Yes I agree Indalo - the choice is prety good right now - I'm swaying between the Haibike (I found Ebay in Germany has every model and some on auction not just buy it now - also Singapore Ebay has some) - then the Neo Cross which really is a nice looking bike - then of course there is the...

OK thanks - seems odd that you might get charged VAT and import duty..... I would have thought you either do or you dont! Anybody know how much import duty is? At this rate its going to be almost as cheap to get a kit from a UK stockist and avoid the hassle...

These guys also sell look-like-a-water-bottle batteries too..... bottle ebike battery Has anybody used these people before? They look pretty legit - any views anybody?

OK this link should work: This oneRoller Brake Bike Conversion Kit

Like take for example this kit: http://www.bmsbattery.com/ebike-kits/449-roller-brake-bike-conversion-kit.html It seems like for £82 plus shipping (which will be what another £80?) I get an electric bike so long as I already have a 36V battery to wire it up to......

Obviously I am also thinking I will need a wheel with a 250W motor in it. I did think that too. Honest.

Ok please correct me if I'm wrong.... but..... To convert my (other) bike to electric all I need is any 36V battery (I am soon to have a spare one of those) - any 36V 250W controller (they seem pretty easy to get hold of on ebay) - and any 36v? throttle? Yes? So long as they're all...

Thanks Dave. I'm talking to an Ian there right now and have just asked him exactly that question - I thought you might be near a bike - on my Oxygen it has the EN15194 and 250W written on the frame - I'm curious to see whats on the Neo bike. Also - I will probably be coming down to you in...

Wow. Now that's what I call a through answer! Excellent. Thanks. As I said to Dave I think its important that the EN15194 is stamped on the bike and/or it says 250W on the bike - so that a copper does not have to think too hard about putting the handcuffs on.

Thanks Dave - glad you've cleared up the fact that you're allowed to own more than one electric bike - I was worried there for a moment. I'm still not 100% clear on the exact law around all this - but the more I read the more I think thats pretty common. What concerns me is mr Plod seeing...

Thanks for your responses. Flecc you sound like you know what you're talking about. I would be risking a possible jail term if this is wrong - so you can understand me wanting to have a good answer! I notice even on my 250W Oxygen it says 'peak' power comes in at a bit over 500W - so I assume...

Thanks for all your thoughts - I just spent half an hour and its sorted now. Basically it just needed adjusting - a few twiddles here and a few twiddles there and no more squeak. I must say compared to the only two other brakes I've played around with (ie changed the pads) - being a Yamaha...

Hi all, I just saw the BH Emotion Neo Cross - looks really neat - see here: BH Emotion Neo Cross Electric Bike Review - YouTube and BH Emotion Neo Cross What I need to know is - does anybody know if its legal - they say it has a 350W motor 'limited to 250W'. Is that allowed? Is that...

Hi there, I've been riding an Oxygen e-mate for 3 months now and generally very happy with it - the range is excellent (70 miles once) and quality generally excellent. One thing cropped up yesterday - no idea why - the front brake started to give off a pretty loud squeek but only when the...

Well I have had this Oxygen emate for 3 months now - charged the battery 6 times - done a total of 400 miles and here's some thoughts. Quality - very good - no problems at all with the bike. Range - excellent - I once got nearly 70 miles on one charge Looks - not bad but that battery is a...

Thanks Flecc and Eagle rider. Yes I've noticed my R1 was a tad quicker - but heck its nice not to be constantly worried about the men in blue huh? YOu can almost do what you like on these things and nobody seems to care! (well within reason of course). Anything but be toed to buses for the...

Hi there. Having just lost my licence - there's two journeys I just cant do on public transport (I'm in London) - one to the local park for a walk (4 miles there and 4 miles back) - and then to the sports club I go work out (2 miles). And I dont want to cycle becuase there is a big hill I...
