    BBS01 Cube SL Road Pro conversion and long distance commuting

    So Specialised Sirrus purchased, 8fun 250w crank motor fitted, new tyres and other bits and bobs and we're off. (£880 all in) Two 17 mile commutes done averaging an hour a time and some around town short jaunts completed without drama. My system has a 3 speed setting and I have been using it...

    Another UK source for the Bafang BBS01/02 mid drive kits

    I can't seem to find the BBS01 in stock anywhere, did a container slip off the last ship from the Far East? Anyone know of stock in the UK?

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    Tried the Momentum, not enough gearing for me, feels like it's designed for riding in the Netherlands, am going self-build, wish me luck and thanks for your guidance.

    Ok that's good to know, I will be starting my build as soon as the kit arrives so will post progress and compare notes if that's ok?

    Hi Curious to know how you are averaging 19mph and if the bike gives you any drag after reaching 15-17 mph?

    2016 Woosh Karoo hub drive

    How did it feel after exceeding 15 mph? My issue with all road legal bikes I have tried is that as soon as I hit 16-17 mph it feels like I am dragging my old Raleigh Chopper up Mt Snowdon.

    Thanks Trex, looks good if a little heavier. What IS your association with Woosh btw?

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    Not wanting to buy a folder, don't consider the Gocycle as folder either as it requires dismantling. My road bike does this with ease, but my fitness levels are declining so the ride is too long to be practicable daily. I am going to try the Momentum Upstart this weekend as a pre-built option.

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    When you say there are plenty of choices for the same budget could you direct me to some of them? Thanks

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    It is a couple of miles of firm off road paths and then road, so a hybrid would be ideal. The Gocycle appealed because it provided a smooth transmission of power without drag after hitting the limit and was relatively light. I read the thread on long distance commuting and I am not that...

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    Thanks for your help. Not particularly wanting a small wheeled bike, but the relative lightness of the bike and the power distribution on the Gocycle worked for me and there was less of a drag post 15-17 mph due its relative lightness. I will have a look at the above and report back :7)

    250-500w or 1000w kit?

    hi I am diving into the world of e-bikes. So far the only one that has made sense is the Gocycle but cannot afford this and I have a 34 mile round trip commute. Will be doing road with a little bit of riverside path. So my plan is to go for a hybrid (trek or carrera) 700c wheels standard alu...
