Fair enough I admit I have no experience with either brand and my comment was a generalisation as most e-bikes can be hacked.

I'll call in at the vets on Monday and use theirs, they won't mind as I spend a small fortune there.

The current limit is not accessible in the setting parameters. Changing to MPH was simple, but I couldn't weigh anything as my scales need two feet on them before the will give a reading.

The Shengyi DW22 hub motor on the Camino has a decent amount of torque at 50nm, so would be a good budget choice. It doesn't matter what make or type of ebike you have they can all be deristricted. However unless you have an electric motorcycle you won't be riding up a steep hill at 20mph. It's...

I'll have a look at the current limit settings, though I doubt it will make any difference. I can't imagine it would, as the current is already limited by the resistance of the stator coils. Maybe upping the current limit will just produce more heat than torque. I'll give it a shot, but it's...

Absolutely I'll update you when I get to ride it properly tomorrow. Thanks for the reply, having thought more about the battery the bike is said to weigh 17 KG without the battery and 24 KG with the battery attached which I don't believe either. I'll weigh both tomorrow.

I did wonder about that as it's the same size as the 10AH model. Time will tell, I might weigh it and compare it to my Bosch 625WH Powertube.

I mean the front brake is on the left and not the right.

So in the end I made the decision to buy an Engwe C20 Pro at just under £900. I assembled it this evening and rode it for half a mile. The frame is very well sized for a larger rider and it's amazing value for the performance. 250 watt Bafang hub motor and a 36 volt 19.2 AH battery. There are a...

Thank you both for replying. I think I'll go and sit on one at Decathlon or just buy an unpowered bike and convert it.

Around £1K, I don't want a Brompton, just something for occasional use. I would need an XL frame and range would be fine at 30 miles. I weigh 101KG so I'm heavy, which can destroy range and bikes in general.

Hi everyone, I am doing a lot of mileage in my Hyundai Kona Electric for work. I work in the EV charging industry as a Senior Project Manager so have lots of clients to see all over the country. I have an Orbea Wild FS as my main ebike but would like to take one travelling with me in the car...

Forgot to mention the grips great on tarmac and trails as long as you keep out of deep mud.

No problem, I’d still recommend you use sealant as well, it just gives you an extra level of security and confidence.

If you want a bell that really works you need one of these Crane Bell Suzu Brass Bicycle Bell with Steel Band Mount https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KFCYUYK/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_Q2DFKFVXFB8EGHQ2FX5V When I ride with my son he always tells me to ring the bell when approaching pedestrians out on the...

Hi Richard, It depends where you are going to leave it. If you are going to leave an ebike all day somewhere it doesn't matter what you do it will be stolen. As others have mentioned, portable battery angle grinders will have your security removed in second. At home in my garage I have a...

I'm not sure if I've already posted in this thread. I started e-biking in 2018 aged 57. My local council loaned me a Raleigh e bike for two months and I'd not ridden a cycle since I was 15. I was instantly hooked and did my 14 mile round trip commute every day. Once the loan was over I got a...

Hi Phil, I'm riding my third e-bike since I originally bought one in 2018. My first bike was a Cube Hybrid Pro 400. After having a bad crash off road I realised it was the wrong bike for me. The forks had some ridiculous amount of travel like 63 mm and the frame couldn't accommodate a wider tyre...
