    Have I missed anything?

    The size of the geared hub motors. The Ezee motor on the Ezee Sprint and the BPM motor on the Big Bear LS are about 50% bigger, heavier and more powerful than the average geared hub motors. Trust me on this, these bikes climb almost any hill in the UK.

    Have I missed anything?

    yes, you can have powerful hub drives like the Ezee I mentioned earlier that take you easily up steep hills without having to think about changing gears. The Woosh equivalent of the Ezee is the Woosh Big Bear LS. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls

    Replacement Smart eBike batteries by BionX,

    I don't know what to make of Smart Ebiker. One moment, he implies he has a boat that can do 40mph, not cheap if you watched the Monaco boat show last night and yet, he bought himself a 'top notch' but cheap bike. And another moment he claims his bike can do 63 miles on a full charge then why did...

    Smart ebike out of production?

    your use of the word 'top notch' may have the reverse effect. The Smart is not competitive on most fronts against well established brands like Haibike, KTM, Cube, Kalkhoff etc. even at sale price of 1500 Euros.

    Vive la France!

    There is an adopted UN resolution (resolution 45/158 of 18 December 1990). I don't know if our goverment have adopted any of it into our laws. The fact remains that maybe 100 million Africans have mobile phones but no jobs. Given half a chance, they'll be prepared to cross into Europe then the...

    Smart ebike out of production?

    I don't want one. If the Smart is currently available at Mercedes dealers at £1,100 then there is some ground for recommending it, but not at the current listed price (£1800). The Suntour kit on Halfords' own Carrera Crossfire E currently at £999 is my current benchmark shop bought bike.

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    I've tried this on a Kalkhoff. The motor is quite difficult to control at very low speed. My legs have a tendency to push harder than necessary to start the motor.

    Battery Location

    best place for the battery is on the downtube for a crank drive or rear hub drive. For a front hub, battery is best on the rear rack.

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    what's wrong with the pedal assist system? people mourn prematurely the passing of the 'twist and go' throttle. I can't see anyone in the UK getting into trouble for having one of those on an otherwise EN15194 bike.
