    Conversion kit for my Brompton

    I like the position of the battery, I think it’s way to big (for my usage), is there any chance of a battery about half the size and half the capacity mounted to the frame like that?

    Low step with 20” wheels

    I have a lovely ebike with 28” wheels that I use for long distance commuting, I also have a 20” none electric folding bike that I use for short journeys. And I find the 20” wheeled bike so much more fun, it’s small, lightish and very approachable, while my ebike is powerful and perfect for the...

    Help! Cube Acid was a failure - suggestions?

    I have a couple Of hard tail EMTBs. One 27.5 and the other 28” wheels. I don’t like that the wheels are so large. I much prefer old mountain bikes when they had 26” wheels.

    Rear hub motor. Step through. High torque. Suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks that is the reason I want a cadence sensor, I’m finding I’m having to work quite hard with the torque sensor, my knees are not great, the torque sensor is fine for the flat and moderate hills of my commute. My trailer hitch is connected via a quick release wheel skewer, could it easily...

    Rear hub motor. Step through. High torque. Suggestions appreciated.

    I’m the same as you going down, I make sure I don’t pick up speed and go down slowly, the only tricky bit for me is I have to turn right about 3/4 way down the hill so I have to take my right hand of the brake to hand signal, I make sure I’m going really slow before I get to that point but I’d...

    Rear hub motor. Step through. High torque. Suggestions appreciated.

    I have a carry freedom Y frame large rated for 80kg, it’s all uphill when I’m loaded and when I’m going downhill the trailer is empty, but good brakes are important, my current bike has hydraulic discs but I don’t think that’s needed, but it’s nice.

    Rear hub motor. Step through. High torque. Suggestions appreciated.

    Now I’ve arrived home and have researched the Santana it sounds great, can you comment on how the torque would compare to my Bosch Performance Line CX with 75nm of torque? After looking online the SWX02 seem to have lower torque, but I know basic numbers don’t tell everything. Also, can the...

    Rear hub motor. Step through. High torque. Suggestions appreciated.

    Do you have a link to the geometry measurements? I usually get a smaller frame bike, I'm about 5'2 and usually get a 14/16" frame, but that is mountain bike style bikes.

    Rad Runner - useful bike.

    I like the simplicity and low maintenance aspect of the single speed but I’m not sure how it would cope going up fairly steep hills pulling heavy loads on a trailer, which is what I’d need it for, I like the smaller wheels (though not the extra wide tyres). I think it looks really nice, sturdy...

    Rad Runner - useful bike.

    I think with 80nm torque it might be useful even with just 250w.

    Trailer for heavy loads.

    Thanks, the addbike is an interesting idea, I’ve messaged circecycles for pricing and weight carrying limit on the atlas trailer, it looks like a possible option. Child trailers are not an option for me as I’m looking at carrying at least 60kg, as that’s only 3 bags of animal feed. Many thanks...
