    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    That's good news John. Thought I was going to have to order from overseas. Don't know anyone else in the UK who has these. The 7 speed is the biggest I can get in with the size of my motor. As soon as I work out how to get the old freewheel off, I will order one. The latest freewheel remover i...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Meant to say on previous post that I noticed Cyclotricity are selling a complete bike, similar to their Stealth, but with the 1000W rear motor conversion fitted. Selling for £1095. The kit is just under £800, so for anyone who doesn't want to get their hands dirty or doesn't feel confident...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Quick update. The kit is still working perfectly. It still impresses me every time I ride it. I am slowly upgrading the bike around the kit. Have upgraded the discs to 203mm for extra stopping power which also allows me to fit the rear caliper which now clears the motor, just. Have ordered a...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Hi Elecman Kit cost just under £800 with the 1000watt motor, 48volt 11 amp motor and the LCD display (which you need do deresrict the kit). The kit itself is well made and all the connectors are colour coded so you literally cannot go wrong. I had a few installation problems mentioned earlier...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Hi Hi Phil Just this second resolved my rear brake problem. I ordered a 203mm disc and an adaptor bracket and I can now, by about 1mm, get my calliper on. Very pleased. My brakes are hydraulic and are quite strong, so can haul me down pretty quickly. I see yours are cable pull callipers, so...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Have had the derestriction info from Cyclotricity. Bike accelerates a LOT faster. Reached about 29 mph on the flat on just the throttle (on private land). Couldn't pedal fast enough on the pedal assist. The freewheel has a 14 tooth on the smallest spocket. Will change it as soon as I can for one...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Finally got on the road for a quick test, albeit without a rear brake. All worked well, throttle without pedalling on the flat got to 20mph before maxing out. Pedal assist also got to about 21 mph before cutting out. Max speed in the settings within the LCD is showing at 72mph so it is obviously...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Hi Phil You got yours fitted a lot quicker than I have. Looks great and really neatly done.I'm not sure about the derestrict. When I set the parameters in the LCD it showed the max speed as 72 mph I think, so I have left it at that for now. I am nearly there now, just struggling with the rear...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Torque arms arrived today. Excellent quality. Actually managed to fit them to both sides of bike without much difficulty. Quickly connected up the battery, controller, LCD and throttle with the bike upside down for a quick systems check. Worked straight away. Full throttle indicated 61 kph, 38...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Thanks for all that info d8veh. Wouldn't have thought about widening the frame. Scared it may have snapped. I have ordered 2 torque arms from Cycleeze via amazon. If Cycleeze could give them a hurry up it would be appreciated....... Unfortunately the build is now on hold until Monday as I need...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    On another note (problem), with the disc connected to the wheel, there is only about a 12mm gap between the side of the motor and the disc, but the calliper is over 20mm from the brake pad back towards the motor, so no way will it fit. I doubt there is a calliper on the market that is less than...

    Latest rear wheel conversion kit from Cyclotricity

    Yep, 14mm axle and 10mm across the flat. Just noticed the derailleur hangs off an insert that overlaps part of the dropout, so don't really want to file too much off that, the other side could easily have 3 or 4 mm filed into it, but can't do one without the other!! The entire axle fits (just)...
