So I thought I would try out one of these cheapo Chinese 250W 48V bikes as a bike that I could leave at my sisters and use when I go to visit. It would only be a daytime fair weather bike that I would use on rides with my sister and nieces for rides on generally empty roads and light trails in...

Any recommendations for hydraulic brakes with built in 2 pin sensors ?

So I've run out of local second hand folding Carrera Intercity disc 8s to convert ! There are some very nice, very cheap Carrera Intercity disc 9s (with hydraulic disc brakes and 9 speed cassette) but they have 451 rim wheels (and a limited selection of very narrow tyres) Can I just buy a...

These popped up in my feed https://empureo.com/ The thing that struck me was they were quite light , especially with front suspension - 15kg without battery under 18kg with battery (which is about what my intercity disc 8 conversions weigh) The battery is small but you can get extra...

So my chain was coming off in lower gears, closer inspection : This is on a Bafang mid drive. Any recommendations ? ( 10 speed cassette))

Hi all, (3 year old) Bafang bbs02 not turning on I have checked the green 5 pin connection. From the controller to the display and there is 54.4v between P+ and ground so I think it must be something to do with the display ? P850c display with separate power +/- button on the handlebar

Hi all, So I posted on here a few months ago about converting a bike for my sister's coast to coast ride. She did it, all went very well, she was the only one on a converted e-bike amongst all the Bosch e-bikes. She wanted a dropper post fitted , so it's an extra small frame, so I was thinking...

So my very first conversion was 2 years ago. I fitted a Woosh XF08c kit to a Claud Butler step through bike (with rim brakes !) It has a 36v 20Ah rack battery with I believe a Lishui 18 amp controller built into the battery housing I was very pleased with it and my niece "borrowed" it to...

Another question - what's the best thing to do when you are swapping over a disc rotor and the bolts from the original are too long for the motor wheel. I've used a 'rotor spacer' but are there slightly shorter bolts available ?

Just been on a 15 mile ride on my folding bike with a 36V 10Ah battery and KT controller / display, it is showing half full battery on the KT display, when I measure the voltage with a multimeter it is showing 38.9V

My friend asked if I could convert this for his wife Any ideas ? She's very light 60 kg, bike is 11 kg, reasonably flat terrain that they cycle on Any thoughts ?

Just did a similar route, 1hr 45 min ride, on two of my bikes, boardman 29er with mid drive and an old scott genius MC40 hub drive with 26" wheels. When I came back, I noticed I was a lot more "achey" after the (much newer) boardman ride, with arms , shoulders and back aching a bit. When I...

So my sister (55yo) is doing an organised coast to coast e-bike ride in June (mixture of roads and off road). She currently has a 12 year old plus KTM Macina with rim brakes , hub gears and a Bosch Classic+ mid motor and a PowerPack 400 Frame battery that she uses for commuting to work. So...

My sister has a 10 year old KTM Macina that I got a new battery for and she has been using it fine for commuting (Bosch Powerpack 400 Frame Classic+ Line Thanks to @soundwave , this was the battery I got ...

So, I fitted the new front hub motor wheel to my Carrera intercity disc 8 and swapped over the front disc rotor on to the hub motor wheel. The edge of the hydraulic brakes is rubbing against the spokes. Can I put washers on each of the rotor screws to move the rotor outwards ? Or maybe file...

So I have converted a Carrera intercity Disc 8 Folding Bike and handed it over to my mother in law , who seems very happy It has an akm-75 front hub motor and a Yose Power seat tube battery that I have attached to the Front fixing point So I was showing a photo of this to my son and he...

There seems quite a lot of 7 speed freewheel folding bikes with disc brakes (e.g. https://www.compass24.com/compass-folding-bike-20-inch-blue-415370/blue) which seems to get good reviews on bike forums. If I added a hub motor,.my only concern would be the smallest freewheel cog is 14t. If I...

So for "our" sorts of ebikes (ie with peak input power less than 1000w) is there are rule of thumb as to the material that a hub motor is fitted to Front Forks Steel Yes Front Forks Alloy No ? Front Forks Carbon No Rear Dropouts Steel Yes Rear Dropouts Alloy Yes Rear...

Prompted by @saneagle's comment - What is your Pedelec Nirvana ? Here's mine 48V 15 A Sine Wave controller with power based PAS levels - plenty of smooth quiet power for the steepest road hills even for people that are not as slim as they used to be Rear Geared Hub motor - something like...
