EEK! 30% damn... Thought it was more 10% ish based on reading other threads.. More torque more likely to shift the load better I guess? Probably for discussion another time but is there any particular reason it seems hard to find the MXUS motors (or 48v motors) in the UK? Find it wierd can...

@Amps Electric Bikes is there anyone in the Manchester area who would carry 705se? I'm building one for myself but the better half wants to get in on the fun but is concerned that she may not be able to get her leg over without a lot of pain due to suffering from fibromyalgia. You may get a...

Hmm will have to give that a try... the email I sent to was E-mail:panjun@mxusebikekit.com. @d8veh How does the kit suggested by whoosh seem in comparison to the one you suggested? One thing I have found frustrating finding ‘the right kit’ is the amount of either 36v offerings (and usually...

Sorry for not replying to this thread sooner, work and the usual home "DIY" before christmas requests got in the way... Based on that kit @Woosh I assume it should be ok with the 'load' it's going to have to shift? Based on bike and assuming kit is roughly 6kg it's going to need to assist...

Ahh! Doh feel like a right dunce now! Was looking for a store or something, didn’t think to email them direct! I have looked at a few other kits unfortunately I left the links at work to see if they may be as good?

Well I haven't given up searching for a kit (I won't say the perfect kit as everyone has their own ideas of what is perfect!) had hoped there might have been some black friday deals but unfortunately not. I still haven't tracked down the MXUS motor d8veh suggested in the second post, google...

Sorry yes should have put the weight in ‘new money’ 137kg rather than my weigh in figure, I blame slimming world they still work in stones and pounds! I hadn’t looked properly at mid drive purely down to the extra cost and it seemed the consensus here seemed to be hub drive. Having watched the...

Ah brill! Which kit did you fit? How do you find it, does it cope with ‘load’ ok or would you say it might feel like it’s struggling?

Both seem to out of stock until the new year... I did see whoosh and I’ll be honest was put off by the additional cost over hub drive, Plus the loss of the additional gears I assume the cd motor compensates for that?

I take it going down to 36v (seems to be the popular figure for some kits..) would make the situation worse and not have enough oompf to get the mass (me!) moving? As for full power, I'm not expecting to use full power often or at all... Yes I'd like the throttle there for occasional use but...

Well I've got this thread running already for advice.. Just need to find somewhere that sells the MXUS motor d8veh suggested. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/specialised-crosstrail-conversion.29736/

30mins is the goal.. Certainly beats sitting in the car for an hour, yes even in this weather!!! Unfortunately looks like my weight might limit my choices of kit, which I guess I expected but still sucks a little :(

If I can get to that not long after starting I will be a very happy person!... Just need to find a kit suitable for a 'wide' load :eek:

I did wonder if the weight might cause an issue... I assume the MXUS/CST have a bit more get up and go in them than the Q128? I did look at the new @Woosh kit but I don't think I saw the option for a 700c? What kind of AH should I be looking for @d8veh with the MXUS motor? The route...

That's what I'm hoping... Or at least get the average speed in to double digits!!!... I mean I know it was windy when I last tried to cycle in (borrows the nearest cyclists excuse book!)....

I’d like to look at converting my old work commute bike so I can get back to cycling in and get fit/lose some weight. This time of year would be mainly road use but could be tow paths. Around 18mile round trip depending on route. Tried to do it recently and admit I was embarrassed how long it...

Been lurking and learning for a while now. Used to cycle everywhere many many moons ago but then found these 4 wheeled things with an engine could get me to blackpool a lot quicker! Still cycle now, but mainly rides out with my kids so no where near the distance I used to cover. Have cycled...

Well I'll keep an eye on the thread just in case... Heck, devon is only a few hours away :) *ahem*

Damn if you hadn't had the viewer and were a touch closer I'd have bitten your hand off at that price!
