    Conversion Kit for Kona Ute

    Ross Very many thanks for your reply and advice. I think you have confirmed my suspicion that a 250w motor might be a bit weak for this application. And once you step up to 500 w it seems a rear drive set up becomes the only option. I will check out the supplier you mention. Thanks again. Peter

    Conversion Kit for Kona Ute

    I am wondering if anyone here has a Kona Ute and if so has made a good e bike conversion? For the uninitiated, the Ute is a long wheelbase bike with a large rear load bed My initial thoughts favour a front wheel motor kit, but I am wondering if a 250 w motor might be a bit underpowered given...

    Hi again. So as of this moment no-one has risen to your bet challenge and can offer a better bike at that money? From what I can gather you are not a nuetral observer as you have your own business interest? So if you see a gap in the market to outspec the gocycle for less the challenge for you...

    In my experience so far with the bike set up for assistance to 20mph, 3rd gear is perfect up to the 20mph cut off, but you would be ideally looking for another hear if you wanted to go faster. Of course if you could program the bike for more than 20 mph you could always stop peddling if you...

    So who in your opinion has designed and offers a better bike at around £2100 this being the offer price of the GS.? It would be good if your suggestions could meet my needs and pack into a car boot and not be too heavy, say no more than the 16kg gocycle. Very interested in what you suggest.

    Well said. As far as I can see the gocycle excels with innovative and practical design while also delivering aesthetically and functionally. It adjusts easily to suit riders of differing sizes, It rides and steers well and feels very stable and sure. It is very manouverable. It is comfortable...

    Hi Had not seen your post, my comments were made given I had some anticipation rather than experience that the gocycle might be a bit controversial in the ebike community. This on account that it is a bit different and relatively expensive and could easily be dismissed as a bike for well heeled...

    Yes I wondered how these bikes might be viewed here! Maybe a hint too design conscious and Avant Garde for the more hair shirt biker, and also being relatively expensive always encourages criticism from those who can't see value beyond the price. For me the form combined with function is part of...
