    E-Bikes on Strava

    I dont bother with KOMs either but like to be able to track my rides and see how my fitness improves as summer gets nearer! I pedal as much as I can. I do like to try and get more distance though and my record so far is 102 miles in 5.5 hours.

    Is 48-volt the new standard for 2017?

    I think where Bafang say 43/48/60 they mean a low voltage cutoff of 43 volts,a nominal 48 volts and an absolute fully charged maximum of 60 volts. This is exactly the same rating as my BBSHD.

    Electric bike with a difference

    Not all electric fences are battery powered. A lot of fences round here are mains powered. http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/mvf/store/category/mains-energisers

    I can't believe they are so stupid! One of them should have pee'd on the fence to short it out while the others lifted it off o_O

    Best retro fit mid drive unit

    £20 for a strip down and rebuild to get you away sounds very fair to me.

    Mid-Motor - highest assist level and no speed restriction - battery life

    And just to prove the point I now run with 64Ah if I am out for a 100 mile+ ride.
