain on the gears, it's a heavy bike, and will be carrying a load. The front wheel is 20" (with...

    If you were going to buy a bike to convert....

    Hi folks, I'm sure this has been done to death, but if you were going to buy a good quality bike to convert, what would you go for? Either make/model or just general specs of the bike.

    Yose power freezes/crashes with brake sensors

    Hi folks, I have been riding my yose power rear hub conversion happily for over a month now. I didn't fit the supplied brake levers, but got a pair of magnetic sensors, and swapped the plugs over. They worked just fine :) Today I was out on the bike and it developed a fault where the screen...
