    Which ebike is best to speed up commute, must be able to pedal at 30 km/h

    Which ebike is best to speed up commute, must be able to pedal at 30 km/h

    When I converted my wife's folding bike , I had a little 9 mile test circuit. Before I did the conversion it was taking me around 40 minutes. After the conversion (1.6 kg akm-75 + Woosh 36v 10ah bag battery 1.8 kg) I tried the same circuit unpowered and it took 27 seconds longer (3 seconds per...

    Which ebike is best to speed up commute, must be able to pedal at 30 km/h

    The other thing to mention is other members here have confirmed that the department of transport has stated that the 10% tolerance on speed limits applies to motor assist cut off. So, if you calibrate your speed via GPS, you could adjust your cut off to 27.5 km/h (assuming your display allows...

    Do any cadence sensored hub motor controllers activate pedal assist when ghost pedalling backwards as well as forwards?

    Slightly off topic but I have noticed the power output on the display varies with cadence, am I imagining that ?

    Which ebike is best to speed up commute, must be able to pedal at 30 km/h

    If you wanted something quite lightweight and just want to use the motor for inclines, and with low resistance when you are not using the motor (and you are not too heavy) this seems a bit of a bargain https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro Not sure of the gearing

    Warning; ebike batteries have short lives!

    I would be very interested how the Orbea compares with the £699 16.5kg Woosh Faro (with 8Ah battery) . I know the Orbea has drop handlebars , but I was wondering how much hype there is around the X35. A replacement Woosh battery only costs £199. A new Faro costs less than the Orbea...

    Help! Converting folder bike to cassette

    Just musing about battery placement - my mother in law is quite petite so I think a 36V 10Ah battery will be fine I was thinking about a seat post battery, either mount it on the seat post , underneath the saddle, or on the handlebar tube , or wondering if I could do something with this...
