Yes - this was all the wires that come out the controller, especially the battery xt90 connecter - there wasn't room / battery wire connector wasn't long enough to stuff it all into the controller box, so I cut the end off an old tennis racquet cover and taped that on to the bottom of the...

I was just thinking the same, I'm sure I saw it on the instructions somewhere to install it on the left, will correct it when I fit the new handlebars. The cockpit is getting a bit crowded, I can see why you go for combined shifters/ brake levers. I was also wondering if I could go to one cog...

Thanks - yes - I tried to re-use some mountain bike mud guards (that I think were intended for a 29er) that I bought for another bike years ago - which got in the way of the rear rack normal mounting points. I'll add some normal mudguards to the list !

OK - this is how far I've got with it It's a bit Heath Robinson in places, but it all works - please let me know any glaring mistakes ! Started off with the donor Carrera Vulcan £75, the SWX02 kit without battery was £252 - I'm just using the battery for my mountain bike that came with the...

what's a spire per volt !

Is it not identical to the RM G020.500 - they just stamp 500 on it when they are marketing it as part of a 500w kit ? (with 48v battery rather than 36V) e.g. here (I just ordered the kit and it had RM G020.500 stamped on it , without the battery for a second hand 26" wheel Carrera Vulcan - it...

what does everyone think of these ?

48V 19.2AH, LG21700 Cell, suitable for 250W 350W 500W 750W 1000W 1500W motor. Max Constant Discharge Current: 45A, Charger: 54.6V 3A. Discharge connector: XT60(Female &Male) @Woosh can probably give you better advice but I think the LG 21700 cells are good (if the battery is really using them)...

Or another alternative would be to fit something like https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#dwg22c-48v-kit to your own donor bike - preferably something with hydraulic disk brakes and enough room in the frame to fit the battery - there seems like plenty of second hand bikes on marketplace...

Maybe one of these https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gran-camino it says minimum height 5'8" but maybe @Woosh could fit a seat or something so it fits 5'6" ? Or they could possibly fit the same motor and kit to a small framed donor bike and build it for you

That's an interesting thought, are handlebar mounted mirrors less shaky on front suspension bikes ?

Thanks for the recommendation! They had the RHS ones here https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/accessories/left-zefal-dooback-2-mirror/

Ammo case (but REMOVE THE SEALS) - seems like a good option in all the tests I have been able to find - LIPO bags don't seem up to ebike batteries

Is there a safe temperature range to store batteries? Could it get too hot or cold ?

Is there similar 'rules of thumb' for rear hub drives and torque arms ?

I'll be interested in what range you get. I have the rear hub version of that motor and also the 20Ah 36v battery. Using a multi meter to measure the voltage drop after a 43 mile trip (about 1/3 usable left), I estimated the range from full was around 65 miles on assist levels 4 and 5 on...

Ah perfect - I will do the same
