    Which kit is best for me?

    that model of PAS is not bad, the holes on the disc will collect mud though. Instead of bmsbattery.com - take a look at BTN, they have easy fit parts, great for do it yourself because they'll save you a lot of time. http://b-t-n.en.alibaba.com/productlist.html

    Which kit is best for me?

    that's pretty good, the motor, battery and LCD are OK but I guess you'd want to know what can be improved. 1. you've got Tektro Auriga hydraulic brakes, the selected brake handles are useless. 2. You've got Truvativ crankset, it's very difficult to fit the selected pedelec sensor on them. the...

    Which kit is best for me?

    Athens is a great place, lucky you. all e-bikes are great at first, until you try the next one, then the one after that. After about 4 bikes, you become picky.. One thing for sure, the budget somehow gets higher and higher...

    which area of Greece do you live? the terrain influences the choice of components. If it's very hilly, choose one with good climbing ability. You already have a nice bike, you know what it feels like if you have to swap yours for a Dutch style step through. Well, swapping a rear hub for a front...

    Which kit is best for me?

    you should test ride a front hub and a rear hub bike before making your final decision. They are world apart in handling and feel. Then try a crank drive with bottle battery. When you build your own bike, you have the chance of getting it right excactly how you like it, saving money is only a...

    Any straight replacements for a Bafang SWX 250W front hub motor ?

    the BPM frightens me a little when I start a bit sharp on throttle . it may be superstition but the look of a big knobbly is more re-assuring.

    ebike kit advice needed

    it looks like you have a short somewhere in the motor copper wires. It can't be a blown FET or short in motor cable because the motor runs for 2 seconds, enough for the controller to find the over current somewhere inside the motor and asserts error 6. As soon as the controller raises error 6...

    Any straight replacements for a Bafang SWX 250W front hub motor ?

    the BPM motor is quite happy to take on 20A-25A. It should be matched with a 9FET, 17A to 20A controller for best torque. You will need a battery capable of the same 17-20A continuous. If you install the BPM to the front wheel, make sure that the fork is strong enough, like steel fork or have...

    Stealth electric bike

    it's difficult to say, most bikes are labelled '250W', including the R2 - you should really give a model to compare the R2 with. The R2 can assist easily up to 15mph. It's the demand of hill climbing that shows up differences. It's not a bike for heavy riders. If you weigh around 70kgs, the...

    Stealth electric bike

    the ad is placed by the company that imported it (Juice Bikes) - the £4k RRP is suggested by the same guy so take it with the proverbial pinch. Kudosdave listed some prices from annad.net a few months back. I think you are right about $1800 - $2000 for the R2 with Ultegra set...

    New Woosh bikes?

    there are two believable sources regarding power consumption. 1. Bosch eco mode. This is the standard benchmark, practically quoted by most Bosch bike makers. speed: 20km, gradient: 0, personal: rider's weight: 70kgs, bike: 20kgs motor contributes 30% of whatever the rider puts in. Consumption...

    they are good kits. d8veh is specialist on all things from bmsbattery. the Q100H 36V350W delivers 50% more power than the Cyclotricity e-kit which uses the XF07, about the same power as the £550 Woosh Big Bear front kit. The 11.6AH bottle battery from BMSbattery requires the same space for...

    Oxygen ebike, crossbar/step-thro, advice please!

    there may be another solution. How about asking a member or a bike shop if they could move the electrics from your emate to a donor bike? It may cost you £200 to buy a used step through + £120 labour to move the electrics.

    Using existing wheel on hub conversion

    the headset and steerer on the Tern look like it's custom made, not possible to be replaced with that fork from Simino. Even if it were possible, you would still need to buy expensive headset tools.
