You can try https://99spokes.com/en-GB to compare specs. I don't think you will find many here who would try and compare both bikes. I think you should let your friend to make his own choice.

Nice. HS33 are top quality. It might make more sense to buy one of new bikes I posted above lol https://www.magura.com/en/EUR/product/hs33

Oh... OK. Indeed Clarks brake pads are not exactly top of the range available out there, but you didn't say which exactly pads you have. https://www.clarks.bike/product-range/brake-caliper-pads.html I am not a big fan of Clarks brakes, but they offer good value for money. There are better and...

Or make some effort. My 15Ah battery drops one bar out of five on 65km travel.

I think I remember Seneagle telling you to install fork with disc brake mounts on back when you were converting your bike... but don't worry, you will get there eventually at some point ;) Edit It is a great time to upgrade your bike BTW. Look at this beauty...

I wonder if it is possible to buy fake BBSHD bulb to glue to BB to look cool.

Wouldn't that be lovely? With all spare parts available think about opportunity to tinker with your motor during long winter nights. That is way more better than Netflix! And if it is not enough, you can buy cooling kit and temperature sensor.

This is probably the best possible conclusion to the whole hub vs. mid conflict.

Hmm... didn't Nealh mentioned recently he is using TSDZ2? Traitor! ;)

I wish you have done some research before buying. But don't worry, move forward and don't look back. Welcome .

Welcome to rip-off economy. You can go to bike shop and ask them why car tyre is cheaper than bike tyre. I bet they won't like that question. Prices in cycling industry are insane. More and more people can see that.

Quite often I see fake velue declaration on Chinese Web sites, so I almost always buy from within UK.

When there is a will, there is a way. I kept bike with folded handlebars on the corridor for few months because she'd was already full of bikes. .. Wife didn't like it though :) If right mechanism is used it should be easy to lift bike. Even very heavy one.

Not enough space to hang bike on the wall or under ceiling? Or store bike vertically?

There is no legal limit on motor power. There is 250W limit on continuous rated power which in practice is a sticker put on motor by manufacturer. If my math is correct, this motor is 750W and yet still rated 250W. Edit: You can load custom software into it and unlock it to 30A. Insane, but...

Yes. Unfortunately there is a gap on the market. There are no decent ready made ebikes on the market at affordable prices. You can get Chinese clankers like yours (sorry) or super expensive bikes with Shitmano/Bosch etc motors. And there is nothing in between.

Why? Nucleus VR hydraulic disc brakes, air fork for £200 TSDZ2B motor. 250W 36V for around £200 from PSW. If you lucky and find in stock in UK, if not then shipped from Germany. Battery 36V 12.5Ah on Chinese cells for £120 from PSW. Not the best, but decent enough. All together around £520...

I humbly disagree. Here comes advantage of DIY builds. Nucleus VRS 1x10 Deore, hydraulic disc brakes, air fork for £250 Battery Hailong Max 48V 19.2AH On Samsung cells from PSW. £195 shipped from UK. You might need a spare battery in backpack. TSDZ8 torque sensor motor from Woosh for £329...

I think your discussion is purely academical and as such a bit detached from reality. At this moment good quality bikes are cheap bikes. https://www.wiggle.com/p/vitus-nucleus-27-vr-mountain-bike-blue?color=velocity-blue&sizeStandard=L

Nonsense? You say they are not ignorant and blind. They sent 11k letters to a man in Wales.
