Great - thanks for the explanations - I'm not sure I completely understand why I can't set up a throttle to be legal with the tongshen but I can with the hub motor, but I'd be a long time looking for a guard around here so it's a minor concern at the moment!

Thanks for your response, that's good to know about the battery. Yes, I don't fold it as it is, I have a skoda roomster with the seats out so I manage to fit it in upright with a little jiggery pokery. But I do wonder if the added weight will just make it prohibitive, in which case it would make...

Hi guys, just looking to see if I’m going in the right direction here. Most relevant facts are that I live in a hilly area (West Cork, Ireland) and I like to put my bike in the car - so I want to keep it as light as possible. After reading loads of threads and much deliberation, I’ve decided to...

Hi, I have an electric bike kit I no longer need as I am now fit enough to do all the cycling I want without it. There is a problem with it, and i'll try to explain it. The power cuts out occasionally. The last time it did that, it turned out that some of the connections needed to be...

I try to do most of my shopping on the bike, the motor makes the 10 mile, hilly round trip much more attractive. However, since putting up a polytunnel last year, i rarely seem to have to shop more often than i am otherwise out with the car. On sunny days i find myself looking around for...

i thought this be of interest to some of you, cycling holidays/ exploring e-bikes in Ireland. It's a bit drab looking to my eyes, i guess they didn't get the weather.YouTube - GoEco on RTE's Nationwide showing Europe's first electric bike holidays

Another variable to consider when assessing the overall environmental impact of electric bikes is all the extra trips we take just because it's easy and fun. I just went for a spin around the block - four miles of hilly countryside - something i would rarely willingly undertake previously, but...

also, you don't seem to have factored in the cost of fuel:confused:

yes, sorry, i think i misunderstood what you were looking for, i'm not sure i still quite understand but maybe this link could help, Das Elektrorad von Frank Scheftlein: Komplette Pedelec- / Elektrofahrrad Umbausätze und Ersatzteile von Bafang, Puma (eZee), Tongxin u.a..

try alienocean.co.uk and "sunlova" (maybe they're only on ebay), they've both been mentioned several times on this forum.

Hi guys, thanks for all the advice - and the picture. I think i will probably go with the tried and tested, i.e., sjs. I initially ruled it out because of postage costs, (€32 for just the motor from this side of the irish sea), but they say they can send it back wheel and all for 11stg. So...

thanks, i might call them tomorrow, just to clarify, i'm in Ireland, so having them do the build is probably not an option.

Hello, i wonder if somebody could advise me on a wheel building project? i have a bafang motor that needs to be built into a wheel. I have spokes, but they are assuming an alex101 rim which i can't seem to source here. From some conversations with bike shops, it seems that there are enough...

why did i choose them? that's actually not such an easy question, and i'm not sure how much of it is relevant to your situation - but just to provide insight into the various routes by which we make our decisions, here goes i had been reading this forum for some time, and thought the system...

I just bought a kit from CleanRepublic in Seattle, (warehouse in North Dakota) i can't vouch for it yet as i have ordered the kit without the wheel - to avoid huge postage charges to ireland, and it will probably be several weeks before i'm set to go - but that wouldn't be an issue for you. I...
