Has anyone calculated the power loss due to having to coil the spare cable around the frame. I should imagine its extremly small but who knows? paul

I was fairly quick to realise what was happening and managed to lift front wheel off the floor. paul

The first one shows the pedelec sensor The second shows my replacement forks The third shows the motor.

Here is one photo, I will load some more if this works

I have just bought a bottle battery. Maimly because it keeps the centre of gravity low. BUT what a weight. I have worries about the fateners and the mounting frame surviving. Also it rattles about in the mount. Think I have cured that with a strip of inner tube, I have also put a cable tie...

My bike has a Rohlof hub gear. When you push the bike the pedals rotate in all gears. I put a conversion kit on yesterday. This has never caused me any problems - except the occasional bang on the leg It does now, when it is set on the pedelec the bike disapears into the distance. Gave me quite...

Dear All I have just fitted a conversion kit to my bike. I checked that the motor cut out when I stopped pedaling and or operated the brake levers. In industrial safety circuits any safety device is usually hard wired and does not go through a PLC or computor. On Bike controllers does...

I changed the fork just to be on the safe side. The fork is fairly old and I am not too sure what forces a hub motor would impart on it. I put on a Thorn twin plate beast of a fork. paul

Welcome John I am not an OAP yet. I have been using Brookes saddles for years, I have three. I bought them off e bay, two were used and one was new. I did not have a problem "breaking" them in; but it is important that they are adjusted correctly. I see too many saddles with the nose up, I...

I could fit this one, looks sturdy enough Thorn 531 Steel 1 1/8 Inch Twin Plate Fork regards Paul

I am sure you are right about carbon forks - I always wonder about their life. I do not have the room for another bike - so the thought of a project on one of them will end up like another new bike - if you know what I mean. I want to keep fit so only want to use the electric power to assist me...

Thanks for the input. I need the bike to be used as a non electric bike and I think a ready made one will be too dificullt to ride on un assisted. Also I have too many bikes - did I really say that!!!! I want to put a front hub motor in the bike. After seeing the post about another conversion of...

Dear All I bought my LAST bike just over a year ago. It was bought on the understanding that this was my last one. I commute three times a week, 13 mile each way. I do not have the energy to do more. So I am thinking of converting one of my bikes to a front drive hub motor. They...

Dear Mato I was overtaken by a lady on her E bike. She slowed to have a chat, she was a district nurse and used the bike to make visits. There was no basket on the front lol. Was to exhausted to notice what type it was. When we got the the crest I managed to leave her standing. I was impressed...
