sorry to flag this up again, but could you say which packs specifically you thought would be good amigafan (I looked at hobby king but am too noob to see which to get), many thanks

many thanks for the review, I have a hase tagun and have ordered a 328 rpm bafang bpm2 rear hub kit for it - its great to have some reference for what to expect

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-deore-m615-disc-brake-caliper/rp-prod112313 would do nicely

one thing I did was to replace the front disc brake with a hydraulic calliper (£30 or so from chainreactioncycles), derestricting encourages generally travelling faster one would normally and brakes become much more crucial

hypothetically, a 95kg unfit bloke like me could average 20 to 24 with medium to fast pedalling (it's a hypothetical hoot too, around 24 mph the front wheel get's a little light..)

strictly for what its worth, id get a trailer and pedelec (something like a kalkhoff) then you'd have serious grunt and speed and offroad ability and quality and the flexibility to have a standalone pedelec when not travelling with the terriers..

I wish a moderator would sensor this kind of commercial self promotion on the forum, it doesn't add, a thing, to my experience of e bikes..

it's a very subjective thing, but I like the cycling part - a pedelecs is to me a bionically enhanced version of a pre-war sunbeam roadster - something that provides Olympic levels of performance from the kind of gentle input one might give a roadster on the way to the pub, so no in my case the...

hypothetically no, the only heating of the motor occurs - again hypothetically - on steep hills in low gears - at which I don't think the derestriction would play any role

I, hypothetically, could get 30 miles on a derestricted santa ana cd (TCM) with 15 aH battery bopping along at around 20mph..

for this first self build I have a total budget of £300..many thanks all for the helpful advice

given that it includes a built 20 wheel with motor..

many thanks for info, will look at battery next, ive ordered a 328 rpm kit for a 20 wheel but have to mention that delivery adds about £100, though it still seems relatively cheap

many thanks, that clarifies things (though the number of leads parallel, series and balancing, suggests a vast amount of soldiering to me)

one absolutely last question - on a hase tagun (long wheel base recumbent with size 20 wheels, 8 speed casette, marathon plus') would on go for the 328 rpm or 260rpm motor if one wanted a top speed of around 20mph and good hill climbing? many thanks

many thanks, 500 cycles on a 666 wH pack is at least two years plus in my life, so, while not ideal, survivable..

sorry - one last thinig - how many cycles does one get out of lipos and what does "fixing them" involve? many thanks

thanks for teh wheeltruing link, ive bene just tightening, pinging them and dodging potholes so far..

thanks for the helpful info, its all very affordable, do lipos give on eteh 800 or so charge cycles typical batteries claim to? more generally i wildly wish you guys woudl become less fundamentalist Many thanks, that seems affordable, heres to hoping lipos can do 800 charge cycles. I'm afraid...

i (genuinely) dont mean to inflame this thread more (it's getting pretty hot), but - i thought shorter spokes were stronger than longer spokes? i have q rohloff bromptomn i have gratuitously abusing for years without ever even thinking about whether its short spokes might be loose (and their...
