    Best £1500-2000, derestrictable e-bike?

    ...Haibike was bought with a dingle and I could average 20 mph with it, even on my off road curcuit, but range doing so was 18 miles. (and with dongle fitted it's an unregistered, untaxed, uninsured motorbike) I don't understand why folk do this. They look into pedelecs but expect them to...

    Durable Mountain/City Bike around £2000-3000.

    ...cx motor batt and kiox now has a dpx2 rear shock it is under 24kg with a carbon seat post and can hit 40mph on the flat. new bike means no dongle and limited chain ring size and even more waight and more expensive locked down batts. it has lasted 8 years and no reason it wont last another 8...

    ...what I should expect exactly. @soundwave What is your bike mate? I'm curious after people mentioned it here. I've narrowed it down to the Wayfarer H9 without ever trying to derestrict, Haibike with a dongle derestriction or a custom conversion build... Not sure if this got easier or harder hah.

    no just if you want faster speeds the batt will need to be bigger my bike is 24kg and no point in trying to ride it past the 15mph cut off as like hitting a brick wall just with a dongle the range will suffer depending how fit you are and what mode you use.

    Durable Mountain/City Bike around £2000-3000.

    i still had the dongle on but with m8s on normal bikes but there super fit so if i did not have a dongle id be left for dust. i get 25-30 miles if i floor it tho at 120rpm i can hit near 40mph but cant have speed and range yet and my hips are fooked at that rpm.

    for commuting, you should consider a hub motor and puncture proof tyres. They require the least maintenance and likely have lower depreciation. If you want to derestrict your bike, then consider a conversion. For long distance, cadence sensor has the advantage over torque sensor because you can...

    Fair enough. Is the Haibike a good option then? Regardless of the dongle I'd rather have a good and reliable bike. Which of the 4 options would be best and if none any other suggestions?

    Even if I don't go for the derestricting in the end which one of the 4 do you think would fit more for my criteria? Or maybe some other one? It would be nice to have the option to have full speed but even without id rather have a good choice in my price range.

    Fit a dongle to the highbike to derestrict it, the battery will last less so 50km might be ok but not 80km. If BP sticks to 32km/h then he might be ok for 50km.

    well with the haibike if you fit a dongle the range will be about 25-30 miles depending how fit you are with a 500w batt. for the range you want id look at bikes with a 20ah size batt or 1000w+

    Bosch Smart system with Speedbox 1.0b (Don't buy)

    Sent dongle back to 2 wheel empire and waiting for the new pear tune moo version 4. Bosch told me to ride in limp mode up to 90 mins (not all at once, and it clears error). I can do this up to 3 times before dealer intervention. It's a pain in the arse, but ill not update anymore and see how get...

    Restricted vs De-Restricted Haibike 6

    ...the speed limit set buy the software or how do you think i can hit those speeds. plus try find a mtb with a sclass motor as you wont find many and a dongle will be faster anyway. down side is it nukes the batts range to half and if you crash it will be a hospital job. and im still not...

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    ...fkn bonkers lol. to them my bike is a fossil but it can go faster than all of them because my bike is shorter and lighter and geared to go 40 mph. most new bikes you cant even put a bigger front sprocket on them so a dongle would be useless anyway as mine is like a 52t normal size chain ring.

    ...? did you have any firmware updates to the bike ? a dealer can reset it but it is not clear at all how many times this can be done but any dongle that is wired in to the bikes motor could be bricked buy the new smart system. a bad ass dongle whould be the best bet as it just sits on the...

    20mph?!

    It's is the way for extra speed even SW with a dongle has to pedal like the clappers to get the extra speed .

    Should I buy it?

    I'm not racing around at silly speeds but I like the dongle because it stops the power cutting out, keeps things nice and smooth.

    Should I buy it?
