    Giant XR E+ De-restrict

    the motor looks like a direct drive model. The battery is 36V 11AH, it's not going to be very good in pulling power compared to a 750W BBS02. You should at least try a crank drive (any crank drive), before buying.

    the controller is probably at the base of the battery mounting. The LCD casing is too thin for that.

    the problem with derailleur gears that need constant adjustment usually comes down to soft, low quality outer cables.

    I'm in a dilemma not sure what to do.?????

    Sounds like lots of fun. I'd keep all three. Correction: I'd add a BPM CST kit to the Voodoo.

    the Sundowner is a big Dutch bike, front motor, rear Nexus 7 hub gear, so 7-gears, I can't remember how many teeth the chainring has, it was a about 3 years ago when I rode it. You have to ask Andy @ woosh.

    the Sundowner has a big frame, you need to be 5ft 10 plus to be comfortable on it. It appeals to tall (and heavy) riders and should really be fitted with a BPM motor and 15AH battery. My source says that's under way.

    death of an alien?

    you could connect three 12V SLAs in series to power your bike. Put a 25A slow glass fuse in series too.

    ebike for commuting & pre-school runs & bike shed size problem

    I tried a couple Ezee and also a couple of Ansmann bikes, all are very well engineered, so it's difficult to choose just from the point of view of price or finish or engineering or comfort or support but I'd say the Ezee bikes give about 30%-40% more pulling power.

    Bike for specific needs?

    Southend is their base of operations. They keep all their stock and prepare bikes there, Cambridge is only a showroom. You can test ride bikes from both locations but only take away bikes from Southend.

    Crazy cheap prices on ebay out of Hong Kong

    I've been to Hong Kong a few times. The place is awash with excess stock. You can find watches, jewelry, consumer electronics and clothing at well below production cost. The reason these guys operate from Hong Kong is that they don't need export licence to trade with foreigners like the...

    Eclipse Bikes Bafang BBS02 48v 750w mysteriously disappears

    woosh don't charge as much as you said they do. Check their web page: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit They recommend only their 36V 15AH battery for use with the BBS01/BBS02 up to 500W because any battery with smaller capacity does not have high enough continuous discharge rate and they don't...

    My kit has arrived and oh my it looks confusing!

    when you take the bottom bracket out, you'll have the choice of where to install the pedal sensor. You don't have to buy a new sensor unless you have absolutely no space on the chain side. Turn the bike upside down and take a close up picture of the bottom bracket if you think you may run into...

    My kit has arrived and oh my it looks confusing!

    There are pedal sensors with very small magnet discs designed for mounting to the left side of the BB, yours is not one of those. Your shoe can easily knock the large magnet disc (if mounted on the left side) and brake the small plastic fingers that keep it tight against the bottom bracket spindle.

    ebike for commuting & pre-school runs & bike shed size problem

    If your main criterion is pulling power then forget the Ansmanns. The Ezee Street has better motor with greater pulling power.
