I bought 8Fun kit and have done nearly 500 miles. Very impressed with the performance. Hills are flatter and no headwinds. Glad you are enjoying yours. What bike did you convert? paul

I do a 26 mile commute. Un assisted I could manage 3 trips per week. With my converted bike I can easily do 5 days. I have a 10Ah battery and only half the lights are out after 26 miles. 13 miles now takes me about 50 mins (was 60 unassisted). I also have some hills to contend with. I would...

I got 313 Do I win?

I understand I am one of the 8% of colour blind men. I see lights others see red lights or green lights. I sometimes do not beleive them lol When I was in manufacturing I got our programmers to flash the lights when they were red. I could then fault find much easier. Never tried the...

Are you thinking of the rider LOL

Dear Dave Very interesting post. How far do you intend to ride. regards paul

Hi Rocket On the chainwheel side the locknut has a flange to trap the pedelec sensor. On the non drive side it is like a big grubscrew (lol). I generaly use the pedelec mode, in trafic and when manouvering I would not like, not to have switches on the brakes. regards paul

Looks good. I glued the speed sensor to the chainring, had to bore out a big clearance hole in the sensor rotor. The sensor bracket then fits between the bottom bracket and the locknut as designed. 8Fun do not mention that you have to remove the locking nut and you need a special tool for this...

Dear Amigifan2003 Just what I want to do, certainly not a bodge. Where did you get the sensor? best regards paul

Dear Tom I converted a Thorn Raven sports tour. I am very happy with mine. How about some photos. Did you put the motor front or back hub? regards paul

Dear Crotchetrocket My 8Fun kit also had a stepped seam on the rim. I just used fine emery and reduced the step. The spokes and rim are quite agricultural and intend to change the rim to a Rhino in the next few weeks. best of luck with fitting, hope youhave enough clearance for the pedelec...

I have fitted the 8Fun kit to my bike. I do not use the throttle much, generally I use the pedelec mode. I would not be happy, not to have the switched brake levers. If I am in trafic I can pull the brake lever just so it stops the motor and then pedal under my own power until I can increase...
