    Halford's ebikes

    My wife is getting rid of her car through a car scrappage scheme. The scheme will give her £2000 in vouchers to spend on ebikes but only a specific shops. The options are quite limited and include Halfords. Can anyone tell me if Halfords sell any decent ebikes? I have a cube tourer 400 and would...

    What bike

    I have a friend who wants to convert a bike into an ebike for his wife. Can anyone suggest a suitable bike to convert? It does need to be a step through and have 26 inch wheels. Thank you in advance.

    Batavus Lento

    Many thanks to all who have advised and guided me through the building of my ebike. Managed to ride it today, still some tweaks, but feel a sense of achievement. Many thanks

    Batavus Lento

    On another note. I have purchased a battery (see pictures) and for the life of me I can't seem to work out how to get the backing plate off so I can attach it to the bike. I have pulled, pushed, wiggled and got a little frustrated. Either I'm missing something or ? Any help would certainly be...

    Batavus Lento

    Forgot to say. Can anyone tell me how they should be connected. There is nothing in either the conversion or battery manuals. Thanks

    As a complete novice with ebike conversion I am struggling with the final part - connecting the battery to the controller. I have attached photos from the battery and controller connection. Thanks

    Batavus Lento

    I have purchased a Yose conversion kit (see picture). The controller says the working amp is 7 and max is 15 amps. I have spotted a battery which is 15 amps. On doing some reading on another forum (sorry), it says that 15amps will not be much use. Is my controller insufficient? I am getting...

    Good point re charger. This Yose one looks similar with charger. Is this any good? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223671405199.

    Batavus Lento

    My Yose ebike kit arrived today. I have to now search for a good battery. I have found this from Battery Empire - Accumulator Battery Green Cell Down Tube 36V 11.6Ah 418Wh for Electric Bike E-Bike Pedelec. Would this be appropriate for my Batavus Lento and Yose kit? (Retrofit Kit 36V250W 28"...

    EBike carrier options

    Apologies if this is in the wrong thread. I am looking to take my two ebikes away and need to transport them in/on my car. I have looked at rear bike racks, but these have a weight limit, which I suspect my two heavy bikes would exceed. Roof bars are a no go - too heavy to lift. Tow bar is a...

    Batavus Lento

    I purchased a Yose Power kit, recommend on the forum. I will have another look at batteries. Thank you once again. This is a steep learning curve and I would certainly be lost without the advice from the forum.

    Batavus Lento

    Thanks for your advice. I was looking at the same supplier as I bought the kit from. No reason for size. I will look for another one. My biggest concern is that the battery will fit and work with the kit. I don't want to buy one and find out that it doesn't work with it.

    Batavus Lento

    Looking for a battery that will power the heavy Batavus plus be able to go up some hills. Range 40 miles. Am I asking for too much? Is there a reliable source/s to choose from?

    Could you also recommend a battery to go with the conversion kit? Appreciate all the advice.
