My escape 3 doesn't have a suspension so I bought a seat post one. But I defo would like a proper one in next bike, thanks for the tip.

Between the previous 2024 Cube Nature and these 2 disc braked boardmans which would be your pick to convert to e-bike: Boardman DRC Hybrid 8 yrs old, good condition, carbon forks, sram gears, serviced gears and brakes recently, says it was £800 new and asking approx £180 Boardman X7 Hybrid 7...

Thanks saneagle.

Thanks Peter

I see, part of me thinks the cassette sale might be due to returned kits they are trying to re-sell, but I could be wrong. Thanks for your advice mate, I'd rather go for an option with less issues when it is within my means - have requested cancellation of the cassette version. As for that...

I saw the option for freewheel but it was £50 more than the cassette and plus people online from various forums stated that the cassette version is superior all round in bikes. The gears are 3 by 7 (3 at front and 7 at back). Details of my Medium sized bike (you have to scroll down): Giant...

Thanks sjpt, my Swytch refund is back in and I've now ordered the Yose, it's over £400 cheaper and will be delivered next week. I'll order the cassette and chain and hopefully all goes well. If it does, then after a few years when I'm more familiar with conversion kits, maybe I can do some...

My current cogs are 14T-34T, would this 32T set also work? Shimano CS-HG200 7-Speed Cassette | Tredz Bikes Could probably get a new chain, although I don't have any particular issues with current chain but it is going on 7 years. If anyone knows can you recommend a good quality chain that is...

Thanks Peter, do I have to get a locking ring (or nut?..) for that cassette you linked to attach it to the yose wheel?

While this offer is on I feel tempted to go for it, however it looks like my bike has the freewheel mechanism. I have marked what part moves and what stays still when rotating anticlockwise Can anyone tell if this is freewheel?

Appreciate your responses guys. The thing is I love my Escape 3 and it is serving me well on long journeys. I suppose I'm trying to avoid any pitfalls while trying to keep using this bike with an electric configuration, I will take this bike to Halfords so they can confirm of v brakes are...

Was looking at a Bafang kit that's disc brake only else have to pay extra for v brake edition. I get that it will rub away faster and have started looking into discs brakes, no idea about them or which ones are good or even how to install them, might just get Halfords to do it once I decide on a...

I usually do a 6 hour ride on the hybrid once a week if weather permits. Going to my destination is mostly downhill or fairly level and requires little effort. The fairly steep up hill return journey is where I think an e-bike would be very useful. I do have v brakes....I just configured these...

Appreciate that Peter, looks like Swytch really is expensive. I have a cassette rather than freewheel. I read that rear conversions are considered better than front, will look into these thanks.
