thank you for the comment! It’s good to hear a piece of real experience of the motor! Which one is the next one up? The 02? whoosh said in one of the early comments if I go with a more powerful motor it might create more heat and the more powerful the motor the faster it likes you to pedal? Is...

Yo Your tandem sounds amazing! yer I’m not sure about this bike. Just bought it out here. back home I have this bike... http://www.chargebikes.com/plug-1/ I want to bring it with me but the boyfriend said no. House building things are apparently more important! *eyes roll* I would have...

Ah ok. Thank you flecc

He also suggested a front hub motor. But said some people don’t like to do this as there can be a risk of accident. But said I could go for a lot of watts with this option and it might be good to balance out the weight as my child is on the back.

I just spoke to a local supplier and they showed me a motor that is on the back cog. I wasn’t pedal assist. I don’t think in Europe these are allowed. You can pedal if you like but the motor will work without you pedalling. They also said it’s really hard to get anything from China at the moment.

Ok

I like the green bikes site as it’s easy to navigate. Just tried adding it to my cart to see how much shipping/tax would be and it asked me lots of set up questions. Dunno if I got them right.

Thank you for filling in the calculator for me sjpt! I saw that calculator and I was a bit confused!

I will take a look at those sites now woosh thank you

Im not very fit. Trust me! Although as I said I did manage on a 250watt hub but that was without my son or luggage. I’m really not sure how steep it is it’s a curvy road that winds up the mountain so different gradients all along. Never seen anything electric go up it. Only petrol or diesel...

I will have a look at suppliers here first. Where I will find them I’m not sure but I will try. i could stretch to £400. What would you suggest? Link me! Quote the vat for me too please so I know how much extra that is.

What size motor and battery should I be looking at? Roughly?

I would like a mid motor or crank drive motor as I have heard they are better for steep hills. I would like a Bafang but they don’t seem to ship to Turkey or if they do it’s about £300 tax/shipping on top. I didn’t even know you could buy bits on this site! Very new to this site. Would you be...

Thanks for your reply! so how do I make sure the motor I purchase has lots of tourque? Will it be listed in its specs? Probably have the wrong end of the stick here! I would like a motor bigger than 250 watts. As I said the 250 watt hub motor I tried didn’t work out for me. I am willing to...
