Welcome and remember the three most important things are 1 test ride 2 test ride 3 test ride some more

An innocent buyer who had taken due diligence, well some sympathy. Buying from a known scrote well then that's handling stolen goods. But dealers maintaining a register of stolen parts, that would be good practice as in no one steals these as they get nicked.

What part of the world is the customer in? There may be a person near who can check it out.

It hasn't been tested in court yet. The law says an off road switch is illegal. How much reprogramming is required to switch the power is something that a lawyer would love to ask ( at reasonable rates). Same thing with the motor. It is rated 250 watts, having it also rated as 1000watts makes it...

Go test ride some bikes. 36volt 17ah batteries are about as big as you get, so that is most likely to give you the range, and keeping the speed down to 8 mph will help too.

More pointless argument based on opinion. How about some facts or keeping your mouth shut until there is something positive to add. Not aimed at any specific poster or side, just the inane rambling.

Or perhaps they could scrap the whole idea and move back to trains? Local holidays? In Cornwall at the mo myself.

I suspect you have:eek:

I'm in the line you're next

A 1km asteroid will obliterate everything, setting the bike on fire is relatively minor effect for that one. As is using different voltages. The speed is electronically limited as is the power draw on most Ebikes. The motor is capable of dealing with a reasonable range of voltage and current...

I can do 14 mph two ways, no power and a lot of sweat or relaxed with the assist on. But add in some traffic and speed drops. But not as bad as the cars I cruse past. But it's the real world limiter. Stopping at lights and filtering at 5mph all add time and reduce your average speed. You should...

Welcome , if you stay away from new kahalkoffs you should have some customers and a chance to take over the local market.

Minor point, I like the photo, it's a developing urban environment, just where the bike might like to be. more honest than a 19 year old girl with flowers in her long hair.

Top speed depends on many things. Your effort, tire pressure, gearing,type of drive,type of bike, wind,but in general a 250 watt drive can get you to over 20. But range falls quickly as speed rises. Battery size is very important. Motor type affects things too, the cheapest direct drives can fly...

Is the NZ in Trevor's location a bit of a trip David? I could do the courier job if you buy the ticket:D

Read my post above, the bbs01 250 watt motor works at around 500 watts and peaks near 800. It's legal and saves you the hassle of trying to convince mr plod that your home build is legal. If a motor is rated as 500 watts then it's likely to burn out at much higher? Why is a 250 better than 500...

Welcome and enjoy the ride

I don't think that's a genuine designer job. So no teasing.

That would be the smartest bike in the world wouldn't it:D

With the smartest Ebike around even I could be a super model. ;)
