    I don't do any sizes - I'm merely a (very) satisfied customer.

    What to do about the controller bag?

    I second the suggestion to get a box rather than bag. I specified the box with my Panda kit and it fits neatly on the rear of the seat tube in the triangle between the mudguard, the seat stays and the seat tube. It's discreet and with the addition of insulating tape round the join has been...

    Could someone recommend kit suppliers/options for me?

    Worth getting in touch with Panda http://www.pandaebikes.com/- I can confirm a "yes" to 6/7 of your questions. My answers inside your quoted post below. Ollie and Maria at Panda have been promptly responsive to any of my queries and I would happily recommend based on my experience.

    printer advice

    I agree with the advice here about a mono laser - but I'd stick with the Canon brand if I were you - there are i-SENSYS models around the £100 mark

    Which kit?

    Rob - My 250w front hub kit came from Panda for my Dawes Hybrid and I have been delighted with their service both before and after purchase.

    Torque washer on cyclotricty front kit

    Here's my blog post on Torque Arms - very much a "work it out for yourself" post rather than an expert position - but it may help http://terrygibson.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/converting-my-dawes-sonoran-to-e-bike_19.html

    Panda Conversion kit - fitted to Dawes Sonoran

    You're right, originally had 700x32 tyres - now 700x37. The mudguard clearance on the rear is fine but was a bit tight on the front and kept rubbing. Just a matter of getting round to fitting something suitable.

    Panda Conversion kit - fitted to Dawes Sonoran

    Further to my earlier posts asking inane questions in the "What shall I buy" sub-forum, here's a link to my blog detailing the conversion of my Dawes Sonoran with a Panda front hub motor kit. I've only ridden a few miles so far - I'll write more once I have completed my 10 mile commute into...

    Panda Conversion Kits

    Following their post offering a January discount on their kits, I looked at their website offering. Although my plan up to now had been to buy a new e-bike, their price appears compelling enough to allow me to "dip my toe in the water" by converting my Dawes Sonoran in a manner that would...

    Shortlist down to 2 (Orbea/Wisper) - Thoughts/Comments

    Can't argue with that John - although I am concious that I don't want to be a time-waster. I have really only been testing for how the bike(s) pull away from a standing start and how they pull up a short hill. I really need to understand how they behave on the flat especially at or near the...

    Shortlist down to 2 (Orbea/Wisper) - Thoughts/Comments

    OK, the shortlist's up to three and now includes the Heinzamnn Pan E-TR (thanks for the test ride John). So as others have suggested I widen my search, I'm ready to listen to suggestions - but unlike before when I hadn't even ridden a pedelec I now have some points of reference - so I have a...
