All points noted, and yes, it is indeed a mess. I guess as with many things, opinions vary, informed or otherwise. I certainly don't profess to be an expert, or have any deep understanding of the legislation, and am probably approaching the issue in a somewhat simplistic manor looking at a...

Perhaps I should have included in my post, the question that I posed to them, which gives a better context Their answer was to the question below, which relates to adding a motor using a legal conversion kit, what do you think? Hi there, There is much discussion on the various E Bike forums...

I contacted the DoT specifically regarding the legality of "twist and Go" on converted bikes that were made before 2016, they replied within a few days, and although they do say that only a court of law can give a definitive interpretation , i't their opinion that it's quite legal and not...

One of the posts that you linked, had one from On One which with minimal filing to fit the anti rotation washers, only £3 each, look really substantial too

will do thanks, just ordered the sprocket and ring

Thanks for that, all makes sense, it would be nice to get a definitive answer, sadly that may well only happen in a court case, I certainly don't want to be the test case! I guess it all comes down to luck, Ive done many thousands of miles over about 60 years since I had my first bike and...

Thanks very much, fitting a flat sprocket's a great suggestion, cheap as chips too! My Alfine chainring was 39 with 20 rear sprocket, ( the smallest/biggest they do specifically for the 11 speed, only 18 and 20 being available} initially I had a 44 but that was too high for the hills for me...

Interesting thread, so is it the general consensus that if a pre 2016 bike is converted a throttle can legally be fitted? Is there any legal documentation anywhere which confirms this please in case of any argument? As mentioned earlier, don't really need on, but would be nice just in case.

Thanks Niggle, and what a super looking bike! I fitted a reversed Nexus 20T ring yesterday, but had a heck of a job to get the retaining spring to fit, maybe the flange was just a tad thicker than the original, anyway I cut the plastic guard off the original, which after thousands of miles...

That's a really good point, thanks a lot, not considered that, the axle is just in the dropout/trackends in the standard Shimano blue and green spacers. Was going to use chain tugs at one time, but never got round to it....Pete

Thanks for that Kirstin, sorry to hear about the frame! I bought the last frame that On One had, as I bought a bike from them with a frame that was too small for me, so changed it for a bigger one, the original went in about a day on eBay. I'll look up the vmi g ring, pleased to know the...

Hi All, apologies in advance if this has been covered ad nauseam, this is my first post, and would appreciate comments from members. I'm in the process of converting my ON ONE POMPETAMINE with rear facing dropouts and an Alfine 11 speed hub. I've fitted a Bafang BBS01, the standard chainring of...
