the bike is worth at present £350 but with a new 14AH battery, its value should be £775 as the battery will come with new two year guarantee or £875 with both old and new batteries. This bike has a Nexus 7 - not cheap old derailleur. What can you buy with £775 that comes anywhere near?

mjwobble, how much did you pay for your bike if you don't mind me asking?

totally. It's difficult not to be impressed. their battery is made by simplo - one of the best known brands and guaranteed for 2 years. Mechanically guaranteed for 5 years and the frame for life.

can it be adapted for hydraulic brakes?

I don't think it's fair to compare ebay prices or BMS's for that matter with john's. why should a quality battery from john cost any less than a quality battery from Bosch?

martin, it was me deleting the question I thought maybe not of much interest. From esthetic point of view, BH bikes always cause me to stop and admire whenever I spot a new model in a shop window. I thought BH are very attractively priced too.

it should be near silent, being a direct drive. All good probably, except the weight.

I suspect that there is an awful lot of e-bikes being bought then left gathering dust after being ridden a few times. Those tend to be 100% low cost Chinese bikes. After 3 months in the shed, the battery is allowed to run totally flat, then recharging starts to fail etc. - that does not do much...

No. One third more yes.

quite a lot of bikes are still fitted with cups and bearings bottom brackets - perfectly functional but can get loosened quite quickly, requiring maintenance more often. My guess is that the LBS seeing one of those, promptly suggested replacing with a sealed cartridge type. A new sealed...

I've had 8-Fun SWX hub motor before and now BBS01 crank, the crank is quieter and faster than the hub - no contest really.

just like all other forms of personal transport, the running cost is only acceptably low if you make good use of your e-bike. Some people don't want to ride any more after less than a year: cost per mile > 50p - £1 Use the bike less than 10 miles per week (eg go shopping locally): cost per mile...

I don't have throttle on my bike but as far as I am aware, the police is not chasing after people who use throttle. We haven't formally adopted EN15194 anyway. When we do, some of us will simply unplug the throttle, not such a big deal.

what was the brown stuff (RUST + GREASE? water getting through the motor axle?) and what caused it to come out? can't help being curious, sorry.

I can't see why they should complain: safety test will have to go a fair bit beyond normal load, if some bikes have their handlebars broken during test then the simplest thing to do is to offer worried customers a chance to buy upgrades.

our planet receives 8,000 times more energy directly from the sun than all we burn today - including all the renewable wood. There is no way that a few hundred years of burning fossil fuel can determine earth weather. Yet, our children are obliged to learn (without qualification or...

This is a middle of the road analysis of the economics of Hinckley C: Hinkley Point C nuclear power station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is clear that the nuclear builders cannot make a good economic case so why the tories went for it unless there are powerful [behind the curtain]...

the only valid support for nuclear generation is this technology causes relatively lower carbon emission - I am not persuaded that carbon emission is a problem, for at least several hundred years. If you remove carbon targets, nobody is going to support nuclear. Now, who funds so many...
