So the controllers need to get so many pulses before powering the motor? One thing that's bothered me is what if I'm stopped without holding the brake and flick the pedals back a touch and get a pulse signal sent, does the power kick in straight away ?

Am currently on the search for spokes. If I end up with ones a mm or 2 too long is it ok to file them down from the inside? i.e better to be too long than too short, I mean what size tolerance are they ok with from a spoke calc prog?

@amigafan2003 whats the ERD of the 700c A319 rim, I've just ordered one and have found 2 possibilities and what spoke pattern is used ?

Will the MXUS happily push me along rapidly if I go the 700c hybrid route or should I really be looking at an MTB instead for this motor?

great, thanks d8veh Will be in touch. I am off to look at bikes later, will the motor fit hybrid bikes or what gap will the wheel need to fit into.

Yes I would like one of those kits, sound ok for someone my size but I have not decided on a bike yet so you would have to hold it for me until I decide and find out the wheel size. How do I contact you for payment etc ?

I tend to have a habit of purchasing overprecced products for what ever it is I need with the assumption they will do what they do easier and last longer but you've got me thinking this is not the case with this project. My choice of motor was because of that and I prefer the idea of rear wheel...

Thanks for a great reply, I have read it a couple times and probably will a couple more. Your clearly highly skilled in the subject. So power=num of watts produced at motor to spin at required rpm to get my desired speed and amps=power drawn by the motor from the battery to produce this power...

I'm more mechanical than electrical so am having to learn about the electrics side of things and have been tinkering on the hub motor ebike.ca simulator. For my 1st build I'm considering overspeccing it for reliability and longevity. So hypothetically if I have a 500w motor running at 100% on...

It looks like I have a new hobby. It all began with me moving house soon, closer to work and give myself the challenge of cycling regularly. The problem is I have not sat on a bike for about 20years, am not overweight but am alot unfitter than I look, so checking out expensive quality racer...
