Hey so I was wondering what the ideal gearing for an ebike is as its heavier. My bike weighs about 20kg and is very hard to get it going, I think its actually harder work sometimes than if I was on a normal bike (Although im going at about 20 mph which I couldn't achieve that easily without the...

Hey so my bike was about 13kg. No idea what it weighs now but its unbearably heavy, when loaded up with my deliveroo bag it will often try and topple over and its really hard to get it back up. It also feels a bit unstable at slow speeds. Should I look into losing weight off the bike or just...

Hey so the speed pedelec law. Which limits to 15.5 mph and 250w is an EU law. With the uk leaving does this mean we can ride speed pecelecs when we leave. Until they bring in new regulations. On a side note im not sure how much cops even know about ebikes. I had a crash earlier on my legal...

Hey so basicly im enjoying my cyclotricity 250w kit but basicly find it a bit weak and slow for what I want to be doing. Is it possible to take a wheel from another kit and swap it still using the same controller, battery and LCD that cyclotricity provided. Or do controllers only work with each...

Hey so I currently ride at about 18-20 MPH on my ebike on the flat. My motor cuts out at 15.5 mph is this ok?

Hey so I have the LCD for the cylotricity front wheel kit. I know I can acces the programming menu by pressing both keys. So how do I set the max speed to 32 km/h which I hear is the max speed this kit can do. It accelerates like a rocket and then just slows down. I feel like my kit is...

Hey so my kit (Cyclotricity 250W front) is working on myebike and its runs fine. However I wasn't able to install my new dual callipur brakes to the bike as the reach on them is way to long. What I have found is that these brakes which did fine before and I dont seam to be going that much faster...

Hey so I finally got the cyclotricity 250W front hub installed. However they gave me way to much wire so my bike that I kinda converted cos I liked the look of vintage puegeots looks like a complete mess of wires everywhere. Are there any bags or something that I can place the wires in to make...

Hey so I plugged this 36v battery into my 250w kit and set it all up. However the battery is not powering the kit. Pedelec doesnt move wheel and lcd screen doesnt switch on so I would assume its a battery problem. When I touch the battery button it lifhts up showing how much power the...

Hey so I know that going fast while commuting doesn't matter that much. But im wondering how fast do legal E-Bikes (15.5 mph not overclocked) compare to high end road bikes. Does the extra weight (20kg vs 6kg) mean you actually go slower than someone whos good with a road bike. I would imagine...

Hey so my bike cannot take disk or V brakes as it is vintage with a nutted front. Do people think this brake would give me enough stopping power, I am going for the 250W kit and am changing my rims to alloy (Steel rims are horrible anyway.) Here is the brake I am looking at. If anyone knows of...

Hey what do people think of this bike its a full carbon fibre electric bike with a 250W motor. Is this thing safe,when I was asking about building an ebike I was told to avoid CF at all costs. Does this bike mean that CF bikes can be electrified or is this bike itself not safe. I myself...

Hey so I have got my hands on a puegeot 103 carbolite from the 80s. The bike is a lightweight steel frame with drop bars and gears not even on the handlebars. Anyway I am going to be placing the 250W fronthub motor onto it with a 11AH battery. Can anyone reccomend some good brakes to use with...

Hey so I am going to start working for deliveroo part time. This will require cycling 3 hours a day doing deliverys some of the time is just waiting outside however and the ride times are not that far. Will my e-bikes battery last 3 hours if I only use it for hills. I am wondering if I should...

Hey does anyone know if cyclotricitys 250W roadlegal motors go up to 15.5 mph or 17mph (Legal 10% limit) and if its possible to increase to that with the LCD computer if its not built in.

Hey so I want to get a fast roadbike that has a good range. I plan to do this by first going for the standard non electric fast bike which will have speed pedals, drop bars etc. My current bike is a sirrus specialised which I am thinking of converting to a road bike for more speed. I then...

Hey I am about to get a cheap ebike that has a faulty battery. It is a um44 by ultramover. Now im wondering are the batterys specific type for specific bikes like with laptops? It uses a 26v 9ah lithium battery, but these are very hard to find and very expensive. Can I just go and buy a 24V or...
