IMHO your mother should not buy a TS bike. At her age, she may run out of steam without much of a warning. A throttle is also a desirable backup and will help her keeping to the same cadence.

you can only do this with two batteries with the same number of cells in their string, that's 13S. You best bet is to get a second battery.

that's the Shimano unit, most seasoned pedelecers would come to the same conclusion. How about taking on the likes of Bafang Maxdrive, Dapu and Shengyi.

Still, we do miss him, don't we?

How about advertising yours on the woosh second hand page? the Big Bear LS on it sold in less than a week.

it does not hurt to try drying it first.

can't you take it indoors and dry it with a hair dryer?

I wonder why Mr Ching has still not made a crank drive bike. With his experience and resource, he would have given Bosch a good challenge.

it all seems straightforward, the only thing that comes to mind is that you are going to lose the full size chain guard. Everything else, motor, battery, sensored brake levers are OK. The thumb throttle will have to be on the left and there seems to be plenty of room for the 800S LCD in the...

is this your Raleigh? that would make a lovely donor bike.

Welcome to the forum, Roy. It's very difficult to get a number plate for a low power moped. This section of the forum is not the best place to ask questions. You should start a new thread here: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/electric-bike-conversion-kits.42/

I don't think Hatti feels the need to push her bikes here. A lot of members have bought her bikes and post frequently anyway.

the OP wants a quiet bike with a twist grip throttle, large wheels, in a low step frame and with a large capacity battery. That would be the woosh Santana CDL. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana-cdl

she's probably too busy packing her bikes right now. Personally, I thought it's a storm in a teacup. The OP may just want KD to say sorry.

you may need a new sensor head, they are less than a fiver each. They have always worked for me at about 1cm.

warwick, try putting a rubber wedge between the speed sensor and the chainstay to bring the sensor head nearer to your magnet. You need a gap less than 1cm for it to work.

I did not know this but reading the advert of that 'just out of the box' second hand Big Bear LS, you can buy a new one year guarantee for it directly from woosh. For all intent and purpose, that's equivalent to getting a new bike. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand

I also had a 1966 Velosolex until I bought my first 2CV.

The Add-E is a very interesting development. Not much real user feedback, just information released by the company. In time, it will surely develop. At the moment, I can see that the company has not answered some of the questions raised in various forums: safety of the proposed Hobby King Lipo...

Most bikes simply do not have throttle input on their controller. To add a throttle, you will have to change the controller. You also need to get the right throttle for it and do you have space on the handlebars to fit it? would it foul against the gear shifter? would it look right?
