    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Firstly, thank you for your input. And that's the thing, I don't do the commute yet. I take the tube, but I have over the past month or so been cycling a fair bit to get used to it again. I also have a exercise bike at home, which I do 20 minutes on every morning 5 times a week. You mean the...

    non-folder to fit in the boot?

    Sorry for butting in the conversation; but have you any idea what the DWG22C motor's derestricted top speed is? For some reason I think this motor is 48v 201rpm native and not a 36v 201rpm motor overvolted to 48v. Since it is said to be built 'for torque', I guess it tops out at 18mph depending...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I was contemplating buying the same cassette I have on my bike for the same reason. The added bonus would be that my wheel would remain intact since I've got centre lock rotors and need to get a 6-bolt one for the motor as well. And that's interesting to know. I wonder if both Yose and Woosh...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Hi Peter! Since I'm paranoid about disclosing things on the internet, if not too much trouble, I'll send you a PM of the incline portion of my commute.

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I will happily disclose I spent a day or two without reading anything about e-bikes. I needed a breather for sure. Being new to this I assumed block connectors were old technology, and not as good as the 'waterproof' plugs. Having said that, would electrical tape not make these 'waterproof'...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I'm encountering information overload. Too many measurements and concepts at once. For example the battery /controller cable or connector compatibility issue. 1- Yes, I am looking at 48v, particularly since I've seen a lot of people on Reddit wanting to upgrade from 36v to 48v; so I may as well...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Yes. From what I read, 48v is the way to go since there are apparently no disadvantages to it. I'm a lanky chap, at 6'2 and 74kg/163lbs. But I have a lengthy incline on the return leg of my 12 mile commute. I don't have Strava and don't know where I could source the precise gradient of it...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Thank you for your suggestion. I didn't know Woosh sold kits without batteries. Torque sensors, from the little I know, come in really expensive bikes. I'll look into it, but I feel as though it'd be too advanced. I'd have to replace my BB and chainring altogether I think. Coincidentally I...

    Help me buy an ebike

    Just a heads up on Eleglide e-bikes (although they seem to have vanished stock wise in the UK): skip to minute 8:29 for BMS skip to minute 11 ish for dead battery cells I found this Spanish battery tech, who was hired to refurbish or rebuild a Eleglide battery. Upon inspecting the battery...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I've found some useful information on some popular 250w hub motors; the link is from another forum, not sure if allowed so I shall not post: But all credit goes to the user 'UpWrong': XF08C MXUS rear motor wheels with freehub body for cassettes, available in 26", 650B and 700C(28") rims...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Thank you all for your feedback. Believe you me I've read your posts twice and back. It's a lot to take in when one is trying to piece this puzzle together. I found 'endless-sphere' which is, as I gather, their 'Pedelecs' forum from across the pond; ergo I spent the day trying to dig up info...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Hello All! I've just recently signed up, but I have been reading the forum so much for the past few weeks to the point head hurts. It's a lot of information to soak up on a completely new subject for me. I bought a new bike (Polygon Path 3, size L, 700c) that was on sale a month or two ago...
