    Advice on new ebike

    48volts and very big battery, seatpost suspension and a pair of padded underwear make every bike fun. Geared hub motor with min 5:1 or mid drive, some cheap but heavy rad power bikes on site with 22” wheels look fun just over a grand, Halfords do one for grand as well...

    Hub motor wheel building

    If you are lucky and find a good chap at Halfords he will order you the right spokes, if you unlucky the staff are all young and not have a clue if you ask the staff they will direct you to a store with a long term employee who knows.

    Geared hubs Bafang 311 vs 8 fun 5:1

    BLEvo great display app

    Hi. I hope the developer will add ANT+ for biker power to the app if it’s worth his while. it is a great app that works for non electronic Bikes but only fully lights but connected to a specialized Bluetooth. I posted on his forum “bike BLEvo is too good not to become the standard interface at...
