It left today:(:( to its new rider a newbie :confused:with a need for speed :rolleyes:

The best trick with the chain is the alfine tensioner make sure you get the spring loaded one its a easy fit to the rear wheel no more chain problems

Would the idea of a bbs01 with a rear hub gear Alfine 8 or similar be a possibility you can convert the bike of your choice , with only one cog at the rear wear is less I have a rear tensioner on mine. The lower initial cost of a diy conversion helps , and if you keep the motor greased and...

Two battery packs over one extra large ones if you can charge at work lower weight

Just removed a freewheel it took a new park tool a half inch socket bar 2 feet long with a 3 foot scaffold bar as an extension the hardest bit was holding the wheel still but took less effort overall

Have checked out tricycle association helpful but to costly, yes it is the upright trike in the avatar . How some you ride laying flat down a mountain side nerves of steel, just need to get used to the new style now the power is turned down its working well

It is like a motor bike and sidecar with a flat tyre or my old lotus sunbeam on ice:D but a lower speeds its great fun and off road at walking pace just like a trials bike shift your weight and hold tight:eek:

Yes 15.5 is a bit much on tight corners at 10 mph its stable but the 0-10 time is very quick. Before I fitted the new tyres the rear burn out smelt good:rolleyes: when the wheel lifted ;) put the laptop on and turned it down the battery range is excellent have you fitted a rear diff Woosh

Right built the trike how do other people get on going round corners at speed? :confused:without a rear diff fitted, with a mid drive and single rear wheel drive its heart stopping even at low speed on tarmac:rolleyes: its the first time I have turned the 250watt right down 10 mph but off road...

With big players eyeing up the mass ebike sales car manufactures etc the market will be for niche high end builds recumbents and light weight road bikes fs mountain bikes for example A lot of chancers looking for a quick profit have crunched the numbers and liked what they see but the...

Yes the 36 tooth lekkie could be for sale its never been further than the driveway and that's when the postman delivered it{ just a note it is almost flat not dished} if you want it send me a pm

Go the lotus 7 way provide a fully built kit apart from the throttle which is included but not fitted free of charge big problem is the spiraling cost of parts bafangs go up every time I buy one last October £325 now almost £100 more one off builds are fun but I could never make a wage out...

Got a 29er 250watt front wheel in stock might have to paint it yellow and put JCB stickers on it got some led strobes spare too :rolleyes::D My first go at a hub build wanted to fit a tdz but building on a tight budget :rolleyes::oops:

Wait till you see how ugly build 2 trike is :eek::) its a purpose built step through electric trike most has gone to the scrap man :D

The trike has a 17.5 ah with ga cells the same bracket as the 21ah on the specialzed from jimmy at insat so range not a problem and the speed set at 15.5 mph helps loads The kit is on a hand built German steel frame the first try on an ali frame flexed

You could be right this must be result of a bump to the head whilst building the zobop :rolleyes::D But it is great fun to ride I think a full face helmet might be required sunglasses are not enough of a disguise :cool: Brakes sorted even has a parking brake now the cheaper sus post works...

The general public will buy into Ebikes in a big way but most will be disappointed with the purchase :([max speed- range- reliability-cost ] mostly due to a lack of poor independent advice The largest retail outlets you all know who I am talking about will sell it for maximum profit and...

Made narrow enough to fit through those dreaded cycle yolks even fits through a normal door :) Suspect it will need a flag on a whip cb antenna style :eek: it bonkers in the woods tried it on the steepest climb clean underwear required its got bags of low down grunt not built for above 15.5...

Try a smaller spacer or remove it completely if you can so the motor just touches the frame every little helps Try an old chain this will have just that bit extra bit of give several small adjustments might be all you need

That's a typical cube frame with the small chainwheel and tight angles :( is the motor actually touching frame? the luna eclipse ring will move the line in but I suspect it will hit the frame you could try a top mount chain guide 100mm bbshd is ideal for a fat bike build;)
