    Advice to a newcomer on what bike to buy

    Do not buy bike with proprietary technology. Conversion will give you best value for money. All shortlisted e-bikes are very expensive.

    48v battery, which to buy?

    I have quite a few. Depends for what purpose. TSDZ8 is the one I like most. It is legal and probably more powerful than Toseven. Why do you like Eclipse battery so much? Is it because it has Panasonic grade A cells? You can buy something like that from Woosh. Edit: OK... I see why you like...

    48v battery, which to buy?

    They sell batteries with no name and branded cells. It is up to you to choose a good battery. PS Why did you choose Toseven motor from China? It is illegal and practically without warranty.

    48v battery, which to buy?

    I think it is safe to assume Greencell is using no name Chinese cells (and batteries they sell are very expensive). I bought battery from PSW and I am happy with it. You can have 48V 15Ah Samsung battery delivered for £175 Another option is Greenlance...

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    £200 is a very good price for "like new" Cannondale Adventure. You can wait few years for lower prices, but then nobody will give you back lost time. I paid £500 and don't regret.

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    I used templates and searched internet to find if my bikes can be converted with TSDZ2B and TSDZ8. In both cases answer was: "NO. It can't be done". I don't like to hear that something can't be done, so I tried and I tried and I did it. In both cases I had to butcher frames and file motor case a...

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    Have you actually tried to do it? If I were you I would remove bottom bracket, slide motor in and see how bad it is. Keep in mind neither your bike nor motor are listed buildings. Don't be afraid to file motor and frame to make a better fit.

    Switzerland’s best e-bike tour – Route 1291| Switzerland Tourism

    I remain unconvinced. Cycling paths around Plymouth are much more beautiful. If they want me to visit Switzerland, they must try much harder than that.

    Battery Fires

    Yes, of course. Brits do things differently to entire world. It goes without saying. I am just pointing out that it doesn't make much sense. Why it is OK to sell illegal bikes and illegal scooters with a note "it is illegal to use on road" and it is illegal to sell guns at Tesco? We can always...

    Green-Hybrid Jason ebike. Opinions please...

    What you need is a bike on which you would be comfortable to ride for many hours. I would suggest full suspension. Eventually suspension seatpost and suspension stem as a minimum. Also proper trekking geometry so you wouldn't end up with a neck pain after few hours.

    Mid-drive hybrid?

    It is not cheap. Looks quite expensive to me. What you need is a good big battery or two to keep you going whole day. This bike has tiny battery - only 11Ah. North to south France is quite an adventure. Perhaps you would find a minute or two to write more about your plans?

    mid-drive chain line issues

    Shame you didn't ask before buying. TSDZ2B was a great motor, but it is obsolete now. TSDZ8 is much better.
