Not used them but bargin price for almost 500watt hours.

I think the advice then is sell cheap keep it for your self or split for spares. Ie hub, motor, charger and control when someone needs them. Sorry

Flecc with the correction. Freego hawk.

Shane Not a selection only one bike but available to test in gourock at Phillips cycles. But a whisper hawk with discount to whoosh price levels for paint imperfection. Worth a test ride and could be supporting your LBS.

I doubt it's worth spending £300 to get the bike upto £500 value. Look at the competition and other bikes sold here. Landy guy is selling his check it out?

That's what I paid for it. It was in immaculate condition. I split it and upgraded the motor to 36volt with 12 amp battery. If you are prepared to wait and sell a bit at a time you could get more. The gear hub could be worth a few bob but check out the bikes sold here already. The old panasonics...

I don't want to buy it but your problem is the battery. With a good battery you could get £500. A similar bike with no battery went for £200 last week to be broken as spares. It's not valueless but not worth a lot now sorry

Waiting for custom?

Just been into Phillips cycles in gourock. He has a hawk with 10 amp 36volt battery new but scuff on paint, hence good discount on price at LBS, with support. Phone 01475648223

The other factor is discharge ratios. A sealed lead battery will have a very short lifespan if it is run down to 20 percent charged. The plates get distorted and other things happen. A modern lithium can provide 99 percent and show no negative affects not even memory effect. It's complex and...

The looks are one thing but the real killer is power, it's realitivley easy to buy a KW motor it getting batteries to supply the juice and keep doing it all day or even 4 hours at 25mph your range is limited. This is mostly the killer. In holland you should see some velomobile,s the best way to...

Which bike are you interested in and why?

Welcome There are a number of electric bikes about already. What are you going to do to make yours different? And why?

I think that this and Fleccs previous post should be summarised and made into a sticky so everyone can read and agree a sensible position. Is might reduce some of the pointless arguments. If D8veh,s points about compliance with BSA not CE being uk standard could just about set the ground rules...

But we want you in the hearse Hattie (front seat obviously)

But for that sort of money you could get an electric velomobile! That would motor and keep your sandwiches dry

You canna fool the laws of physics captain. D8veh is quoting a real achievable range. If you have a legally bike and pedal at circa 18 on the flat you do all the propulsion. And use 0 amps so infinite range on a 10 watt battery. If you sweat and work you can get 60 miles out of a 428 watt...

Welcome Jealous of the car. Keep an eye on the classifieds here you can get a good bike or two come up.

If you can happily pedal at 20 then ebikes will struggle to make a difference. Adding a kit to your bike will give you increased range or reduced effort if you go slowly. Most people average 15 ish with slow up hill and faster down. A kit could take the sting out of the climbs and headwinds...

Jim Strava reassures me that I have done 102kph. I think that apps require a pinch of salt. 80 kph yes ;-)
