    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    another vote here for a BBS01b 36v 250w kit, and a smallish hailong battery as I think it'll be more robust and reliable than the Tongsheng mid drives

    e-BMX - It's pointless, but I want one

    For us 50 somethings who lived the BMX craze during the late 70's/early 80's ( I had a Raleigh Super Burner ) and look back on those days with fondness, well now you can do it all again, and you legs will be able to keep going all day like they did when you were 13....$1900 if it ever reaches...

    Ebike for sale on Facebook lol

    To be fair to the owner, it was probably like that when they collected brand new pre built from Halfords. I have seen this with display bikes before in Halfords

    Radrunner Cargo E-Bike? No, it's the new Fiido T1

    Looks interesting, and if it comes with that size battery, that's a lot of bike for the money...I wonder how much it'll cost to ship to the UK and with the dreaded Brexit tax..

    Electric bike Cost

    My current 4 year old Carrera Crossfire-e has done 4.8k miles in 4 years, bike purchased new in 2017 at £680 (after various discounts)...Going on sold bikes on ebay I reckon it's still worth about at least £400-£450 2nd hand if I was to sell on (it's in great condition), so it's cost me based on...

    Carrera impel im-3 Derestric

    leave the bike restricted, you'll travel further on one charge, your battery will last longer, and you'll be getting more exercise..plus you'll have no concerns around the legality if you get stopped by the police or get involved in an accident

    Kudos bike on offer.

    That's great value at £850 each. Plus it looks like they use the Phylion SF-06 battery which Yosepower sell for less than £200 if you want to carry a spare. Good spot

    New Wisper Tailwind coming soon.

    45Nm hub equivalent to 90Nm mid drive ? Be interested in the logic of that as my Carrera Suntour HESC 50Nm hub drive bike doesn't feel as powerful as my Bafang BBS01 250w 80Nm mid drive..
