Nope, doesn`t say that, it declares "However, if it has pedals and is mainly used as a conventional bicycle (unicycle, tricycle, tandem or triplet) and only has electric assistance then it would be covered." i`m just going by their own t`s & c`s

From their FAQ`s... seems any pedal assisted ebike is ok with them??? Is my Electric Cycle covered? If so, what are the restrictions? Where the main source of propulsion is electrical, the cycle would not be covered as it would be classified as a motor vehicle, in which case it should...

sent you a message there biker..

Any of the BBS02 kits would suit

Had to get these---> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raleigh-RNH360-Rounder-Comfort-Handlebar/dp/B002OBKRGU/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1454013831&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=north+road+handlebars plus a Riser to get any sort of relief from lower back pain

cwah, can only suggest you get the supplier to put in a low value invoice. I got a bill from FedEx for £26 for my BBS02 + Battery from China, never had one via UPS though.

Yes, there certainly is... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Insat-Li-NMC-eBike-Battery-Electric-Bike-10-15Ah-24V-36V-48V-e-bike-battery-/331485310419 knowledgeable guy there called Jimmy iirc, drop him an email of your requirements.

I have one of these, very useful for bike work --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/44PCS-Bicycle-Cycling-Maintenance-Repair-Hand-Wrench-Bike-Tool-Kit-Set-Box-Case-/201396831712?hash=item2ee42fc5e0:g:vFAAAOSwwbdWOFIU

Don`t rule out China, <-- my BBS02 750W mtb conversion with a 13aH Battery inc. shipping came in at £550. Import duties via FedEx @ £26 = Total £576. From BTN, they`ll be cheaper now that the new 1000W HD version is selling. Now you`re far from finished there, i reckon before you`re done you...

Decent looking bike that for a BBS HD conversion, 100mm version should fit ok. The frame should take a `watter bottle` battery as well, wouldn`t go below 13aH tho`. Or a frame bag with a beefy 25aH or similar. And hydraulic brakes after that.

Very true flecc, my first ebike was a 250w rear hub motor. All went well at first, i took it to the local parks, canal towpaths etc, it seemed to handle those places with their moderate gradients with ease. So then we moved on to our local country roads - that`s where the hub motor failed...

you`re bound to be able to take that apart and re-cell it for a fraction of the price

That`s the problem i came across when building my ebike, the mtb straight bars were awful, weight was all on the elbow and shoulder joints. I changed them for one of the `north road` comfort bars, more upright stance, you can see they're a fair bit higher than the seat <- see my avatar.

Not so fast guys - Mercedes to the rescue!! Voila!! Mercedes Designer Stabilisers

And these were the batteries for the `lamp`! The rain would get at them and they`d fall apart - early `60`s i think?

Anyone remember these battery lamps? Went dim and rusted in no time at all !

I think you should have `Reliability` in there as an option. possibly at No.6.

by the way are there any British built bicycle/e-bike companies still left in the U.K? And i mean `built` not assembled. I somehow doubt it.

Hah!! `Ethics and environmental considerations` these go right out the window when there`s a pound to be made in this game and try and overlook `the moral high ground` waffle of dubious dealers. You`ll find most e-bike parts have their origins in China and Asia anyhow, as do a lot of things...

you`re not far wide of the mark there my friend, or to cut to the chase here, One Ebike dealers Till going `Kerrchinggg` while another Ebike dealers Till gathers cobwebs hence the hissy fit, and if i were on the lookout for my first e-mtnbike i would give certain elements a very wide berth...
