Hi all I am interested in fitting a Whoosh conversion kit. Just a hub motor and down tube mounted battery. I would really like to see an example in 'the flesh' so to speak. Therefore I am wondering if there is anyone near me who may have an example I could see. I am in Norfolk, NR5, on the...

Thanks for the the advice and tips.

Hello Thank you very much for your helpful advice about the battery, CANbus and also the M25 motor. I didn't know that the motor had proved poor. It sounds like I should steer clear of that e bike.

Hello all I am hoping to be given some advice on a possible e bike purchase. I have seen an Ebco urban city UCR-60 e bike for sale secondhand locally. I like it as it has hub gears , mid drive motor and it is suited to my modest needs of a 20 mile round trip on flat terrain. The V brakes it has...

Hello Thank you for your advice. The Karakum uses V brakes and although not as powerful as disc brakes I think for my light loading and low speeds the V brakes will do. The motor would be 250W. What advantages would a rear wheel motor have over a front hub motor please.

Hello Thank you very much for your information, I am very impressed withthe very helpful and clear Whoosh website. I will be in contact soon.Kind regards Simon

Hi all I am considering aquiring a Dawes Karakum for use as a donor bike for an e bike conversion kit. So I am wondering if anyone has used the same bicycle and were they happy with the conversion? It will be a gents frame, 700c wheels and 700 x 32C tyres. It has an alloy frame but steel forks...

Thank you for your advice, Woosh seem to be held in high esteem on this forum. I haven't done an e bike conversion before so probably would need the back service from Woosh. Kind regards

Hi Thanks for you reply. Whoosh was recommended to me and the site had many clear pitures and lots of clear advice. Their site was extemely impressive.

Thank you for your clear and detailed reply--brilliant!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you, the Amazon bike did look the sort of item that would be suitable for me. I'm just looking for as basic a model as possible, for example I don't need a quick release seat ( easy to steal) , I do worry that there would be no dealer back up.

Thank you. Have you any thoughts about Yose Power conversions?

Thanks for the advice. I will be using the e bike just for short trips, no steep hills. I thought a front hub motor saves all the power going through the chain/sprockets and gives two wheel drive in effect.Is there a disadvantage to front hubs?

Hello all I am considering getting a front hub ebike conversion kit. The bicycle I am considering getting secondhand as a doner is something like a Dawes Karakum or Dawes Mojave ( although a 7 to 11 speed rear hub gear system would also be looked at). Has anyone got any recommendations: 1) for...
