    Legal or not?

    and it`s a heavy one at 28.4 kg`s, you would be better off with an electric scooter/moped as a point of interest is there any legit ebike that has that type of child seat ? In fact is it legal to carry a passenger at all on an ebike??

    Why a Bafang BBSxx programming cable is a worthy investment!

    Very true, All bikes and riders won`t be the same of course, different types of setup, gearing, weight etc. Thankfully Bafang isn`t like Bosch, Yamaha etc as their system isn`t locked down. This is an excellent site for those who are about to re-programme...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Well they were asking for it weren`t they? electric skateboards on pavements and some contraption of an electric bike with no pedaling. Never mind Belfast, in any UK city they`d be asking for trouble.

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    Similar problem, simple solution, there`s a range of interchangeable cogs, about a fiver a piece for the Alfine, 16-18-20-22 etc, my Alfine8 came with the 20T as standard, it`s now on a 16T as you say the 11 isn`t as robust as the Alfine8

    Newbie - Advice required on conversion legals please?

    possibly you`re misunderstanding, as long as you move the pedals forward slowly the motor will input whatever power level you`ve selected, it doesn`t need any pressure from you on the pedals as it does with a torque based system. Think of it as if you would sit on a bike with the chain off, it`s...

    Newbie - Advice required on conversion legals please?

    Possibly the ones you`ve tested so far have been of the `torque` sensored variety whereby you have to keep putting a certain pressure on the pedals to make the motor work. Mine are `cadence` sensored where no pressure on the pedals is needed just a tiny movement forward on the pedals will...

    Newbie - Advice required on conversion legals please?

    If a throttle causes you such distress, you can always chuck it in the bin and use your ebike like the rest of us, the PAS power settings do virtually the same job. `mountain` and `molehill` spring to mind.

    Newbie - Advice required on conversion legals please?

    i wouldn`t really get hung up on this throttle thing, you can 99% of the time do without it, i rarely use it with my conversion (Bafang BBS). If you get really exhausted just gently moving the pedals forward gives you power, no exertion needed.
