KTM has had some good reviews as well. 7 mile commute should be an hour a day. Just what the doctor ordered. The more you pedal the less charging you would have to do. I could get 40 miles easily out of a 36volt 12amp setup. I got 40 miles out of 26volt 8amp with a lot of work. Almost any bike...

Nice bike and price is about right too. It should go, good luck

It would help if you put a price on the bike. Unfortunately the going rate may be a lot less than you expect.

A little bit naughty your post Col. But I must go look at the KTM,s in your thread as they are highly thought of by some people

I have a challenge wizard. It is a short wheel base, over the seat steamed full suspension touring bike. On my 12 mile scenic commute my best speed was 28.4kph, on an electric bike it was 27.7kph. If I am asthmatic and week then the bent drops to less than 20 kph the electric holds onto 25 ish...

Whoosh are the defacto budget buy recommendation for cheap bikes. The crank drive kit also fits as best budget option. It's not a plug but common response.

Impressive looking range. Price is still high and will have to compete against KTM Looking forward to the reviews.

Ne how Will. Welcome to the restricted power world of mostly uk bikers.

But the motor was only lightly used going by the condition of the bike it came off

Done

The batteries are connected in serial for 36 volts giving 12ah max. With SLA ( sealed lead acid) batteries discharge below 50percent is not a good idea as it shortens the lifespan. So effectively 6 ah. A charge with your charger would take about 4 hours. The recommendation is lithium upgrade...

D8veh and I might not agree on the hub vs crank issue but he is about the most knowledgable here on builds and a spare wheel could be made /bought in case you damaged yours. The only thing that might change his mind on crank drive is do you ware lycra to cycle,(ie are you qute a serious...

So they have plenty of stopping power unless it's wet? Ergo they do not work in the wet. So the advice is use disks.

Ya canna fool the laws of physics. Climbing hills takes energy. D8veh may have the best hill climbing hub bikes but that will eat battery life. Crank drives are efficient in power use. I was able to get 40 miles out of a Panasonic 260 watt hour system. The power draw from all the motors vary...

My impolite reply might have off as second word

Glad you like the bikes and welcome

Julie I am very much in a minority here but. You are aiming for 250 miles a week. That's serious cycling more than most club cyclists do. A hub drive kit can supply the additional power to help you and last the distance. A recumbent bicycle will help you with comfort and reduced energy...

But with £7-800 you can get a new bike with warrantee. Or a better bike secondhand? If you are not technical why build?

I will have to post pictures of my BH carbon forks. Head on collision and they are intact. The alloy tube bent at the join with headset though. Excellent forks in my opinion.
