    need to hear pros and cons of buying an electric bike with front wheel hub motor

    If anything it helped my bike out in the handling department. The balance became a bit sharper and easier to lift with the battery on the rear rack. It also meant I was able to apply 2wd round corners so handled really well. If you push loads of power through to the front it can be an issue...

    Bafang SWXU 250W

    Very quiet. A higher pitch noise than the bpm which is a deeper noise but generally no noise at all that I would say is that auduible. You notice noise on a front motor a bit more as the sound isn't trying to catch you up which is probably why is seems a higher pitched noise. Probably due to...

    Bafang SWXU 250W

    Thats the same motor I used to have before changing for a rear motor. Good little motor although a bit weak and had limited hill climbing ability. But generally never even noticed it on the front.

    How hard can it be ?

    I built my own wheel. Just sat there with a guide on you tube doing it in stages. Took a couple of hours to get it correct and broke two spokes in the process. Its quite theaputic though fetting it correct. I didn't use a stand but a fixed point on the bike. Hasn't needed truing since and...

    Depends where you ride though. Some of the road i commute on are worse than offroad parts. There's also big car / lorries and pedestrians to avoid. Difference is If I hit them I'll probably die.

    I was in some trails and lost it down hill. Needless to say the helmet saved the top left of my head. The rest of my face then took the impact. 4 stitches and a chipped tooth later. I'm back on it. I now wear a full face everywhere... But the chances of the same thing happening again...

    USA losing it's love affair with cars!

    I got my licences at 16 (CBT for a scooter), 17 for a car and 17 for the Motorbike full license (Restricted 33hp) But I never bothered actually getting a car untill I was 23 becasue the insurance was hideous. I kept on motorbikes as the insurance was about a 10th of the price. Now at 27...

    New Super Light Tongxin Motor Design/Kit

    This does look very very good. I do like the look how they have blended the colours to make it a nice matching colour scheme so everything blends very well. I do like the Light assist, minimalist builds. They wourk really well on Hybrid / road bikes that iron out the hills.

    Who's got the rear Bafang BPM 350w or 500w kit from BMSBATTERY?

    I brought a kit about year ago. It was a 36v 350w rear bpm motor code 12. (20mph in a 24inch wheel). I had it with the 9fet controller. At the time that was 20amp which I later shunt modded a little for a bit more umph. They where a really good match and ran it on my standard 36v 10amphr...
