I was deleting it to protect the seller, as it was a genuine mistake on their part that they amended. However if you want to re add the link as you have done then what can I do about it.

FYI. I actually edited the post before I saw the reply. VFR400 was probably replying at the time, as he does spend most of his time on here and was quick off the mark. I also did thank him for his reply none the less. Second. The post was about a business that I have now contacted and the...

Thanks vfr400, but seller has sorted the info now. Motors are stamped 350w. They were apparently misinformed. I'll leave it at that.

Admin please delete or ignore this post.

I currently have Woosh's fat bike kit on one of my bikes with the same battery, so once I find a suitable bike for her, I'll have a play about with placement. Cheers.

Thanks for that, this was what I originally had in mind, but I couldn't visualize it as google image search didn't seem to show anything appropriate. While it would be nice to have it lower for a lower centre of gravity, I guess it isn't really any higher than having it on a rear rack.

vfr400 is dead right, this type can and has damaged frames, if you do a search there's a few posts about it, sadly including mine. Dave. yeah it wasn't expensive, but mine doesn't have a lot of weight on it. Just carrying some bike tools, tube, repair kit, sun glasses, that sort of thing. Will...

Good point. Guess I'm going to have to think about this a bit more and see exactly what she wants to get a better picture of best how to proceed. Maybe see if she can cope with a slightly higher top tube that is still low like my fat bike or accept a full rear rack that I can modify to accept...

mmmm? I wonder? I have a rear rack that has a 10kg max load and attaches to the seat post (it's on my fat bike). The rack is screwed to a long post, so the rack part can be removed leaving the horizontal post only. I could possibly mount the downtube battery to that with numerous rivnuts...

Problem is she wants to tackle a steep hill to her house after shopping and wants a trailer as well, oh and basket!. It also has to be 250w legal, she's an ex cop...... So I'm looking at one of the 48v Woosh kits with downtube battery. Pretty limited given the requirements.

A female friend has asked me to build her an ebike. Problem is she wants a ladies bike with the deep step through. I don't want to mount the battery to a rear rack, as the kit I'm looking at comes with a tube mounted battery. Would putting it on the top tube be OK? I realise that that would...

Hi, yeah I have those in my spares box, but as you say they don't work with Hydraulic brakes as they can not fit next to them due to the reservoir. I'm 95% sure that the ones I noted will work, just wanted conformation before I bought the shifter and cassette. Think I'll just do it anyway, as...

So, got my fat ebike up and running great. However the previous owner fitted a 7 speed SRAM MRX Comp twist shifter. On the trails I'm riding I accidently change gear occasionally when riding over bumpy surfaces, so they have to go. The bike is fitted with hydraulic brakes, so will need...

Hi Tony, just one question. My 26" fat bike wheel/tyre measures just a bit over 28" high, should I set the wheel size to something like 700c or keep it at 26". Will I have a more accurate speed reading either way?

UPDATE: finally got the cassette yesterday and the bike is now complete and I have to say I'm very happy so far and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The 48v G06 motor is excellent and the bike pulls very hard and there's plenty of torque for even the steepest hill. Just a few notes for...
