Name them if you are so sure otherwise, it looks like hit and run.

Duane is only 5ft 5. The Tornado 18" frame is better suited than the Big Bear 20" frame. I still think best to ask you to convert his bike with the XD motor and a good 36V 11AH battery. Think of a 17kg bike that climbs hill better than a BPM - good?

may I make a suggestion? why don't you ask d8veh to convert your bike with his xiongda XD motor? that motor with a good battery will whisk you up that hill at pretty close to 12mph and it's also the cheapest option (under £500). d8veh is going to get 5 more of those XD motors soon. (or 350W 48V...

the hill down the road from Longwell Green is about 9-10% - you are not heavy, most decent e-bikes will climb it without much trouble. I would like to take the opportunity to make a point about choosing a bike for hills, it seems a recurrent question in this section of the forum. Climbing hills...

It seems that a crank drive kit like the BBS01 would fit your requirement. Big hills + heavey riders = allow 25A current draw, most 8-10AH bottle batteries won't be good enough. You may have to get something like this...

With Lithium Ion batteries, the recommended continuous current draw is 2C, that 8A-10A, and it will affects the bike's climbing ability.

I totally agree with tillson for once. When someone 'buys' a bike under C2W scheme, he is only hiring it, the bike belongs to his employer until such a time the employer decides to sell him the bike. Think about what your employer will do if they found out you got them to buy a BS10.

All motors have a very, very small risk that the gears break up inside causing the motor to seize up. The risk isn't much greater because the cogs are made of metal. I had opened a Xiongda motor with a cog that had two broken metal teeth, the debris simply got ground down to a couple of small...

It's exciting in the sense that it could potentially get rid of crank drives altogether if we can have 3 gears. it's early days for the XD, I would wait another year for the product to mature.

the Vita is nowhere near as good as the Tornado. The Tornado is a very good bike, I tried it last year. Member cottonpicker bought a Tornado, we did not hear much from him recently. I thought the Tornado was the best seller last year wasn't it? and probably still is (question to kudosdave).

dr2501 is only 5ft 5, the Typhoon is too big. The Tornado may do it but he'll need to add mudguard, lights, rack. That pushes the price near the Xion 24 and the Xion has hydraulic brakes. I was thinking of suggesting the Vita which is well within his budget but Bristol has some serious hills...

you won't find much better than Woosh Big Bear or Sirocco CD among the Chinese bikes. The £1495 Kalkhoff Proconnect Xion 24 is excellent for commuting but perhaps a bit too big for your height.

or go self build route, cheap donor bike and a kit.

you don't have much choice under £800. Woosh Sirocco: £585 - 10AH battery, it will do the job. If you can stretch your budget a little, then Woosh Sirocco CD: £819 is much better. It has 15AH battery and crank drive, that means much better hill climbing and range (50-60 miles on a full...

in what way? we debated EN15194 to death many times on this forum, the general consensus is, if the manufacturer says it conforms to EN15194, then it does. There is no reason to say if you can pull wheelies with a bike then it won't pass the test. Manufacturers do not have to put their bikes...

have you downloaded the assembly instructions from their website? http://www.keyde.com/upload/en/AssemblyInstruction.zip The asembly manual does not show brake levers but I assume that the long lead with the turquoise connector plugs into the motor lead, the medium length lead with the black...

There are lots of bikes with full power throttle, mostly Chinese bikes. Can you dad pedal a little? if he can, then that widens the choices. An Ezee step through would certainly pull 100kg up 10% hills, d8veh has tried an Xiongda XD motor last week, it pulled him (100kg) up 14% hill on throttle...

Your range of bikes is about as good as any distributor is going to get - why bother with the dodgy illegal ones?

Nexus 3 is a good choice for folding bikes. Small wheels put less strain on the gearbox, gear change should be easier too. the £699 Woosh CDN could be the best small bike for cities. cwah, you should ask Hatti to let you do a review before they all sell out.
