I posed this same question over on Endless Sphere, to see if our ideas differ from across the water. " Things have definitely changed from the days of batteries stuck on a rack at the rear of a bike. Haibike have an an aesthetically pleasing battery on their range of bikes, placed where the...

I'm popping over there at the weekend, on an old fishing junk I found in the garage. I'll bring a few bikes back with me ;)

Good find, do you know the seller :p

Why not sell the car and bikes and get yourself a Renault Twizy: Then you'll have the best of both worlds ;)

Both front wheel kits and rear wheel kits have their pros and cons. A front wheel kit will be slightly easier to fit and change tyres, repair punctures etc.. The reason I showed that particular kit, is that the battery is a rear rack mounted one. The weight of the front wheel and the battery at...

Fully understand about you wanting to eat that hill for breakfast. Nasty things hills lol. Would you be able to give forum members an estimate of the steepness of said hill i.e. 5%, 10% etc...

I'll be honest cazzie, with your budget, I think you are being slightly unreasonable with what you want and what you can afford. I've spent around £1300 on my self build. Yes, it climbs hills like a monster, but at a cost. The 8 Fun type kits won't power you up a hill on throttle alone, but they...

Whilst I'm sure that the actual kit might be ok, what you need to watch out for is after sales service. That particular seller actually sells many other non electric bike related items, so probably doesn't really know much about how electric bike components work. If something goes wrong, and...

Spotted this nice black one on eBay. Comes with 12 month warranty too: A2B Hybrid Electric Bike

OMG, that so puts my current bike to shame. It's going in the bin right now and I'm gonna make an offer for that technological masterpiece o_O

Ok, noticed it doesn't pop up when logged in, just when initially visiting the site. It's not a problem now I know I need to be logged in for it not to show. Sometimes I just browse without logging in ;)

I've got pop ups blocked using Firefox too, but for some reason it sneaks through. Great pop up for new members, but for those who are well established, a bit irritating :mad:

Does anyone else think that 'find your ideal electric bike' pop up a tincy wincy bit irritating? Or is it just me? lol

Isn't it amazing how the original owners always manage to lose the charger on expensive bikes.... Mmmmmmm, smells ultra fishy :rolleyes:

Nice find dmsims :)

I do like the look of those in the link, but the ones I put on are the Marathon Plus MTB. Treads pattern's way knobblier than even the ones in the link lol Might change to the Plus Tour once these wear out.

Just to clarify something about the marathons. They do a knobbly tyre version, which is what I'm running and they perform admirably in muddy conditions. I used to run the road version, and flecc's correct in saying that they are squiffy on muddy or greasy surfaces. Likewise, if I'm on wet road...

Perusing again, and came across an in frame 48v battery that looks pretty cool. Certainly better looking than your normal run of the mill round bottle style battery: 48v 10.4Ah in frame lithium ion battery It states max continuous discharge current of 25 amps, although the seller contradicts...

Glad to hear you're happy with the Marathons. Been running the same tyres for over 1000 miles and only one puncture, but suspect that was down to a dodgy inner tube. You can't go wrong with Schwalbe puncture resistant tyres, and well worth the extra cost, for the convenience of not repairing...
