    Bike Purchase Advice - 22 Mile (one way) Commute

    I have a Norco indie 2 from Evans from 2012, converted it to leccy in Autumn 2013 it has now seen four different motors and still going strong as are all the motors fitted now to other bikes. 18 -21 mph is my flat running speed once on the go with 36v at 48v it would be a bout 4 or 5 mph faster.

    Cheap Electric Bike

    Cheap ebikes are cheap for reason; Lighter less power full hub motor. General component parts very basic. Small ah batteries with poor cells.

    Usually yes. Mg1has 10% more ah so should in theory should give 10% more range. The cell amp rating is some 60%+ better so longevity should be better and more able to deliver power with less. voltage sag.

Batteries and mtb now all primed for tomorrow now still, going to be fricking cold and a...

    If you want 0 km/h disconnect or remove it. Other wise no unless it is a new bike built after Jan 2016 then you should be able to set it to 6k/mh to be legal.

    bbso1 250w max speed change?

    Had a quick play with my bbs (original 01 version), switch on then long press + & - simultaneously when screen changes use on/off button to toggle through the screen. Can set to 50km/h max. If it doesn't sense the magnet you get an error 21 and drive will not work.

    The MG1 cell is a 2850mah cell although 10a rated is more like 8a so fairly comparable the Pana PF & Sam 29E. The battery is 14.25 ah and comes with the charger, so 13s 5p for 54.6v max charge. the 14.25ah is the theorectical capacity if taken to 2.7v per cell but like the lipo you won't use the...

    Help needed... Cant decide which bike to buy

    Hubs gears on ebikes aren't common and then tend to push the price higher. A front hub motor does work well in the rain but slick or loose surface you just need to be a bit more sure of your riding style/ability. You need to set out your needs and what you are willing to compromise on. Price...

    Cheap Electric Bike

    50 mile range might be possible if conditions are benign, rider very light, low assist level and a lot of pedal input and totally flat terrain otherwise 25 - 30 might be possible.

    Cheap Electric Bike

    A used ebike off ebay or wherever can be an issue as you are only taking the sellers word regarding battery condition unless you can buy the bike dirt cheap. Buy a new bike and battery with warranty.

    Carrera E replacement.

    Last we heard was Insat/BGA weren't taking on new battery work though that was before Xmas due to illness, Jimmy doesn't trust anyone else so and with the red tape won't train any one else up. I believe that Jimmy was under going cancer treatment.
