    dahon folder conversion - fast and light

    I have done similar with my Moulton - although it’s not really a folder. Installed Magura brakes - a really decent upgrade, but quite fiddly to adjust at first. I went with a Tonsheng mid motor to complement a nexus 8 rear hub. In all honesty it’s not a perfect setup as you described to keep a...

    Advice choosing battery

    Hi there I've taken the plunge and purchased a TSDZ 2 motor (36v) and after a lot of reading then measuring I'm looking to purchase a suitable battery pack. My commute is 12 miles each way My bike is a Moulton that I'm converting and it has limited options for the standard dolphin type packs...

    Tonsheng TSDZ2

    Its good to hear that the kit is quality. I'm just concerned about placing an order as their webpage and Facebook site hasn't been updated in a year and they arnt answering emails. Unfortunately I'm struggling to find an alternative supplier in the UK

    Tonsheng TSDZ2

    Oh well - sounds like they should be given a swerve then. It's either Amazon with an unproven seller or a alternative mid drive - I was quite keen on a torque sensor.

    Tonsheng TSDZ2

    im looking to purchase one of these mid drives and I was wondering if anyone has had any recent dealings with the folk at ebike-sales.co.uk? I have tried to message them a couple of times and had no reply and their pages haven't been updated in a while - I would prefer to purchase via someone...

    Moulton conversion

    I'm still swithering between a rear hub or a mid drive (i'm not going to start messing with the front forks due to the unique suspension system). The torque sensors on a mid drive are more likely to suit my riding style and I have some long hills on my route to work. They are a fair bit more...

    Moulton conversion

    Thats an impressive set up - although a rolloff hub coupled with an ARCC system on a Moulton would not last long as my commuter - I would be afraid to use it and I couldn't leave it anywhere in Edinburgh! My FX8 is the rigid frame - I never saw the point of splitting the frame for my usage.

    Moulton conversion

    Wow - it looks like a really interesting system, but that is a steep price to pay for it - it would take several years to pay off a the commute! I did have a look at your tandem and was very impressed - does the central section demount?

    Moulton conversion

    Thanks - I have done some online looking and the Q100 only seems available as a US import? Do you know of any UK importers (I would prefer some sort of guarantee for a first time build!) Other builds have used a mid motor - it looks a bit more expensive and fiddly to put together, but has the...

    Moulton conversion

    Hi there I'm looking for some expert guidance in the world of bike conversions. I have recently moved job and am finding the public transport options frustrating as it appears to take an abnormal time to travel 6 miles through the city centre. I have a Moulton FX8 sitting in the garage and I was...
