I ordered a complete MAC motor kit from EM3EV a few years ago, specified SAL delivery and it took 4 weeks IIRC. You'll probably get stung for import tax, custom charges etc..., as UK customs have clamped down on imported goods. Vendors from China used to falsify the true value of a shipment to...

I can't seem to glean much info about it on the net, but I'm thinking it's quite an oily lube. It actually looks like fox's p**s in a bottle lol. I'm no expert, but I'm wondering if cleaning that stuff off your chain and changing to a dry chain lube might help. Obviously with a dry lube, you...

What chain lube are you using?

That's what happens when you try and fit Tesla car batteries on a bike :p

The trick is to make yourself a cardboard template, using these dimensions, and try it in the frame. Then you'll know for sure:

There's a docking platform that comes with the battery, which attaches to the frame using the water bottle mounts. Difficult to see properly, but your frame looks kinda small, and I'm wondering if you have enough room in the triangle for a dolphin battery. You need some space around the...

That's good news. I think it's a case of try it and see. I reckon the people who don't have any issues, far outweigh the ones that do. I put mine down to buying a cheap base bike, and wish I had spent a few more pennies for a Specialized, like my previous bike.

Just out of interest, do you notice much performance difference between the two versions?

I see no reason why it wouldn't fit your bike. It's better if the Cube has a 68mm bottom bracket to minimize chain alignment issues. Saying that, my current bike is 68mm and had a chain alignment issue from the start, which is why I fitted the custom 42T with improved offset. It's something you...

Out and about today, I came across two cyclists stopped on the path, one of whom had an electric bike. As I rarely see other electric bikes on my journeys, I stopped for a closer look and a chat. The chap was riding a Specialized Sirrus Sport with a kit from Electric Bike Conversions. See...

Don't worry Eddie, you've still got us ;)

That's even worse, 108 watts! The breeze round my way is stronger :p

Crikey, that's the conjoined twin of Behemoth :eek:

See if you can test a Haibike at your nearest stockist. You may be surprised that it's not the heavy Behemoth that you think it is.

So correct me if I'm wrong. I'm assuming that you got the BBS01 36v 350w version with the 18A max current limit. With 'Keep Current' programmed at 20%, that would have given you a useable assistance of only 130 watts, and an amp draw of 3.6 amps. Mmmmm, I can understand sellers programming...

Crikey, there's controller preservation, then there's taking the michael. I can imagine 'Keep Current' at 20% would dull the motors performance to such a level, as to there being next to zero ebike grin when riding. Bet you noticed a big difference moving up to 60%. I've been playing around...

You're so deep in this now. There is no escape... " The greater good...the greater good "

Around 30mph on a fresh battery. Only get a 42T if you have chain alignment issues, intend to ride slow technical trails, or will be climbing very long steep hills on a regular basis. The standard chainring that comes with the kit should be fine for most riders.

Yeah, but I'm also a very busy man. Ten minutes is far too long :p

Just to add to the discussion on changing the 'Keep Current' value. I use my bike mainly on forest tracks and short, steep, muddy and loose gravel paths. Therefore, quite often I need a burst of torque for short periods of time. The 'Keep Current' set at 100% is a good way of maintaining that...
