if agelos wants to spend around £500 on a kit, there is no saving in buying from BMSBATTERY, buy a Woosh CST kit. The 15AH Samsung battery and charger inside the kit is worth £350 alone.

PHEVs like the Mitsubishi Outlander above are primarily ICE vehicles, with bolt on batteries that can be charged by the ICE in 30 minutes while you continue driving. The car weighs 1810kg, average weight for a similar size car, has a 10 gallon tank and gives you an extended range about 800...

Alternatively, there is the £200 Cyclotricity e-kit: http://www.cyclotricity.com/products-page/ You will need to add the LCD (£100) and a 7AH seat post battery (£199) or a 9AH bottle battery (£249), total £500-550. or the £499 Woosh CST kit...

this Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will change people's perception of electric cars, same price as their diesel version, just better:

That the price I pay for peace at home. My wife is a stickler. At empty pelican, she'd allow me to cross if I dismount first.

I don't wear a helmet but never jumped a red light.

it makes sense to fit V-brakes on them to save weight because the motor is small, only 200W, 300W max.

I think PHEVs are going to catch on. Batteries are going down in price until last year at around 6% per annum, mostly due to better manufacturing process and electrode material, more capacity for the same price. From this year, it's more like 10% per annum. Within 8 years, we'll reach below $100...

Open the controller and take a look if anything looks burnt. Post pictures of the controller's inside so we can have a look too. you may need another controller to rule out that isn't where the fault is.

you are crazy. I am scared with the BPM, this one is even scarier.

in general, front wheel drive is easier to fit, rear wheel drive feels more natural to ride, better grip and acceleration. Crank drive is the most expensive and best and you also have to put up with gear change noise at the sprocket but quieter than hub motors. Frog batteries are getting lighter...

I assume the bike is only mechanically damaged, the electrics is still OK. ask the insurance company if you could buy the damaged bike 'as is' - for something like £200 if you accept their offer of £1700. They would probably accept. Then get your old bike repaired by a local bike shop, new...

With the adapter, you can keep your nicer Tern chainring. Alternatively, if you can find a 52T chainring made for the BBS01, it'll do the same job and you can keep the nicer Tern chain guard. I suppose you can always ask someone with a laser cutter if they can make you an adapter.

Col, I hear what you said and I don't seem to miss your points but you seem to miss mine, almost systematically. I am not making a pitch for European made bikes but for European bikes (examples given Cube & Lapierre), not that far from your own view. The same applies for European components, the...

I disagree but we can't really hijack this thread for this. May be you should start a thread about what makes a KTM e-bike better than a £1500 conversion job.

Hayes moved production of most manitou forks to the USA except top of the range air forks, Sapim still make their spokes in Belgium. I am sure looking hard enough, we'll find plenty of examples to contradict one another. The point I try to make is, you can get style and quality for below the...

Manitou forks, Mavic rims and Avid brakes are used on some CB bikes. Magura still make their brakes in Germany. Mavic still make their rims in France. Oh I forgot, spokes! your favorite stick to beat me with!

French forks, German brakes?

I am partial to French style. Eddieo has rather less refined taste...

social climbing, that's me! I am looking to upgrade my Specialized + BBS01 this year.
