Geared Hub motors - Generally no. The beauty about electric is that the moving parts in a motor is kept to a minimum. Other than bearings which are usually sealed type they require no maintenace. Even less on Direct drive types. An then the gears are made from Nylon on alot of geared...

Suspension on a front hub actually works better to a certain degree if the suspension was designed for it. Reason being, instead of pedal power being transmitted through the rear and giving a fair amount of weight movement on the front suspension. The motor delivers linear power and thus the...

Yes you can. I.ve brought a higher powered 350 watt for the rear which i'll collect and fit saturday. The bikes good for a simple commuter and you can fit with disk brakes which would be better. Only grip is that the front suspension could be better but least is cromoly so quite strong for...

Simple answer yes.

As i'm in an apartment you can't even post the card to get to me. Bit of a pain but if i sent it to work i'd never get it home. I'd have to taxi it lol. Or least drag it on the train. Hopefully we wont be caught for customs lol. I had them write sample on the box just in case.

To be fair Zombie doesn't sound like it was a great expense just false economy and time wasted. You definetly removed all possible bits in the tire to stop it puncturing again?

Yeah stick it to the system ;-)

I was quite glad to have an electric assist bike after 3 beers the other week. Made the 9 mile journey home easy. Although 10mins slower and using up alot of battery on the way back as i couldn't be arsed lol.

They sometimes block the values. Thats all really. And don't protect the side walls of the tire. Other than that there fine to use. I just carry a spare inner tube but i'm running marathon + tires anyway.

Is there not like a bike chart for the uk with the most popular models being sold at all? Sounds daft but getting a best sellers list from evans or somewhere could help.

Law's in themselves are full of grey area's with exceptions to the rules. If you believe they are black and white you'd be wrong. Also Individual circumstances / pressures and situations are all different. Nothing is ever black and white. I never make any logical decision without knowing...

If your going to do alot or riding then definetly get some gloves. From my days on a BMX and Downhilling and not using the right gear I ended up with quite a few calluses from not wearing gloves, no matter how good the grips where. However back then I never liked the feel of the gloves and...

Its ok found out they are partnered with Parcel force for the UK.

Doh, that means I might still be charged then. My delivery was made yesturday unfortunatly I wasn't in. I've looked at the tracker website to confirm the attempted delvieries but there has been no card or information on where to collect the items:confused: Don't suppose anyone has any...

Good to hear d8veh. Mines also meant to be here very soon. Landed in cov and also got through customs. Happy days. What wind did you end up getting then? If its the 15 wind which is low speed high torque it should hit about 12nm of torque at 36v 9amp's at 15mph. I got most the stats from...

Not far from me then as i'm in the jewellery quarter! Shouldn't be that hard to sport as the juicy's have distinct frames!

Will keep an eye out for you while commuting!

Would mean alot of fiddling but those batteries would give a huge c rating and basically great at delivering high current. Small range but alot of power. But no real bms and would require alot of maintence.

Halfer if you need to try a kit on a bike or want to go over things i'm based in birmingham city center and ride through digbeth on the way to work!

I think at 16 kilo's you'll be fine. Its not exactly a heavy weight. An your towing its not un sprung weight. Just make sure your brakes are in good working order!
