The Op would have at least three options, a lot of them with the Currie motor were 24v. 1. Buy another battery they are still available. 2. Get it recelled by Jimmy. 3. Buy a Silverfish battery with the fitting kit and swap them over.

Those rear seat tub rack things aren't designed for a heavy battery, eventually probably the clamp will give way due to vibration/fatigue. A QR seat clamp will work but depends if the op is going to leave it for any length of time locked up somewhere ? Eventually the seat/post might get nicked...

If you want a rear rack then buy a ebike already with one. Why buy a lwb bike with a behind the seat battery and the decide it's in the wrong place ?

Have you not tried the reverse front forks yet, apparently one of Halfrauds little tricks.

We aren't brave enough because we're not so stupid to try it in the first place.

Taking Andy- mat's advice is best taken with a large pinch of salt, we all had a chuckle at his disk brake thread and theories. He then went on to tell us how we had the rotors on the wrong way round. Charging fully isn't going to cause issues when you are doing that mileage daily.

For shop warranty you will need local backup not distance with mid motor drives.

Any 2a 42v charger will work with the correct connector. The charger link below shows the various charge connectors used so buy a charger with the connector that suits yours. Either from the link or find a cheaper one...

The only pas /throttle brushed controller I have come across was on AliExpress, they are rare and I don't think you will get a UK/EU sourced item.

If one wants truly puncture proof tyres with the option for gaudy colours then look no further then the Tannus tyre.

There really are some low life scum around, though why Hospitals don't have as secure compound for staff god only knows.

Looks like the pillion rider would have got a hoot out of the ride.

Maybe but we can only speculate as no idea of his work pattern.

Why not down tube battery ?

Putting in 7 - 10hr shift in between a 70 odd mile return commute will be some day let alone 4 or 5 days a week, may be nice on mild days but all year round come rain or shine ? Maybe Kirstin can add his penneth worth as he commutes all year round but nowhere near that mileage I believe.

Sadly Travis you has too many requirements for your needs and you will have to compromise on some, the balance issue and folding issue being the main two I believe. With balance then any clipping in in on the pedals is a no go I believe and folding option often means small wheels. I'm with Ben...

The KT T09s will try to draw to much current from that battery, it is only 10a continuous discharge. The cells will be cheap possibly China unbranded. You need 20/25a min continuous discharge battery.

Above 15.5mph e bikes will use more battery energy as you are then in to wind resistance territory even on a calm day.

No because they don't carry out balancing, only a bms or manual intervention can balance cell groups. If one wants to limit charging voltage you need a smart bms for the battery to guarantee balancing is met, though good cells should remain in balance if you manually charge to lower voltage...
