I've seen a Jetstream official style ebike. The Jetstream is a just a rebranded fujita bike which I think Dahon has or had the rights to sell in Europe and the US and possibly Japan. https://www.tianjinfujita.com/portfolio/hanma8/ However I did see the Hanma8 rebranded and as a ebike and I...

While the connections may not be fully proprietary the battery and controller case is so it would be difficult to do. I feel if you have space you would be better off getting another bike and converting that to an ebike. If weight is a concern then perhaps a low weight road bike with steel forks...

The issues with Aliexpress battery packs is they are mis-sold and underspec, manufacturing maybe poor quality and the cells may not be as stated. However on the opposite side I have seen reports of people who have bought them and have been very pleased with the battery packs and have lasted a...

That's not how certification works for most products and not how it works for ebikes outside the EU. The only reason someone has put 350W on a ebike that is restricted to 15.5mph is they haven't understood how ridiculous EU certification is. However we are now seeing Chinese ebike manufacturers...

Another advantage of folders which I don't think has been mentioned is some families are in small flats nowadays and have no storage outside so the bike has to come into the flat and the smaller you can make it the better. In the same situation there maybe only room for one bike but multiple...

Where did you see the info about being a delivery rider. I can only see information about the rider Sahab Singh waiting for his train. Also I noticed no warning about ebike kits and underspec battery packs. I've noticed on quite a few previous stories about ebike fires which were mid-drive...

That's what gets so annoying about the media how electric bicycles are mixed with electric motorcycles or mopeds. If there are no pedals then the person is not a cyclist and it is not an electric bicycle. I know it can get confusing if you have one of those tiny mopeds from China without pedals...

That reply doesn't seem to make any sense. Maybe it worked in your head but it doesn't actually work in reality. I've only referenced information given to me in threads defending the current 250W legislation. That's what I'm not agreeing with. However I would love to think the current ebike...

The only prosecutions I could find was for big beefy e-scramblers without pedals and a tiny low wattage ebike without pedals. The e-scramblers assisted well above 15.5mph but the little ebike purely lacked pedals. Yes the e-scramblers had twist and go throttles but that wasn't relevant to the...

Yes its been explained and I don't accept that explanation. There are a huge amount of people that don't accept the EU legislation is legitimately 250W and I am one of them. You can argue that close to 900W is an acceptable wattage for a 250W ebike but I don't accept that. The idea that you can...

I really can't see an issue with fitting a throttle only ebike kit to this bike. It was made well before the 2016 date when throttles weren't allowed. If stopped you can just claim you have had to replace ebike components as they failed and wore out. I can't see any realistic way this could be...

This certainly isn't a site orientated to hub motors there are lots of pro mid-drive postings. I'm pro myself but only for off-road use I overall prefer hub motors for road use mainly due to the simplicity and value rather than actually being better from a performance viewpoint. Hub motors are...

That is a really nice looking conversion, so neatly done almost like a pre-built commercial ebike, the cable management is excellent. I can see why you are not totally happy with the brakes though. I think V brakes are fine when combined with a direct drive hub motor with regen or a very low...

Clarks Clout are very decent brakes I've seen long term reports of great reliability on some of the mountain bike forums even improving on Shimano's entry level brakes. They have come fitted on some well reviewed bikes too mainly bargain Halfords bikes admittedly that punch above their price...

Other benefits of the front hub motor are; You aren't messing with rear gearing at all so whatever you have at the moment is fine. By having a front hub motor your rear spokes are full length to give more spring in the rear wheel and comfort Steel forks and a low power hub motor means you you...

I think there are lots of approaches to this problem including of course not having braking sensors. You could consider changing your hydraulic brakes to those with cut off sensors built in. This sort of thing; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006359616537.html You could fit mechanical disc...

I think if you are setting off in your highest gear with a mid-drive ebike of high torque after 500 miles the smallest cog on the cassette could be worn in my opinion. However even on the cheapest cassettes the 2 smallest cogs are loose so you can replace them without replacing the whole...

In fact there is a youtube video by sickbiker/supremebiker who had a Cannondale delivered to him from the factory and you wouldn't believe the amount of work he had to do to get the bike in a decent shape for his customer. It seemed like the whole bike had been poorly put together with many...

I would agree with others this is completely the wrong ebike for her. Something like a Wisper ebike with a throttle would be much easier and safer and mechanically much simpler too so should last longer. The Cube looks like a decent enough mid-drive hybrid bike with basic x-fusion forks but...

I saw this review by GCN sometime ago it seems and like a few others here felt GCN weren't fair about the bike at all but then they are sponsored by high end brands. My own thoughts are only the fork stands out as terrible. However terrible for me as I'm a heavier rider and I find these cheap...
