Hi Lloyd, Yes it is really a 4 bar link, but its not a parallel motion, it has been tweaked so as it has a virtual pivot forward of the chainring, hence my use of this description. forgive me if my use of the terminology isn't right... The shock is a RockShox Ario 2.1, which seems good so far...

If you pick up the front of the bike so no load it will go to 28mph on the speedo, not sure what rpm that is. What I find is nice is the assist fades slowly away as you go over 23mph until its gone at about 27mph. Some bikes I rode really feel like you just hit a mud puddle as the assistance...

Hi, Its an eZee kit, as recommended by flecc. 36v 8Ah LiFePO4, twist throttle, normal eZee controller and a 300rpm geared motor in a 700c wheel (approx 550W I think although they don't seem to publish the power) The photo is a bit out of date now, I have got some mudguards on it (essential...

It probably wouldn't be a big deal, as once you reach those sizes, the effect on the radius of the extra teeth is smaller, so a 48T to 50T is only 4mm difference in the radius. There is always some compromise as you can only get it right for one chainring, so you move more than that moving to...

suspension Its also a carefully selected geometry, suspension design has come on a lot since the single pivot trailing arm type. There are lots of fancy names for different designs but this is setup so as when the suspension moves, then alignment of the top and bottom link are such that the...

Nice, Thanks!

sorry try again with the picture.... I have tried hosting the picture somewhere else, hope this works...

A long while ago, I posted a question on here, and Flecc gave me some advise to get in contact with OnBike. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/5977-who-can-help-me-please.html#post76976 I took my lightweight Marin steel framed 700c hybrid, and put on the kit and it did everything...

I'll give thm a call in the morning. Lets see how flexible they can be! Thanks for your help!

My aim Thats good information, thank you. My aim in this is to get my average speed up, so I am less likely to take the car. My journey back from work when I'm tired in the evening has a 3 mile long fairly gentle hill at the end of it, which means I am crawling by the end of it and it takes...

Fair point. Do you think the scheme administrators would actually care if I were to choose over 250W? Actually over half my cycle commute is private lanes leading to and through a golf course, but thats just semantics! Still does anyone supply a 250W kit with LiFePO4? (I hope for less than...

hmm. Best I've see but Thanks flecc, I didn't come across that one, it looks like a good kit, but its almost double what the Alien ones cost, and its a 250W motor, Li ion battery where from the research I did, I really wanted 500W LiFePO4. It seems like maybe China via eBay is the only option...

Hi, I am trying to buy a 500Wish 36v LiFEPO4 electric kit for my Marin hybrid bike, with 700C wheels. Seems simple doesn't it, but I want to buy it using the cycle to work scheme, and that means I need a UK supplier who is registered for it. Alien was the first guess, but they have no stock...
