That's true Ray, Big Bears laugh at hills.

I have an Ezee front hub on my solo bike. I find hill climbing around Wales a blast. Most hills are climbed between 8 and 10 mph with input from me, at these speeds the motor is fine and doesn't get hot. Steeper hills can be down to 6 or 7, you can hear the grunt the motor is giving and I'm...

I saw a full page ad for G-Tech in the paper the other day, think it was the Express. Anyway, my first thought was that it must be overpriced to fund such an advertising campaign, now I hear it's on TV too, so reinforcing my suspicion. I never buy anything pushed like this, guess I'm a...

Thanks Momotech, that's a cheeky repair, I like it. Not sure that it's the problem I have though. Haven't noticed any lack of drive, just the rubbing noise. It did it again yesterday after a 2.5 mile climb. Kept it up across some undulations then down a long incline to the pub (15 miles in...

I've done about 2500 miles with my conversion now, it's hauled me up and around the hills of west Wales and made me laugh going up stupidly steep stuff I wouldn't walk up. So far so great. However, just lately, there's been an intermittent rubbing or catching sound from the front wheel. Bike...

Hi David, I converted my Carrera Crossfire (700c) with an Ezee kit. Front hub, comes with a 160mm disc. Standard kit is with an LED handlebar control giving 5 levels of power. I mostly use level two. Bike started with triple front chainring but I ditched the smallest to fit pas sensor. Mine...

These guys are just outside Abereron, although they don't stock the bikes you're asking about, it's somewhere to start, maybe get a test ride or two. http://www.cyclemart.co.uk/electric-road-trail-bikes/4587062275

Welcome, go for it and good luck. As others will probably confirm, I think 39v is a little low for a fully charged battery, think it's more like 41 and a bit. But hey, if it works....... Happy pedaleccing.

Thanks Flecc. I see your bars are as crowded as mine. I fear those wouldn't work for me as my bars get thicker towards the middle.

What bar ends can be fitted and still use a Mirrcyle mirror? A lot of bar ends just look like bare metal tube, a bit cold in winter? I'm looking for some sculpted ones I can use with the mirror.

Took the rig out for a test drive over the Bank holiday weekend. As suspected, the trailer bounced around on our 'well made' local roads. It was alarming at first, but I could see that the bikes were not moving relative to the trailer. They stayed nicely upright and rigid. Cornering wasn't a...

Welcome Yarrow. It certainly did with me. Now to be seen trundling 'round the lanes of west Wales, even after a days work. Enjoy.

Jolly well done, and why not? Welcome....................have you got a bike?

A Big Bear and a Carrera conversion on a 6x4 trailer. Pictures of trailer adaptation here: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bike-rack-on-a-trailer.23705/ Couldn't find anything on the market to do the job, so got tinkering !

I bought a Carrera Crossfire 3 for conversion. The bike was put together and handed over by a lady bike mechanic who was keen to see it post conversion. Perhaps there's a message in there somewhere?:rolleyes: The odd thing is it was about £50 cheaper to order it online for pickup and assembly...

As I understand it the frame size is measured from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat post tube. That's an accepted standard, isn't it?

I use one of these as a 'cafe' lock: http://www.offerscheck.co.uk/crivit-folding-bike-lock/lidl/2015/kw-12/243230 It is bolted to one of the water bottle mounts, doesn't rattle and it's always there. Key is with my battery key. I do have a heavy duty lock but God it's heavy. Only use it when...

This sounds great, though I don't understand the science. However I recall that standard tungsten filament lamps originally had a huge life span. Then all the manufacturers got together because they realized that, because of the life span, they weren't going to make enough profit. So they...

These boys may be able to help: http://www.cyclemart.co.uk/ They're ar Cilcennin, near Abereron. Not mid Wales perhaps, but they are very helpful and you should be able to get a test ride. It's the frame size that you need to get right, the bigger the wheel the better the ride on our 'rustic'...

Same here. Pre pedalec I was getting out 3 or 4 times a year. Post pedalec I was getting out 3-4 times a week at the height of summer. I'm still discovering some stunning lanes in my part of Wales, not to mention some cruel hills. But the Ezee takes 'em all.
