you want some bling? Martin will have this new Haibike + yamaha motor but you may have to wait a while. It has instant power delivery, torque to match BPM and crank drive. http://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/blog/post/review-yamaha-ebike-system-haibike-sduro-2015/

Ezee Sprint Primo is the best in your list, and well made. The Sirocco and the Sahara are about same in terms of power, battery and equipment. I wouldn't pay much attention to the quoted weight figure.

You also need the correct washers to force the motor spindle into the centre of the lips. On the Woosh Big Bear, this is a set of anti-torque washer inside the fork and locating washer with the correct thickness and diameter to fit the TGS fork's dimple, between the fork and the torque arms so...

Kin, if you are unfit, you need a throttle to rest your legs. Also, with your weight, a big fat hub motor like a BPM will be preferable to a Bosch crank drive.

google translate does a very good job. The good thing about having an electric moped in Holland is you can get it insured easily. Admission Testing of a previously registered in Europe moped or a homemade vehicle If you purchased in a country outside the moped European Union (EU) or European...

you should experiment a lot more, dave. Challenge preconceptions, innovate. So who is the technical guru at Kudos? is it you?

you want to google up Peukert effect. Essentially, SLA is more affected by Peukert effect than Li -ion. So you get more miles out of Li-ion for the same capacity in AH if the average draw is more than 4A-5A, below that, the difference is not significant.

no, it wouldn't be the same. 500W is totally illegal. 250W is not legal but not illegal. I'd like all the suppliers of BPM bikes and Cyclotricity to think hard about their responsibility.

I agree that the Giant Sedona is a well made bike, sensibly price, Tredz have them for £375 new so a slightly second hand could be used as effective donor bike. http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Sedona-Womens-2014-Comfort-Bike_66504.htm?sku=198295 The Big Bear LS is about the same size as the Sedona...

denwyn, it's a good bike, pick it up at a good price before someone else does. It'll be gone within a couple of weeks. As member of the forum, you're assured of the best level of support. http://www.wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand

it's a cracking bike you've landed there John - please come back at some stage and give us a comparison with your old sport CD.

Shane, the benchmark to beat for your project is the £800 Woosh Big Bear LS. The conversion kit alone costs more than £550, that leaves very little money for the donor bike. Unless you intend to arrive at a much better bike than the Big Bear LS, it's not going to save you any money to go for...

would this £6 padlock do?

no, it's not Boris. The xiongda requires a specially programmed controller and a 3-way switch, you are stuck with a kit from xiongda. If anything goes wrong in the future, you'll be stuck without much support. If you want a legal kit, BBS01 is the way to go.

Hello Shane, you can rule out the Woosh Sundowner, too big frame. The Big Bear LS is highly suitable though. the weight limit is a function of total bike + rider, maximum gradient and safe climbing speed (8mph). The Big Bear LS can manage about 10mph with 150kg load on 6% gradient (using the...

he's done a fantastic job that transformed a good bike into a lovely bike. That new saddle is a far cry from the one that came with the bike.

Silas, GloveMakingMan posted a new picture of his Zephyr CDN today. If you want to get in touch with him, just post on his thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/hello-im-a-new-ebiker.17289/page-2

I met recently a guy who's done over 5,000 miles commuting on his Sirocco CDL in the last 11 months. His bike looked remarkably clean. I asked if he looked after his e-bike himself, did he oil anything? he said, what oil? I think his secret is he parked the bike in the bikeshed at work.

the TCM in the Zephyr CDN still has about 70% efficiency at 4.5mph, 36V, 14A (352W). The new version of the TCM will take 20A.
