    Brake upgrade. Mechanical or hydraulic

    +1 for good hydraulic brakes. Cheapest I can find: https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-mt200-ur300-flat-mount-front-disc-brake-218489.html Good value for money. If money is a problem - buy front only. More expensive option...

    Heartbroken family pay tribute to teen 'who loved going out with mates' after e-bike crash

    For starters we can stop telling people how to derestrict their bikes. I think more than half of members here have illegal mopeds and just pretend to have EAPCs because it is convenient and cheap.

    Individual Vehicle Approval

    What is the actual meaning if "technically illegal" bike? The way I see it, bike can be either legal or not. Or is it something like riding on pavements? You can't, but you can.

    Good observation sills. Cyclist must hold grips tight all the time. Looks very uncomfortable to me in long run. I hope I am wrong. Nice splash of red color.

    It took me a while to find this bike: https://corratec-uk.co.uk/shop/corratec-life-s/corratec-life-s-4 Is it a folder? Looks like a folder which does not fold. I hope discount was really good. 3K sounds totally ridiculous. Welcome and enjoy your bike.

    Individual Vehicle Approval

    As Flecc mentioned on few occasions, all converted e-bikes are technically illegal unless owner made an effort and acquired Individual Vehicle Approval. Is there a single person who acquired such approval? If you are such person, please share your experience.

    Help with my first conversion kit.

    There are no 900W bikes pretending to be 250W. There are bikes with 250W rated motors able to deliver 900W of power. All perfectly legal. There is no EU or UK law limiting power of electric motors used to make e-bikes. You keep mixing two different things and refusing to understand the...
