    best e bike to derestrict and add throttle

    yes the difference between just changing the settings in a controller is not the same as a dongle as you can set the amps higher ect a dongle on a bosch bike only removes the speed limit and the controller is 20a even if i shunt mod the controller for more amps it is pointless as id have to do...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    Can I just go back to this - What did you mean by the bosch 500w batt is £633? Is this a conversion kit somewhere, I've had a look and cannot find it? Obviously the £750 is for everything, including the bike!

    Right understood, so back paths and pavements are perfectly fine for this type of bike? Or am I mistaken there too?

    Bafang M325 - non-persistent settings?

    I'm heading for a similar issue fitting a Shimano e5000 that is configured for 700c. I plan something along these lines: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/diy-mechanical-dongle.34683/ Plus a cycle computer next to the Shimano display to demonstrate legality to any curious questioners.
