... on a grand scale ... such a load of old flannel till they get your money then we all know what to expect ;) The PITA of holding them to account more trouble than it's worth. May as well learn to build and maintain your own and be free of it all. In the end, whatever it looks like in the...

Remember too that an expensive bike is only as good as its weakest part/feature. Be that a badly designed chainguard, a dodgy display design etc etc. There is usually something which winds up being a niggle or causing problems of one sort or another on any bike especially if you use it heavily...

It all makes a mockery of warranties etc. when it takes that long to rectify problems. Anything more than a few days off the road is unacceptable and warrants a loan bike. Loss of use of a BH bike for a month in the first year = realistically over £70 depreciation (not compensated) plus loss of...

Pedego do some for just over £2k built with 600W 48V direct drive motor and 20mph assist. Singlespeed only tho' :( http://pedegoeurope.com/product-category/trail-trackers/ My thoughts exactly .. I looked into doing a Surly Moonlander and decided it's what I'd do (if not a dual drive) - only...

They might be able to sort something if you hang on a bit. Otherwise might be better off grasping the nettle and going for LiPos. Much easier to source at reasonable cost here if China shipments are not happening and are fast to charge. Once you have invested in the necessary balance charger...

It is this throttle if that helps - anyone ??? I never fitted it (used thumb throttles instead) so don't know how it wires up, but presumably the fact it has LED voltage level display is the reason for extra wires ? Half Twist Throttle with LED Voltage Level Display - BMSBATTERY

Yes I have a few similar 1-CREE units (from various suppliers) plus a 3-CREE which I usually run on lower power as it is too much 'on road'. Don't take any notice of the lumen claims - they don't give that, but they are very bright and all most people could possibly need. Far better than some...

BMS Battery - +/- £32 on $750 or thereabouts kit. So I've heard ;).

For a cheap front light to see by which outdoes anything on Halfords' shelf at 4 times the price, you can't really beat these : Hot 1800 Lumen CREE XM-L T6 LED Bicycle Bike Head Light Lamp/Bicycle Light MSY | eBay

If they ask you to pay more for shipping just say no and they apparently they find a way to manage it for the same price just as fast within a few days. Buying a complete kit is unlikely to give problems but if it does BMS Battery will most likely refund you without problem if shipment is returned.

EM3EV gets good reports. It's unlikely a shrinkwrap 48V 20Ah battery from BMS battery will fit in a standard triangle. They do vary in shape according to batch (some are long/thinner and others brick-like ... you will know what you have when it arrives !) - but you could msg them and ask for...

Carnage on London's streets as cyclist hit by coach is left fighting for life just hours after man is killed by lorry - London - News - London Evening Standard

The overall spec is very good indeed for the price (albeit it just looks like any other plain old hybrid bike to me ... and is on a par with the Impulse "fun"-wise !). The 'solder trick' isn't for Bosch bikes - you'd need one of the dongle solutions or similar to derestrict the speed limit...

My CST will climb stairs at low speed if the tyre pressure is taken down ... it just uses a shed load of W/h doing so !!! It also races up deep ruts in ridiculously steep dirt tracks ... all by itself :o I'm pretty sure I couldn;t nurse a crank drive up there with part-crank rotations without...

For a 30-40 mile range (realistic) and 30mph assist you are looking at a 25-28kg bike in order to get one strong enough with enough power/battery unless you go LiPo to save weight - in which case you won't get anything off the shelf and it's a lot of work to set up from scratch. Also forget...

If you order them on their own then likely yes by the looks of it ! I seem to remember something more like £25 but obviously have my lines crossed. The BMS Battery ones are likely cheaper if ordered with a kit/other stuff because marginal impact on duty/VAT/shipping £nil in practice. However...

Impulse is very good climber but those retail Bosch/ Impulse bikes are not nearly powerful enough to compare with a powerful hub motor for example 'fun wise'. You really should try one before making final decision if not looking to build immediately. How much 'fun' are you looking for ? For...

Are you intending to do much 'jumping' on the jump bike ? If so, your battery needs to be very well secured , protected and housed. Looking at the basic geometry of the bike in your photo (albeit there is no rear suspension) I'd take inspiration from the housing on this ... Stealth Bomber...

I just looked up cycleeze website again and torque arms listed as £12, which is fair enough if you want to screw the retaining arm into a hole on your dropout and are not equipped with the tools to shape and punch / drill a hole through solid stainless steel ones ... avoids having to make a hole...
