Hi, I would be interested in buying your vruzend kit if you'd still like to sell it? thanks jon

Ok, thats great. Thanks for your help.

ok, thanks Dave. The controller that came with the kit has the serial number: kt 36svpr-xd15d if that helps? Its rated at 7A , max 15A, speed set 1-4.2v I guess I'm hoping to buy one that is likely to be reliable, quality wise.

I'm intending to build a battery using 18650 cells using a Vruzend kit, for my ongoing xiongda 2 speed build. I can buy one with the kit, but I'm having trouble getting a response from Vruzend at the moment. I've located some BMS's from china, but by the time I've added postage, they come in...

Righto, thanks d8veh. The bike has v brakes so hopefully won't be effected. I like the idea of a dishless rear wheel. I wonder if xiongda still do the 135mm rim brake version? Back too the controllers supplied by xiongda, is one better than the other for limiting climbing speed without gnerating...

I am drawn towards the xiongda hub. I'm not sure why it appeals, I think it might be the idea that it can be run at close to its ideal rpm, but still go up the hill quite slowly with lots of torque to spare in this application. This would probably be handy if we use the bike in the UK, as the...

Thanks for all your input, definitely food for thought. I read your link with interest whoosh. It was good to see some people climbing similar mountains to what I have in mind. So what I've taken in so far is: 1) a hub motor is capable of this sort of work without overheating if it is run at...

I'm not sure how actively they check ebikes, I guess even if they aren't doing it now, they may do in the future. You rarely see them at all in the mountains.

Thanks for replying Neath. I'll check out the swx02. I've done a bit of reading on here and ES and was wondering about the xiongda dual speed hub? Also I like your suggestion of keeping to around 250w , as I can't move very fast anyway, so I guess torque instead of speed makes sense. Do you...

Hi Everyone, just joined the forum and would like some advice if possible. So, I'm a fit cyclist who likes to go cycle touring with my better half. She, however is a lot less fit, but does ok on the flat. We've done some nice easy tours along some of the rivers in France, and we manage to...
