I'm pro Europe. Sovereignty isn't an issue as I believe the laws are fundamentally the same I've 50 kph=30 mph no real difference. Immigration is good for us and a source of skilled labour. Unskilled labour should be done by the unskilled uk population first, if they will do it. Fear of global...

The improved battery life with smartphones is due to increases efficiency in data compression and signal efficiency. Ie not transmitting in the quiet bits between noise and digitising the signal instead of AM modulated waste. You can't do that with bikes as the energy is used to get my fat a&£@s...

They are simple and light weight. And very good for improving fitness in fit people. A real bugger if you have hills or want to go fast. Just try cycling in one gear for a while to get an idea of what it's like

Welcome steve. They are good and do help improve fitness and some weight loss too.

Un less the brochure was puffery :-0

Mid drive is easy peasy. Honest it is change the bottom bracket and connect up 5 colour coded cables. Power,brakes,speed sensor,display and throttle. Done. A geared hub motor is almost as good as a mid drive. But you need to pick the right one. Trex knows the names to chose.

The 250 watt BBS01 mid motor is capable of peak power of around 750 watts. On the flat 250 watts will get you 15 mph easy. No speed restrictions and the BBS will do 30 if you work with it, but it is legally a motorbike at that speed. If anything happens you could end up in deep brown...

Oh god when will it end. Please stop. Ah after tomorrow

Great please ride and review. But once you have a weeks use test ride a couple of other electric bikes for contrast

That gives you the voltage. My spare sets ate 3ah. So you would need 2s3p setup to give a 46volt 9ah battery pack. A couple as spares and chargers it could be done cheaply. The question of safely and easily is second. Rigging a safe charge point. And easy connection that's extra effort. Doing a...

Sla has very limited discharge cycle. If you used the full 12ah then I don't expect it to have 12ah next time, rule of thumb is use 50% so rate it as 6 ah . Then the weight as well. Look at Lipo Hobbyking have offers and I got my 16ah 36 volt setup for £100. A 3*5s lipo build standard price...

A new bike just off the production line has no real basis for calculating range. Doing some real mileage with stop,starts hills etc. This will give the programming some real data to calculate range. So the cycled 11 miles and it says 55 left looks reasonable. Enjoy the ride

It's normaly an offence to use not purchase.

I think your reply is useful. 6ah of Lipo should easily last as long as 7.5 ah lead acid. The motor runs fine under load if you bypass the controller then its time for a new controller. That's how I read your position.

Change wheel size to smaller wheel will result in faster Turing and speed, but still reading cutout at 15 mph

You can get a nice frame from eBay or gumtree. That will save some money too.

It's simpler with a legal 36volt kit. There is plenty power can be around 700watts peak. and you can adjust that too with a programming cable. Perhaps not as much as SW might like but I'm boring that way.

With the quads you should know about lipo. I have 16ah of 10s10c multi star it cost around £100. Combined with a BBSO1 that's cheap.

Naughty trex, you are only supposed to like woosh bikes.:eek:

Welcome Paul. I nearly bought a place in Caldecott. It's easy to visit Bristol from you, there are several bike shops you can visit and test ride there. And cycle home on your new bike too. Remember the golden rules test ride, test ride and test ride. Apart from that test riding is good.
