Yes, we do see this here, but there are also a lot of members that love their elegant Bosch full suspension bikes ( and would be horrified to ride round on our "clunkers" :-) ) and have done many miles with no problems and are happy to pay the bike shop service costs / any repair / new battery...

Just one thing to be aware of , the maximum motor assist will be set to 15.5 mph / 25 km/h as per UK law and it is very difficult to get round that on the more expensive proprietary bikes (which would be breaking the law anyway ! but is usually possible on the cheaper Chinese generic bikes )

Looks a very nice bike.

I can't see any hills :) If you are used to cycling unpowered I think you are getting to be pleasantly surprised by ebikes and the gradients that you will get up on them ! I'm in my sixties and over 100kg and on my admittedly quite powerful (48V max current 18A) rear hub bike , this hill...

Here is an earlier thread on someone with similar requirements https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/advice-on-buying-an-e-bike.47952/?view=date eta - notice the 29" eleglide M2 is in stock - looks a good deal and well equipped https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CQCBW9D6 Hydraulic Front...

What sort of riding do you anticipate doing ? Mostly road based ?, trails and forest tracks ? mountain bike off roading ? What sort of distances ? Just had a quick look - looked a fair share of hills but nothing too extreme - does the ADO Air 28 have gears ? - I think you would want one with...

I think Ali is particularly good on the store information, number of regular buyers, how many years old, number of followers, how many items sold in last 6 months, store rating, communication rating, reviews. If you take all that and look at the item descriptions and communicate with the...

I've found it invaluable, especially for things like batteries, Dsaikl DT are good

So you have a 3.2 A safety margin

But a 201 rpm motor in a 20" wheel won't go very fast ?

Check the continuous discharge current (I think 25 amps on the one you were looking at) rather than the nominal wattage. So drawing 20 amps will be fine

I don't really understand, do you need a longer range? what makes you suspect your current solution isn't energy efficient ?

I think the consensus is the akm-128 (and it's clone the q128) are among the best hub motors. What controller are you using and what is the maximum current ? Using the KT controller and it's PAS levels definitely maximises the range afaic. The other option would be mid motor but I'm sceptical...

Yes, so I think I have flat washer next to the head, then concave facing downward and then convex fitting upwards into the concave

That would make it look like it means business a 20" wheel with 180mm caliper. What adapter would I need ?

So, I fitted the new front hub motor wheel to my Carrera intercity disc 8 and swapped over the front disc rotor on to the hub motor wheel. The edge of the hydraulic brakes is rubbing against the spokes. Can I put washers on each of the rotor screws to move the rotor outwards ? Or maybe file...

I just wondered if you upgraded a 24v hub motor, say with a "no load" max speed of 18 mph to 36v. That would give a no load max speed of 27 mph. If you take the actual realistic speed range (say 7 mph to 15.5 mph), isn't the motor speed going to be well below it's optimum efficiency...

If you needed a bit more range there looked like a 24v 17.5a version of that battery case with branded cells on Ali Express for £160 including delivery (I would send photos and dimensions to the seller to double check) I just found this on AliExpress: ￡141.99 | Original Ebike Battery 24V 36V...
