Hello Had the above kit for a couple of years now and been pretty reliable. This morning however on riding it I found that it was cutting out. I jangled the cables around a bit and it would usually come back to life but it does appear to be getting worse (this happened a couple of times in the...

Hello I am scouting around for a donor bike to put a mid drive on and have found a decent choice in this Scott Sub 10. It looks like a great bike for a get around conversion with hydraulic discs and Alfine hub gears BUT it has a really esoteric bottom bracket fitting. Does anyone know if this...

From what I have seen on this forum certain bikes aren't suitable for mid-drive systems because of more aggressive chainstays i.e. Voodoo bikes, does anyone know if the 2015 Trek X Caliber (sic) in XL would accommodate a mid drive?

Hello forum goers. I bought a Yosepower 48v rear hub motor kit about two years ago and have no complaints. It is reliable, fairly quick and does what it is supposed to do. I have since though been thinking about a second project (technically third as I converted a bike for my GF too) and have...

Hello I have just finished a conversion for my partner of a nice hybrid bike with the YP 350w 36v rear hub kit. As my partner is only 55kg I thought the step down to a 36v wouldn't be too much of an issue but having taken it out I do think it is significantly less powerful than my 2 year old...

Hello Ok so in essence my question regards how I might get this battery to go on this rack so if you have great ideas you might want to skip the next bit but I felt it needed some context. First up I would like to say I am disappointed with the quality of the battery mount. On my previous kit...

Hello I am looking at donor bikes for a project for my partner (a long saga that many of you have helped with). I have found a decent option for a donor bike, A Specialized Vita in good condition and decent components but not too good. The issue is that it has V Brakes. I am an amateur bike...

I am looking for a decent rack mounted battery option and coming up with very few options. I saw this one and thought that perhaps you might be able to make it fit with disc brakes, any ideas? I know it says it is only for V brakes but does anyone have any ideas if it could be made to work? I...

Ok ok so I'll admit that the answer to this is most likely 'it depends' but humour me ;) I am considering a mid mounted motor for my partner (as well as hub motors - see my other threads - sorry) and just wanted to know which of the options i.e. BBS01, BBS02, TSDZ2 or something else I am...

Hello I am in the process of buying stuff for my partner's conversion of her Cube Mountain bike. She is dead set on a rack mounted battery rather than a downtube so my question is will that be too much on the rear of the bike and will it just wheelie all the time? I am only going to use either...

Delete sorry.

Hello everyone It has been a while since I was on here back in 2019. On the excellent advice on here I ended up buying a Yose Power rear hub 350w 48v with a downtube battery. I ended up buying the 26" wheel version as that is what my donor bike was but unfortunately it has never really fitted...

I have just finished getting my partner's Woosh Gallego back in shape and ready to sell when it dawned on me that a bike I can post will probably sell much better. As you are such an experienced bunch does anyone have any ideas of where to acquire a box big enough to send it in? If not, how much...

Hello, it's been a while since I posted but seen as I got great advice when I bought my kit I thought I would come back when the prospect of selling it has come up. Right so, I see that people are going crazy for electric bikes right now and seen as I have never been entirely happy with mine I...

Hello all I have had this kit for about 6 months now and until recently was using it a couple of times a week to do about 15miles in that week. All was going well and am broadly happy with it (wish the acceleration was a little more rapid but that is minor). With the recent circumstances I was...

Hello My mum would like to get an e-bike but isn't sure it'll stick so doesn't want to go down the super expensive route. I know there are loads of options available but my mum has narrowed it down as she wants hub gears (i.e. Nexus). I think she is very set on this idea and so cannot sway...

So after much deliberation and great advice from people on here I bit the bullet and went and got the Yose Power 48v rear hub kit. I am looking forward to it arriving but whilst I do I am turning my attention to the Freewheel i will need to purchase as my donor bike has a cassette. My donor...

Hello Pedelecians (that will definitely catch on :S) I have been thinking about making my own e-bike for a long time now. I don't want to go through the pre-made route partly because I like the idea of converting my own and two the power limits are too restrictive for what I want. I would...

Hello, my partner uses her Woosh Gallego to commute every day but a few weeks back it started to intermittently cut out. The issue is so bad that she doesn't know whether it will go from one second to the next and has had to use her regular bike to commute as without the assist it is just...
