I've been using Finish Line Dry Bike Lubricant for the last 1500 miles and the chain is still in excellent condition. Bear in mind that I'm using it on a Bafang BBS02 running up to 1200 watts of power through the drivetrain. I run the chain through a clean/dry rag after every 20 miles or so...

I wouldn't go that far lol :D

Apologies for the delayed response SpezElec. I'll try to keep it simple and add some examples. The 'Keep Current' can be adjusted by using a programming cable and Bafang's programming software. I got my cable from here...

I'm considering the Hutchinson Toros. Can get a pair for 29 quid including delivery. The Schwalbe Land Cruisers just don't cut the mustard in the mud.

If you take a look through their feedback, there's plenty of buyers happy with the 500w mountain bike: Electric Bike Conversions Feedback Page Superb value for money for what you get!

Welcome to the forum kiaboy. It's not always this chaotic, just once in a while lol. Hope you find what you are looking for. If not, I believe Haibike and Focus do S-Pedelecs, so maybe one of their bikes will take your fancy and be easier to source in the UK ;)

Maybe the OP should pose their question again, but this time omitting the info about contacting their dealer. Then they might get the answer they are looking for and this thread would save some server space. To the OP. I have spent some time this evening searching the web for the answer you are...

Doubt it, Harry's a Haibike Xduro fan :p

Totally agree Dave, the private land/off-road references should have been abolished yonks ago. It's totally misleading, especially for newbies to the scene. I'm man enough to admit that I do exactly this :eek:

They didn't ask the question whether it was legal or not, just that the dealer was reluctant to flash it to the alternative mode. I'm sure the dealer told them the reasons why they wouldn't do this, so the OP probably knows the legalities already. No, they haven't come back, because instead of...

I have no issue with any member stating the facts about the legalities of ebikes, but when the OP's original question was: Is there any modders out there with the correct diagnostic tools required to carry out this modification or is my only hope to buy from Germany or Holland then why not...

I have to agree with Rob on this one. The OP more than likely understands the risks involved, and I doubt whether the dealer's business is at risk either. You're more at risk of alienating potential customers from the KTM brand with the incessant comments about legality. Come on dude... Give...

Apologies if this has already been posted before, but it looks like Bafang are upping the game with a more powerful mid drive kit: http://em3ev.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=215 Prepare to break chains quicker, wear out gears faster and shred tyres in minutes :p

I noticed the same when I fitted the same tyres to my previous bike. I just reckon the Marathon Plus tyres have a thicker and sturdier bead than most, which causes the slight raise around the valve area. As long as they are seated ok and you haven't pinched the inner tube between the bead and...

and reliable, whereas the generic Chinese kits can require a little more tweaking and maintenance, than the likes of a properly designed electric bike such as a Haibike.

I do understand where you are coming from Rob. If the OP has ridden the likes of an electric Haibike, or a top branded non powered bike before, then they are likely to be disappointed. If they have ridden nothing but Halford's Trax specials (I own one lol), then they probably won't notice much...

You can't generalize all 1000+ watt hub bikes as being a dreadful, harsh, cycling experience. My previous 1500w MAC rear hub motored bike was very comfortable, smooth and highly controllable, nothing like what you describe. I do agree with you entirely that JOB100 should think long and hard...

Nice find SPYDER. Any battery pack with Panasonic or Samsung cells in it, is a win win situation in my eyes :)

Lol, that's true. If you need any advice on fitting the kit, don't be afraid to ask. There's members on this forum that eat, sleep and breathe electric bike kits :p

I doubt you'll be disappointed with your choice. You can't argue with a 20% discount.. Enjoy your new kit when it arrives ;)
