Me I didn't mean to but the alleged cycle path changed. Ended with a muddy leg from falling off. My bike is defiantly NOT an of roader.

Test ride as many bikes as you can. You've done some so good and test ride with the power off. This lets you know how hard the the assist has to work as well. Easier the ride the better the range.

Convert a good bike is the way to go. I cruse on the flat at 17+ Down hill, silly speeds and 6% uphill still get my over 50,s lard up at near 15 mph. Add in quick off the lights and you start to scare the Lycra crew. There was a cannon dale with rohloff went in London for under £700 on flebay...

It doesn't workout in practice. You only get some power down hill when most of us like to go wheeee. Most energy is lost to wind resistance. Little spare etc.

I would be too but your even further from the bike than me. :D I needs someone in MK area.?

The 250 watt motors will exceed 15.5 mph. The limit isn't power but rotation speed. You don't need to go illegal. Most motors will peak at over 500 W. The north London hills are short and not many maintain 15% if any. Unless you really want to stand out and beat the Lycra crew stupid, 250 watt...

I got the spline fit version. Didn't ask what fit when I got it just confirmed disk version. A complete new 160mmdisk and locking ring cost me £10 from LBS. Just like your link. Easy Peasy fit. So my new wheel looks posh. Full report when I have finished and covered a few miles more:)

Then the bike isn't very assisted. Not like the electric assist most people expect or you sell.

:D:D:D:DBrizzol is sunny and very nice today. Completed the fit of the rear hub gears. Quick test run, 16 mph ave was still able to push on pedal at 30, so max was just under 50, Down hill at 30-48, and back up hill at 12-15mph. Hedge and grass next. Then tomorrow tail box for battery? Update...

Anyone local ish like to do a review. Bristol is I suspect to far.

The exdisplay estreet in manufacturers offers looks smart! At £1599?

Hub motors are simple and legal ones are cheap. They will do the job for anyone at a low price. Better hub motors have more complex things like internal gearing and can be more capable. As well as huge speed and hill climbing ability. But the cost rises. Both £ and how big a battery you need...

Mine is electric. Arthritis in the wrist now so won't go back to drops or upwrongs.;)

It is theoretically possible to register and SVA approve then free tax and insure as an electric moped. But it's not very easy at all. There is a trader who has been saying they can do it. I think we all would love to here how you get on.

What about reversing the chain ring there is some offset in fitting.

Just got mine. It's the splined disk mount, £10 local bike shop. I will set the chain length then adjust tension by moving my bottom bracket. :eek: I can do this on my bike. The control came with a long length of Bowden cable. And I got the 18 tooth ring, good for me as I like speed ( Agreeing...

Aha that's how you avoided helmet hair, only hubby wore his.
