September 14, 20214 yr I've bought a Scott aspect 960 XL frame I'm wondering what kind of conversion kit I would need. I want something with a lot of speed plus a lot of range also something cheap if not something with long range also want it to be like a tap and go (e scooter)
September 15, 20214 yr High speed, long range and cheap don't go together I'm afraid, what's your budget and what kind of use is the bike for?
September 15, 20214 yr Author My budget is £300 I want something just to travel so Im looking for a long range kit with maybe 20mph or 25pmh
September 15, 20214 yr £300 won't buy much, for most it would just about cover a reasonable battery cost.
September 15, 20214 yr Or what about just a conversation kit for pedal Asist This is what kits are in the main.
September 15, 20214 yr For throttle and 25mph it's easy buy a used moped and not ride an illegal bike conversion, for 25mph you need a very good battery and higher current then most bikes have. None of this comes cheaply.
September 15, 20214 yr [mention=9614]Nealh[/mention] Has the best solution-get an old moped. Any kit you get will not do what you want for your budget. With a moped you will be safer, the brakes are more efficient for 20mph+ speeds and you will not be breaking the law.
September 15, 20214 yr What the most basic conversion kit my budget is 1000 You can get a super motorbike for £1000, forget mopeds go for an nice little 250cc, there are hundreds out there. Much safer and legal.
September 15, 20214 yr Also I will I be able to use my hydrolic brake For £500, you can get a kit which will just about do 20mph on the flat with the wind behind you. Average speed with normal pedalling would be 12 -14 mph., and 8 - 10 mph mph on hills. For £750, you can buy a used 50cc scooter that will do 30 mph and 150 mpg, so running costs are negligible if you maintain it yourself. The £750 includes tax and insurance.
September 15, 20214 yr If you want to go 20mph on the flat but if you change your mind and restrict to 15.5mph to stay legal get this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001697636963.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.4.7e9f2d74OzkTdj
September 17, 20214 yr Author I would like something to go 15mph,rear hub motor with battery any ideas?
September 17, 20214 yr I'd suggest you contact someone like whoosh, who will help you choose a suitable ebike kit for your bike. The back up service and help you will get will save you not only money in the long run, but help with technical issues also.
September 17, 20214 yr Tbh I don't think you will be happy with any ebike you get. First you only wanted to spend £300 and up to 25mph and now you have decide to triple your budget and settle for 15mph. You will be unhappy that you have spent more then you really wanted to and that you can't achieve the speed you need at a continuous rate.

September 17, 20214 yr yes, we do. It's always advisable to send us pictures of: - your bike - handlebars viewed from front - bottom bracket area, bike upside down - tyre dimensions imprinted on the walls of the tyres Let us know also if you are heavy or live in a very hilly area. We'll check and make recommendations such as kits, brake sensors, throttle, pedal sensor, tools etc.
