See post #52 here (picture): http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/the-best-legal-ebike-kit.26480/page-3#post-352354 And post #22 on this thread (gives a link to another forum discussion) which suggests 250/350w versions are the same.

What kind of speeds were you getting out of the 38t, 44t, and now the 48t Ultrafunkula? I haven't done enough mileage on mine yet to decide whether to mod for faster road speed, or keep this bike for my casual Sunday tow-path/bridleway/back lane rides. Please keep us up-to-date on a front...

I agree. I think Greenway would agree. They're working on it. The bike is way too cheap for what it is especially with the Bafang Max Drive and Shimano hydraulic brakes, so I had my doubts too (which is why I went). If you buy through Amazon/ebay as UF did and virtually all their Customers do...

I do see your points and I'm not going to argue, but I think we're getting distracted... the basic point I was trying to make (perhaps not very well) is simply that a lot of premium product is marked up above and beyond what is reasonable... certainly above the margins made on their more...

You are quite right... I do see your point of view and I can see how your opinion is being formed. I don’t work for Greenway and I’m not defending them, but I have been there, bought a bike, and talked to them, so this may help explain... My understanding is that 99.8% of Greenways’ sales are...

You too have a point. But Bosch already HAD the bulk of their technology developed within the automotive industry, power tools, industrial. Their R&D spend was largely already done. I'm not sure Bafang had that existing investment or design head-start, and I'd be amazed if they DIDN'T reverse...

Yes, I do understand: Dealers invest time with the customer at point of sale and in after sales service. They have rent and rates and taxes and salaries to pay... lay out cash in stock and re-invest to grow the business. I get all that (I've been there too). Ebay/Amazon/e-commerce platforms cost...

Yes, TGW do appear to make some pretty well built, nicely styled bikes. I'm really impressed with my TGW/Greenway Max Drive. It's nice to see someone in this Country offering a couple of decently (enough) built mid-drive e-bikes imported and sold for hub-drive money, rather than the inflated...

Leading up to Christmas, one e-bike importer/re-seller had their own, exclusive model £840 e-bike openly advertised daily for anything between £250 and £500 on ebay from some fake seller. Those listings, from an unknown "new seller" with no history, offered the same "brand new, unopened" bike...

It's not rocket science. Enter the product codes on your product packaging, and the Greenway bike appears in TGW's 2016 product catalogue! Works (nearly) every time. I have visions of you running around your warehouse right now removing the supplier codes from your own bikes' boxes!!! They do...

GW are a huge Chinese based bike/e-bike company employing 4500 people. They do have EU and US offices, but the bikes are China made. GW stands for Golden Wheel. They make bikes for Trek, amongst many others. They also make hubs and forks for several other brands (some premium brands) as well as...

Hate to be a kill-joy, but your bike is totally illegal for road use: Anything with more than a 250w motor and powered beyond 15mph needs licensing like a moped/motorcycle... road tax, number plates, MOT, insurance... and importantly, you need a driving license! And it needs to be pedalled, not...

Here's the specific EBR review on the Max Drive... Perhaps worth mentioning that the Greenway Cross that uses this same Bafang Max Drive motor - and even though it's much cheaper in comparison to the bike used in this review - is equipped with a gear shift sensor to reduce power and stop...

Pucka Samsung spare batteries even cheaper if bought direct from Greenway's own website: http://greenwaycycles.co.uk/e-bike-batteries/72-samsung-battery.html Eat dirt, Bosch!

Says who? You may be making big money as an importer, but the bike buying punter isn't getting any of that benefit are they? Even your own web-site states you intend to raise prices on the back of the devalued £. The cheapest Bosch mid-drive isn't anywhere near the cost of the £1000, better...

What's not to like with this Bafang kit? Okay, Bosch kit is decent enough; well enough designed, and has a "name", but it's largely bull and hype. Bafang offer more torque at less cost, and none of the Bosch crap of "tied in " proprietary batteries, required servicing, and absurd costs/dongles...

Cool. Kinda makes sense that the mechanics/electronics of the 250/350w models are the same with the power being limited only by the programming... although one of the sellers here did say the 48v Max Drive model is a very different animal to the 36v versions. The post didn't say how he...

Annoying? You're joking, right? The password to bypass the 25kph speed restriction isn't a secret... it's 0512... no stupid £150 Bosch dongle required.

Of course the public are a pain in the ass... but it's us, the public, that are buying your product and keeping you all in business. You have no existence or future without us, the pain-in-the-ass public. When you, the trade, have spent considerable time, effort, and money gathering yourselves...

Can I just play devils advocate here? You organise a trade show... the reasons for which I fully understand. But having gone to all that time, effort, and cost, why would you NOT open it to the public to promote the benefits of e-biking when so many major brands will be there? Silverstone...
