    Fancy an Astra

    Shame its not using li-po4 since the recent development shows not much of a decline in range and performance. Would cost a fortune though to replace.

    News: Electric bike searches leap 175 per cent as fuel cost rises worsen

    Indeed needs to be Like for Like or based against LY to really give a true comparision. Anyone can spin figures to look good. Still more and more people interested can only be a good thing. Its the reason I got rid of my car.

    Hub Gear maintenance

    The Deore range is good though and well priced in my eyes. Its a part on my list to upgrade on my bike once the acera 7 has worn. But your right the top end really is expensive. But you wouldn't really use it on an ebike as these bikes are mainly used for commuting. I've never really tried...

    Sunlova Kit Help

    My sunlova Kit came with the 15amp controller and in assit mode you can add additional magnets to help the power kick in sooner. Peak power and draw appears to be at 8-9mph using 14.8amps on my watt meter @ 33v = 488.4watts I personally think its quite good the power I am getting although...

    Hub Gear maintenance

    When all said and done bicycles hardly require that much knowledge or expertise to setup and maintain correctly. An parts in comparision to running a car are a fraction. I alays look at the bike in comparison to other more modes of transport and the bike wins every time. Cheap deraillers...

    Last word on the helmet debate?

    I don't think it should be compulscary to wear one. It really depends on your environment. Why would you need to wear one on cycle paths and through parks. However i feel on the road its probably better to. Although we have older members here who probably feel like i never wore one previously...

    Last word on the helmet debate?

    I prefer wearing one - an don't get hot and sweaty in it as its pretty well vented being a specialized one. I actually feel more vunrable without one and riding, same with gloves. I think it feels more distant to me due to riding motorbikes and having so much gear on for the just incase that...

    Battery Help

    Interesting Analysis of the parts. I understand there are only several ways of which to improve the speed of the system. The new BPM motor may be an avenue I go down really as I could just buy the BPM motor for say a 24inch wheel (compromise between its highest speed and still ok hill climb...

    Battery Help

    Morning D8veh, Interesting given the larger motor managed to propel the bike up to the increased speed. What controller was you using and do you have any peak readouts it all? Maybe another option where by i just order the bpm motor with a faster rpm wind to alloy the faster speed and...

    Battery Help

    I take it that controller is what your getting that extra power from as its increased the draw current from the battery. As mine would not go above the 15amp controller. I don't think the wind on the 700c would allow it to go faster unless you over volted.

    Why does nobody sell branded bikes with electric kits ready installed?

    Jesus its only advise and experience shared. So what if a few memebers may or may not have a vested interest. The point is if your stupid enough not to seak other opinions / advice or experience then its your own stupid fault. We should be careful and discriminating in all the advice we...
