Thanks for that, I didn't think about that at all

Can you elaborate more on this? I have asked here if front or rear is better but i'm no closer to understanding which is best, I've just been told that there are positives and negatives for each one - about the Rear kit -...

Will look into that definitely. I did edit my comment, probably a bit too late for you to see, about the battery and controller inside it. Wondering if it will prevent me using the battery with another kit in the future?

My apologies, I went back and must have misread, I will go with the front kit in that case and hopefully all goes well, I wasn't questioning the accuracy of what you said, I was more concerned that outsourced support had got it wrong - Someone on here mentioned I have freewheel anyway when I...

Exactly what I wanted! @Cadence I thought you said the 250W controller only had walk assist though? Are they contradicting what you received or am I mistaken? I fully expected them to say it only did 6 km/h

Thanks for that. I understand why you are saying that as you know what you are getting and it's all fully certified. Regarding the throttle, the intention isn't to use it all the time, but I need it there if that makes sense, I would absolutely make sure that I had enough to get back on a...

Thank you a lot for this!

Yes I can build it, although I was leaning toward one already built. And that is 500W I think, so not road legal? That's probably something I will look at later on as people here have told me its probably not a good idea to go above 250W as not legal!

+ on this, I'm really open to buying a bike that is already put together, but if a thumb throttle or twist & go is not included its a no-go I'm afraid. I'll be honest, my heart sometimes decides to go on a fast one and race above 200BPM for no reason, so if that happens while I am out and about...

Yeah.. no thanks on that last part, definitely worth it to buy UK just for the peace of mind. Hopefully they are setting it to 5 mph and I can request one that isnt. When you say default options, is this something that can be changed with the display or is it factory programmed. As @Cadence...

I'll send them an email over in that case and take it from there. Looked on some Amazon reviews of the yosepower kit just to see if they mentioned support anywhere and it seems they are in China, and just dispatching from a UK warehouse so not too hopeful. And that was what I was wondering as...

Gotcha, yeah I definitely want a throttle only operation up to 15.5 without pedaling. So the Lishui controller is limiting it to 4mph only, if I was to buy an alternative controller compatible with the C500 display that the kit comes with, I would presume that I could use full throttle? Yeah...

Right, thanks for that, will definitely keep that in mind - And no, wasn't intending on buying that, just linked it as an example! Main thing now is to look for a simple 250W kit, Undecided on front or rear and pair it with the YOSE Power battery. @Cadence said he had paired the 350W...

Haha right, so its a technicality basically - New bike and New twist and go throttle conversion = Illegal and needs type approval, Used Bike and New twist and go throttle coversion = legal and exempt from type approval, got it. So you could just buy a new bike, ride it on the road once and...

Yes... Very complicated indeed, well I was almost sold on this one https://www.yosepower.co.uk/products/e-bike-conversion-kit-36v250w-front-motor-36v15-6ah-hl-plus-battery However now if it can only send me 4mph (Correct?) Then it is useless for my purpose, although I cannot see anywhere in...

Right.... That seems pretty useless then for what I want, unless I am missing something, it will only propel me up to 6mph? Right, now I'm really confused, is electrical assistance without pedaling at all illegal?

Yes, you will be pleased to know I have realised that there are better options than chinese moped, I know I have the flexibility of getting exactly what I need for probably half the price that the Shengmilo would have cost me. Can I just query what @Cadence said, why would replacing the...

Okay, so it seems it's worth it to use that controller and get a different display if I go for that conversion kit? I think the Lishui is 7A with a max of 15, is there a point of diminishing returns with the same motor? Unsure where that point is?

Right, understood on all of that. Happy that I can covert it, it does the job and I can always upgrade to something else later down the line Would you recommend a front or rear wheel? People on this thread have explained the differences but it doesn't get me closer to a decision as it seems...

That's brilliant, thanks for that. I will take a look at them, I do have a separate controller that I stumbled across and I have no Idea why I have it or if it's suitable, will post a picture of it if I can and a picture of my bike Will just post what's in the box Just had a look at my bike...
