That's effectively what the existing legislation does now https://ebikes.ca/laser-250w-power-rating.html

Because they don't want to bring in legislation that they think risks a big increase in road accidents

As @flecc has mentioned many times our governments are very proud of the UK's road safety records (one of the best in the world) "Eager to encourage two wheels to get drivers out of cars, long ago they decided that since mopeds were fairly slow and car drivers were already safety tested, they...

I don't think it is possible for that model of Wisper but why not private message @Wisper Bikes

How about a AKM75 hub and something like your 10Ah 36v battery in a bag ?

At the risk of going off on a tangent, can you tell us more about your full suss. I am tempted to do a full suss conversion, not for epic mountain climbing, just for comfort on long road trips or light trails.

Aikema AKM75(1.4kg) or bafang G370hub motor. Something like Wooshs battery in a bag https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?batteries Or Woosh faro (16.5 kg including battery)

For hub based commuter bikes, where you are doing a significant number of miles, I would look at Wisper and Woosh just from the point of view of customer service and support. If you wanted something cheaper, maybe Eleglide M2 - there are a couple of people here that seem to have used the...

My viewpoint is there is such a good array of potential donor bikes available on Marketplace / Ebay / Gumtree that it is worth just getting a donor bike that will make the conversion easy - usually a hardly used older bike which isn't too high tech but has disc brakes , preferably hydraulic, air...

Looks great - is this the one ? https://eskute.co.uk/products/netuno-plus-e-mountain-bike?variant=43773451010263&om=8475&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=&awc=24314_1713790767_5fcda554e2955e05e51b8c59692def65 I think a 520 Wh battery would do 40 miles on flattish / not too high...

So the rule of thumb is one hour of zone 2 training burns 500-600 calories, so if you manage to do an hour each day (which I think is fun on an electric bike - the big problem with zone 2 training is boredom) and consume the same amount of calories you would lose 0.5 kg per week (which I think...

No - Zone 2 training is elevating your heart rate to a level where you are burning fat (which takes quite a lot of oxygen to metabolise) - at higher heart rates you start burning glycogen (which is then replenished)...

I think I slightly disagree, an electric bike is almost unique in that it allows you to keep your heart rate in the fat burning zone for a long period of time without you getting bored and if you combine that with a sensible diet it will aid losing weight

Yep - most of them on AliExpress are right/back left/front and you can swap them over but easier to get them the right way round

Don't ask :-)

I'd definitely recommend hydraulic brakes (though it's dead easy and cheap to upgrade from manual disc brakes - you can get them off AliExpress). Yes, the max continuous rated power on the M2 is 250W also - seems good value for £699

Noticed there was an Eleglide M2 with hydraulic disc brakes, a more powerful motor and 15Ah battery in 27.5 or 29 inch wheels - e.g. https://www.infinityebikes.co.uk/product/eleglide-m2/

Might be worth charging it now - if it has been left for 2 years without charging, the battery cells may have discharged over time and the battery may not be recoverable.
