I bought a 15 year old Carrera Vulcan as a donor bike off facebook, changed the mechanical disk brakes to hydraulic. (Very easy to do and cheap). I do 100 miles a week on it - it's been fine. I think the Carrera Vengeance would be fine , but would change (or get changed) the brakes to...

It's debatable whether that tiny DYU D3F is a true folder

This one under £300 at the minute (seem to get 6% off when you put it in your basket) - free delivery - probably better for someone 5'2" than 6'2" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204610269609?var=505211710224

135mm I'm thinking of using the AKM-74 front hub wheel kit from topbikekit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005986142926.html and the Woosh 36v 10Ah bag battery Ends up with quite a light conversion But I would definitely consider changing to the 7 speed freewheel with 11t for higher top...

Thanks, spoke to Andy, the front fork spacing is 75mm which is too narrow for the Woosh options I could do a rear wheel conversion, but I would have to change from the original 6 speed free wheel to a cassette. I'm leaning towards doing using the topbikekit akm74 front wheel conversion kit...

That's ironic : from a battery description on their store (although I believe it was only certain of their batteries that were deemed dangerous)

I haven't used them myself - but when I was browsing, I was struck by the level of relevant technical detail on this ebay store, not particularly cheap mind https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/cyclingbatteryclub?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211 Also large number of reviews seem very good

Not belt drive but https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gran-camino "For riders 14+, up to 25 stone, 5ft8 and above"

Yes, in that review there was someone 6'2" riding it, he managed ok but I'm not sure how stable it would be with 14" wheels

Not going to buy it but https://electricbikereport.com/dyu-d3f-review/

Thanks 20" wheel 406 rim

I wanted a bike that I could do a bit of exploring when we go on holiday in our campervan. My wife has a lovely little folder that I have got my eyes on I had a little ride on it just now and it put a big smile on my face ! Roughly 75mm between front forks I was wondering about a front...

Is that motor with torque sensor a available commercially ? I quite fancied trying to do a lightweight build. If not I guess I could use a Bafang 370 or akm85sx and use your bottom bracket torque sensor kit

Looks ok, if a bit expensive at full price. Pretty standard ebike, nothing unusual. Unfortunately it doesn't give some key information as far as I could see, max controller power and battery size. I think it will go up hills ! The most important specifications are max power supplied by the...

Did the consumption gets worse ?

I just use a USB lead between my battery USB port (or display USB port) and the camera so the camera battery is continuously charged on my bike rides
