    Coast to Coast

    Don't do it. It's just a plot to make the east coast bigger at the expense of the west.:mad:

    Conversion kit ordered

    That's a proper job stripping and powder coating the frame. If you do a proper job on the bits this could be a very nice bike, worth some kudos... I'm looking forward to the pics now. The motor helps with my athsma, so I get fitter when I can ride the bike. E bike's tend to make for many more...

    My conversion Assos

    Geared is good direct drive can be a disaster on hills etc. My battery range is exceptional. It's a recumbent and has special performance. I have a BBS01 woosh sell for about eBay price but with support. Most people get around 3 miles per amp hour of battery. On higher powered/unrestricted...

    Is buying 500w ebike a good idea to commute through the city?

    Most legal bikes have a motor rated as 250 watts but they can actually have a far higher peak power. So no significant advantage there. Speed limit has some disadvantages as they could all easily run at 20 mph on the flat. Any unrestricted bike with an 250 watt plus rated motor is illegal to use...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My conversion Assos

    Tabs there is no need to go illegal. A legal kit can make you one of the faster cyclists on the road. Even limited it helps you accelerate away from lights and up hills leaving you with more spare umph to cruse n the flat and fly down hills. So much so I would say any bike needs disk brakes. Min...

    My GSM / Muddy Fox eBike build

    10s 16ah plus connectors cost me £110 but it's only 10c so I can't run over 160amps :eek:. I think my motor is set for around 14 amp anyway so I don't expect to much battery sag

    Newbie introducing myself

    There are a lot of decent bikes. You need to test ride and test ride again. Remember to also test with the motor off. That tells you how good the bike is. If it's easy to pedal unpowered then the assist just has tohelp you, max range. If it's a pig the motor has to work hard just to shift it...

    Hello

    If it's a moped which a 500watt bike is classed as you can have the book thrown at you. This could include drunk driving if you have had a drink before cycling, as some use the bike for pub runs! The 500 watt is effectively little different from the legal kits. Just the **** you can end up in is...

    Long time - Back on board need advice.

    It's not obvious but the road tires will reduce wasted energy so you go faster or further for the same effort. I should be a small effect unless the old tires are really bad.

    Hello

    It's an of road switch that makes it illegal. Reprogramming is also illegal. The ability to reprogram isn't. If it's sold as a legal kit without a switch its legal. Defeating the limiter makes it illegal like a dongle. Having a 1000watt motor is automatically illegal. Having a 250watt rated...

    Hello

    Remember the 500 watt kit is illegal. Plenty of 250 watt kits around and they can give you 15 mph easy.
