Have you considered building with a kit? Not as hard as you might think, and you can get exactly what you want. Basic kit will cost you around £400-500, and will get you a range of 20-40 depending on precise spec. If you don't want to go the DIY route, the Kudos Tornado is pretty discrete. It...

I only asked about the gents bike, but I notice in the description of the ladies bike that 'the battery is dead and needs recharging', implying the seller has no charger. Definitely TWOCed.

I asked the seller about charger. He responded: "The previous owner was unaware where either of these items were (the battery and charger)". It possible that this guy has purchased from whoever stole it, but it does seem most likely that its stolen.

I have sent a quick message, assuming he/she will get an email.

...except that the kalkhoff pro connect S is a moped that looks like a bike.

I just tried it, and managed it first time. It was awesome, but all my shopping fell out of the front basket.

Sorry, it was my mistake. I was thinking of lipos.

**** or get off the pot. Or perhaps, just get off the pot.

Yes d8veh, I was confusing Lipos and LiFePo4. Li-ion is the way forward.

GRP is Glass Reinforced Plastic, or fibre glass. As far as understand it, comparing Li-ion to LiFePo4: LiFePo4 slightly more expensive, but will last for more discharge cycles. I think it has a higher energy density, but is more likely to burn your house down. Charging seems to more of a...

Slightly OT, but might be some help to OP, you can get a functional Digital Multi Meter (DMM) for a just over £5 from Toolstation - they have a branches in most major towns: Toolstation > Hand Tools > Electricians Tools > Digital Multi Meter I bought one the other day, just for keeping on...

I have seen these battery-less systems in the past. The most popular ones use energy that is stored within the human rider, and delivered to the bike through his/her legs.

ITV4: I was unaware they showed programs - I've only ever seen adverts on it. Thanks for the heads up!

I assume it makes for more nimble off road handling, but that's just a guess. Certainly not an option I've ever seriously considered for one of my bikes - just too weird. No need to be sorry dude. Are you talking about the cruiser bike on the 8fun website? If so then perhaps, but they could...

As for battery placement, here are some things I've seen done: 1. Dedicated rear rack, something like this: Rack For Our 03 and 05 Battery Case - BMSBATTERY 2. A D8veH Special football boot bag:http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/13226-new-build-carrera-kracken-conversion.html...

The major advantage of conversion is that you can get exactly what you require. The major difficulty is deciding what you want. Before considering converting, you need to have an idea of the following parameters: Range, speed, power, terrain, budget, style, luggage, weight(yours), weight(bike)...

I have one of these (Or something very similar):2 Bike Tow Bar Car Carrier Rack | eBay Advantages: Cheap (£15!), easy to store, robust, quick to fit. Disadvantages: Need a towball, can't tow while using it, may need a lightboard. I normally use it for single bike/short journeys but I have...

A couple of years back as a first step into electric bikes I purchased a Hill Topper kit form Clean Republic. I purchased the 24v/7ah SLA version of the kit. It was ok, but I wanted more range from it, so I upgraded the battery to 14ah. I then concentrated on my other bike, and the HT sat...
