Maybe just look at getting an add on battery rather than a complete new bike. A spare battery that you can swap over to so that you get that extra bit of range.

It should realistically have increased torque by 25% as electric motor's have a linear torque line with increased amp's. It should be quicker. I can understand not wanting to push the smaller motor from say a peak of 504 watt peak (42v x 12amp) appx. To 672 watt peak (42v x 16amp). Not...

On the back of this I've ended up buying a Cree 502B 1000 lumen. Which for £21 of ebay from a UK seller is only a couple of pound more than the Hong Kong seller. Well the HK seller throws in another 18650 cell and a double charger rather than a single charger and battery. Can't complain...

Whats the cost? I might take two depending on the cost. It would be good to make a quick release rear wheel instead of having to uncable tie the power wires. Almost wish it took a bit more than 20 amp though as thats right on the edge for me.

Agree 100%

I have mudguards but haven't fitted them back on. They tend to get in the way as there only the cheap ones which once you go over a few bumps tend to drift out of alignment. I probably should get some more but I wear the correct clothing not to be bothered by rain. Never thought about a rear...

Crank drive ones are multiplied through the gearing so appear much higher than hub drives for the same 250w charateristics. Crank Drives generally have better hill climbing abilities due to the fact you can use the gearing.

I think you'll be happy with the BPM. Quite a robust geared motor as long as you don't go to mad with it. As i've said in previous posts the clutch can sometimes stick on. This has only happened a couple of times but other than that its been fine. Let see how it copes during the winter.

Indeed it's possible to be quicker unassisted. However doing it everyday is a chore. Cycling if a much nicer ordeal when you know it's ok to get tired and still get home. I averaage 14mph when riding unassisted when commuting. This is on busy roads in burmingham at peak times. Now I'm sure I...

It's more so the hills where it helps. On the flat with little wind resistance or down hill a normal road bike will be quicker.

I go past and then usually they tuck behind me and use my draft to help cut some of the wind. I don't mind that. After all I'm cheating lol. Still it's nice to know you can have a bit of assistance and decrease my travel time. I enjoy unpowered riding too. But the powered assistance just makes...

Afternoon All, Just a quick report to say i've been messing around with my very very messy bike again. Its taking a bit of a beating as we are now getting into some rubbish weather. Anyway a few of you may remember I posted a topic on V brake health Anyway Alan from Just1bikes got in...

Must second the wheel building. Imkept the same rim but brought new spokes and I wouldn't say I'm the best at wheel building. But I've not had a problem since. No punctures, no flex, comfortable ride and everything is slightly dished nicely. All these little bits do sound like alot but there...

I don't think it would be a problem as the packs would try to equalise. Same when add or removing lipo bricks. As long as the voltages are similar it will be ok. It's when you start changing the voltages that it then starts to short out. The Bms would naturally keep all the cells in each pack...

I'd be interested in a bike. Mainly to give to the wife for her to use round town when she can't be bothered to walk.

It can definetly be done. Look at other ebikes on the market that have additional 8ah batteries added to the 10ah batteries. As long as they have the same voltage it will work. However becasue most ebike batteries come with a BMS attached it limits the flexibility to just wire in additional...

Good skills. Let us know how you get on!

Could you not just ask for some samples to be sent through so you can evaluate if its the right product and quality??

Damn straight its great wearing lycra. Scares all sorts of people. Espcially if you get off your bike and start thrusting in there general direction. Some good winter products posted here.

But the tight fitting stuff is mega comfortable. And you Scare Kids!
