Indeed I have the Sunlova kit. Again does the job but if you expect it to take you up hills on throttle only you've got another thing coming. Weak part on the kit was the controller - Although it works perfectl and never had a problem I think the controller is to low powered. The Battery...

Karl Pilkington on Ebikes would be amazing!

But they do generate revenue ;-) No ones bothered about saftey unless it makes you a few quid

I've now moved my controller etc to the tank bag from my motorbike that sits on the rack. If I had a rear motor I don't think anyone would ever know. Even when I set the bike up with controller on the down post no one seemed to notice at all. Love stealth, its also helps detract from...

I currently ride through Birmingham City center towards Solihull and use mostly A roads with a couple of B road's. I actually feel safer on the dual carrigeways than the B roads if I'm completly honest. Anyway, the normal commute has alot of traffic lights on route. If there on red and I...

If your only going to do 3 miles you don't really need a super quick motor and battery combination. I currently have a 9ah battery and a 250w Bafang motor with a tiny little controller and I compelte 18miles a day and a Marin Kentfield bike fitted with road 35c tires. I'm usually above...

There's many options to consider but only one main question. What do you want the bike for? From that question alone we can start to understand your need's and how to help you achieve that goal.

Quite correct NRG, I had a look at the caps as I opened it this morning too. Would b able to over volt but as you said you would have to be careful of the LVC as it would no longer get applicable. However - Most decent batteries should have a LVC cut off anyway, and failing that I have a...

Decided to do a little bit of movement on the bike with the controller setup etc. Make it a little more stealth. Any way I decided to take the controller araprt to find that the controller supplied was only rated at 6amp with a 13amp peak. :( Possibly why Donna who I brought the kit of felt...

Loved stoppie's i prefered doing them on my old xr600 than wheelies. There's an actuator on the front brake now to stop it but you can still do it if you try!

I aways use the rear more. Yes the front is naturally alot more powerful. But even when riding motorbikes i would brake on the rear a split second before using the front. It always made the bike feel more planted and stopped any dive on the front suspension. Having a front wheel lock up is no...

I tend to jump of kerb's doesn't seem to do anything and motor skill works. I tend to keep it to a min as all my riding is on the road. Can only be as bad as hitting some pot holes. I have put foam on the underside of the battery on the pack though to help absorb bumps.

I'm 26, an doing my commute in this weather i'm never sweat free. Still look like i've ran a marathon lol. Either way its good for you and means you never slow down that much!

Or untill your leg's fall off. I'm with D8veh. I cycle the 18miles round trip to work and back and at best have only used up 3.6amp hrs. Technically if I kept doing the same journey backwards and forwards I should be able to get 45miles. Althouggh I'm sure my leg's would fail. Just depnds...

If I was to upgrade from V brakes it would be to Mechanical disks. I think hydrolic brakes are a setup to far and what is effectivly a light bike. (Its not exactly a motor bike). However I always thought if you have front suspension and V brakes it puts alot more stress on the forks. Where as...

That one with the polo vw van was so close to the rear wheel its pretty scarey! Makes my commute look like a walk in the park.

Your speed is limited by the controller / motor combination. You can either - Overvolt to 48v to give you 20mph Change controller to allow a higher current. This won't directly effect speed but will add more torque to keep you at that 15mph Change motor to a faster wind. Ie if you have...

Excellent stuff. Like you've said would make a good stealth option or for those who want to push alot of power at a limited range for an ebike. These things have a great c rating an even if you do pull alot of amp's and reduce the life there pretty cheap to replace.

Very true! Would be good to see the bullet cam though. The cheapest one only a 100 though and quite stealthy!
