    Hub motors for thru axle frame?

    I had a look when converting my gravel bike earlier in the year (as the front has a thru axle) and couldn't find a solution.

    Is it just me?

    I'm dumb founded by this, it makes no sense. I ride occasionally with a friend who gets to the top of a steep hill and proudly declares he's still in his middle cog on the front - I try to explain cadence and knee damage etc but he just thinks he's a better cyclist by not using his lower gears...

    Bike Transport

    Just a silly idea, but how about having a look at the Civic. A very usable car day to day but they have very innovative rear seats that fold back in such a way that with the front wheel popped off I feel you could wheel two bikes in through the rear doors. This saves too much lifting and gives...

    Has anyone bought a rear light alarm with remote control?

    So [and sorry, I'm sure it's in the description] but is the idea that you set it when you walk off and if anyone moves the bike the alarm goes off? I'm out in woop-woop but still useful for the shed

    Road Legal 250W - wow never again

    I'm with Neath, I'm very happy with my 250w rear hub conversion, good to 25mph if unrestricted but it's not very hilly here and its useful reminder never to have a go on a 1500w one! :)

    Competition for a Woosh Zephyr-B

    That looks a lovely bike Tony, very stealthy all in black. You've obviously put alot of thought into it and deserve to do well

    Oh no , not cheating again !

    That's absolutely beautiful. I had assumed based on your post time it was North America but see you're in Italy so must have just got back from a club! :)

    Oh no , not cheating again !

    I was accused of not being a cyclist because I didn't know a couple of expensive racing brands lol

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    Well, that's generally advised anyway (a set of brakes connected directly to the motor to ensure that it also cuts out the motor). Your only challenge would be to how to fit them onto the straight part of the drop handlebar as it'll be wider than the brakes allow

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    It's a noble intention and your right to follow through on that! Clearly as you have the Haibike at the moment you're not going into this totally blind. Your call on riding an a pedelec that's illegal - I'm certainly not against the idea. If it helps, I've only just got into pedelecs having...

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    +1 wot VFR400 said. If you want to stick to BEV consider a Super Soco as it'll work for your height where it was too small for me at 6ft 3in. Or a Nui scooter if you want to hide behind a bit of screen. www.green-mopeds.com have a good selection [i'm not affiliated in any way]

    What happened to Pedelecs?!

    Me too. Although I like the coloured headers for "electric bikes", "Conversion kits" etc. That's a nice clear division of interest

    Changed Commute - Super Soco?

    Great, love the video diary you keep. Yes, range comes a close 2nd to cost that's keeping me away from a BEV. We have a PHEV which works well for our needs out in the UK countryside, my hope is it lasts us for 5-7 years and by then BEV options will work for me.

    Changed Commute - Super Soco?

    Hope you're enjoying your Super Soco. My brother has one in Berlin and loves it, I considered it over a pedelec but am against adding another tax/mot/insurance liability to keep track of. Also think it's a bit small for me at 6ft 3in. The TC Max may have changed my mind due to the top speed...

    Converting my road bike: lessons learnt

    Really got used to the ride now and really enjoying it. The throttle will be staying lol so will have to get the sensor sorted. I'm finding that I want to keep it in PAS level 4 or 5 as it seems to assist better at the top end speeds. Do you think this would be a bad thing for the battery...

    1st Conversion

    Ah, reminds me of my brief foray into riding motorbikes :) Peter - love how stealthy the bike looks, the battery being that low and central must make the bike feel amazing. If it wasn't for my newborn meaning a trip to Afan / terrain that's suitable for full suss is a once-a-year trip I'd be...

    Swytch eBike Kit now available to pre-order with 40% off

    True but still seems to represent reasonable value providing the battery is a good strong Ah. And that's the problem, there's no reference to the Ah of the battery which would put most off if that's useful feedback to Swytch. I would imagine the power pack being on the front handlebars is...
