In French law motor assistance is limited to 25 kph NOT the speed of the e-bike. You can still thunder down hills at speeds up to 90 kph on the open road :D Apparently the Netherlands limit the speed of a pedelec to 25 kph pedaling or not. They don't have very many steep hills to thunder down...

Putting cheap bicycle cover on shopping list.... Tony

Hope I am on topic: can they be made more water resistant with some well placed silicone? Cheers Tony

OK so I found the Woosh trip simulator and they have France!!! So mine is a 15.8 mile round trip with maximum gradient at 15%. Then I thought it would be nice to know how fast I pedal so I fired up the GPS software on my tablet put it in my backpack and went to my girlfriends place...

Just confirming my "naughty boy" status: I would not be seen dead on it either but as for the phone number of the young lady in the video...;) Tony

:) My ancestors came from there so I dina have a problem with Scottish. My girlfriend speaks Basque, that is a wee bit hard to catch on to. Thanks for the gear ratios. There is a spider for sale here that allows mounting any size front sprocket, it comes with a 38 tooth for 92 euros. For road...

@flecc we aren't reading it the same way: "All electric bicycles, except pedelecs up to 25 km/h and a maximum continuous rated motor output of 250W, are subject to type-approval. The type-approval rules have been laid down in Regulation 168/2013. Electric bikes are classified in vehicle...

I have chosen the Bafung 8fun mid drive. I will keep the 7 gears at the back and choose a 44 tooth sprocket for the front. I am a bit rusty on gear ratio choice so when I get building I will be back to the forum with questions on that. I will swap out the very tired looking cogs and I will be...

DISCLAMER: my last motorcycle was a derestricted 125cc - 33 HP instead of the legal 15HP. Oh yes, it was a KTM Sting :p. My pedelec kit build will be 100% street legal which means I will not be mounting the provided thumb throttle - that is illegal here in France unless you are physically...

Hello, I am going to convert my el cheapo big blue and white box store bicycle into a mid motor pedelec. I live in the Basque Country and my bicycle is my only means of personal transport. I have a trailor for shopping and going fishing. My goal is also to take the pain out of going to the...
