    Advice on buying an E-Bike

    I'd eliminate the Ridgeback (rim brakes), the metroneer is drop handlebars and quite light (easy for putting away) with 360wh battery The Eleglide is tempting and good value, but if you can afford it I would go for the Santana, it's a safe bet, lots of good reports in here. Reassuring customer...

    carbon forks and hub motors?

    I'm really surprised it isn't more popular as a lightweight kit, it avoids a lot of the disadvantages of a front wheel kit, can be pedalled unpowered with very little drag , can choose a suitable generic battery, can use KT controller and display, much cheaper than Cytronex (or x35 bikes) Could...

    carbon forks and hub motors?

    The other "micro hub" is the 1.7kg Bafang G370 that @Nealh uses : E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186229806245?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nZudNSwhRcS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=e7wJGK-DRD6&var=694267081944&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY @Nealh - is it the 201 rpm version you have...

    Generic battery replacement for Mahle X35 system

    Yes , sorry I don't really have any answers, apart from perhaps selling your existing bike, buy a sub 10kg road bike off facebook marketplace (£500 for a nice one) and adding a AKM-75 front hub motor (1.44 kg) (or Bafang G370) and a top quality celled 36V 10Ah bag battery (1.8kg) and small LCD4...

    carbon forks and hub motors?

    How about a 1.44kg akm-75 hub 36v 201rpm motor, maybe build your own wheel , coupled with a 36v 10ah bag battery (1.8kg) with top quality cells (like the ones Woosh offers). Add a KT controller, little LCD4 and pas sensor. That's going to be less than 4 kg added. I think the 201 rpm version...

    Generic battery replacement for Mahle X35 system

    @saneagle what about rigging up a "generic" battery "in parallel" as some members have done with their Bosch systems ? ( I think this is how the x35 "range extenders" work)

    Hello

    Both of those are very good bikes ( the components are Chinese, incidentally !, but none the worse for that). Wisper customer service and support are excellent. The problem with buying second hand e-bikes (as several of us have found to our cost) is that you can't know the condition of the...
