Yikes consider me told.. No excuse at all.. Ive even googled tYres a few times the last few weeks, 'gulp'..

Cheers Chris, The came with bike tires are as you suggest a lil thin walled, so for the new motor wheel I splurged on a shwarbe? us brand, Road Guard tire at about 2x the cost of a cheapie black option, even paid the diddy premium for a cream coloured one too ;) its even got a reflective strip...

- I missed that scrub what i said above,

not a very well informed guess but if you have a new controller its possibly not set up for your motor but the stock motor supplied usually? Since your motor came from ebay its possibly not exactly the same as what its replacing. assuming you got the controller from the bike supplier? If i...

@Bikes4two It takes more than a single double take to spot that motor.. especially if your whooshing by. mine? significantly less stealthy.. but still looks cheaper than yours ;)

WHOOPSIE!! This IS our New Pal @Saracen 's Thread ;) He asked about front wheel kits right after i rained on his linked to Ad for a back wheel kit.. And he added his bike pic to his profile icon which may have thrown you... Not had that required mug of strong tea yet perhaps?

Better forewarned than surprised and caught short with no brake blocks. And on consideration it makes a lot of sense too. Im very impressed with the power delivery from my kit even as the smaller battery option looses voltage, it moves my mass at an impressive acceleration when asked, and as a...

@Saracen Didnt mean to sidetrack your thread, but that site smelled wrong.. As to whats UK legal lots of folk can discuss that for hours n get nowhere as a lot of it is all untested,,afaik all we can do is act within the spirit of the law as best as possible playing safe. To get us all...

I was more concerned with the prospect of OP ridding a bike with a big motor stamped 500w and trying to tell a police officer its ok its limited in firmware?? I dont think that would wash??

The description and specs from the site i consider a bit dodgy..

Just a newbie myself with a single week old kit build to my name.. hollowtech cranks are actually hollow i think (i googled em before my own purchase) I dont think the 'standard' pas sensor will fit as your pic 1602 looks close to the red crossed crank pic from the suppliers site. However...

Sorry to hear about the knee Hope you have a speedy and full recovery.. Im just grateful my first few journeys were on quiet empty streets and tracks and not busy traffic filled roads. My future e-biking will lets just say different from my initial expectations and probably like yourself on...

I see what you mean about shifting to a lower centre of gravity for stability, but stability isnt the issue, the front box may look big but its not for the heavy stuff as a rule. The attraction to me at least of the black plastic box is not only are they cheap but they help make the bike look...

@guerney 47 kph! without warning.. My fillings are coming out in sympathy.. Yeah cycle mechanics has sure moved on since i spent time hammering out wedged in cotter pins and everything was stamped steel or drillium. It can get confusing.. I now know the term 'rake' too , thanks...

Damn!! IM glad you dropped by to contribute as guess what i was gonna do once I had done the loctite and grease job :) amazon deliveries expected tomorrow..

similar bike styles perhaps? but not my rd photo thankfully, im dealing with donkeys years of tarmac rough top ups and patches many inches tall, others just shallow depressions as well as the pot holes... but quiet residential streets little or no traffic hence my feeling free to try top...

Well Flabber my Ghast!! When i pottered into the garage this morning i took off the heatshrink and stared at the exit cut out on the axle pointing STRAIGHT UP!! THANK YOU ALL for prompting me to check.. And to make sure i have bugger all confidence left in my recall the frame slots do indeed...

HI, not been here long myself , so welcome from a fellow newbie.. Your bike sounds like a Monster :) should be great fun out in the hills..

Thanks all, My perhaps foolish understanding was the optimum pressure was one that resulted in just the central inch or so of the tire flattened on the road and when viewed from above the tire should not appear to bulge more than 1/16-3/8" either side.. so i was running with 50 psi on the...

What tire pressure would you advise for a sit up n beg city bike with 700x40 tires. supporting upto 130-135kg on roads in not the best condition. Solid frame and forks, No suspension. Bike + rear hub motor battery 22kg (15kg bike, 7 kg ebike kit) me 90kg+ Max luggage 20 kg (5-10kg daily) Me...
