Is there any interest in this at all, is the price too high maybe? I would be willing to take offers, but I'm obviously not going to let it go for silly money.

Hi all, After a little over a year and only 138 miles, I've decided to sell my BH E Motion. I bought it from Onbike with the intention of cycling the 48 mile round trip commute, unfortunately the journey time was just a little too much and I've done the commute twice only. During that time...

Many thanks for all the replies guys, I'm hoping to try the Cytronex & the E-motion Sport Max tomorrow. A fair bit of driving if I do try both, but I've not yet ridden a crank drive bike and want to try this before making a decision. The only thing putting me off the Cytronex at the moment...

I do also have the option of putting the bike in the car, driving to the nearest park and ride and then cycling the rest of the way. That should bring it down to around 12 miles each way. I was going to do that first and then after a few weeks try the full distance. I think I now know what...

To be honest I wasn't aware it would be that much different to the hub powered bikes, I guess part of the reason I posted about it on here. I like the idea and I think I'm still going to drive the 120 miles to try one, but I'm now thinking it might be a bit much doing 44miles daily on the bike...

Many thanks for you input, I guess it's a bit of a grey area with bikes like the A2B. I'm definitely going to try and stick to something fairly sensible, but I would like the option of a go faster button like the A2B has. Cheers, Jay Edit: Ah, I should have read your newer post before posting...

I'm not seriously considering the 1000w system, I think it was just the petrol head in me thinking it would be a lot of fun. Having sat and seriously considered it, I don't need the extra weight and blatant illegality of something like that. I don't doubt that it would be a lot of fun though...

Hi Jerry, I see you're from Cambridge - hello! That's where I am, well in Papworth now but I grew up in Waterbeach and Fen Ditton. I've just finished reading your bike build post, a great read - definitely glad I read it before purchasing anything. I've already measured the forks, but...

Lol! Is it something that's actively policed? Would it be legal to have something whereby you can switch it to off-road mode? I've tried an Ultra Motor A2B, I like the idea of the turbo button. How is this bike legal if it can do 20mph?

Those kits looks very good value for money, thanks for the link! I like the idea of the 1000w motor, but a little worried about the legalities. What are the penalties for using a bike with one of these kits fitted? To be honest, I very much doubt I'd be comfortable travelling to work anywhere...

Many thanks for the reply, having read several posts about conversion kits this one has come up multiple times, and seems well regarded. I did a few searches for them and struggled to find a complete kit for sale in the UK. Looks like it would do what I want it to and it's cheaper than a lot...

Thanks for the replies, I might drop E Tim a PM to see what he thinks. I would definitely be interested in the Daa hub, but would rather be up and running in the next couple of weeks. I've also had a bit of a chat with Banbury Frank, I've yet to come across the Nine Continent motor and...

Hi guys, I'm slowly narrowing my search down for the perfect ebike, I'm just wondering if anyone has purchased a bike from Cytronex? I've had a long chat on the phone with them and they were very helpful, hoping to go for a test ride on one at the weekend - a long drive though. I also...

I just wanted to say thanks guys for creating this post, a lot my initial questions have been answered. I'm still unsure which kit to go for but I have much more of an idea as to what I want and what to look for now. Daahub looks very interesting! Jay

Well I'm glad it's been allowed on here (although I only joined this site today!) as it could be just what I'm looking for. I really like the look of the Whyte bikes as well, was thinking I might do the conversion on my Trek FX7.5 but would prefer something with at least front suspension. Is...

Great build review, well done! I'm currently considering doing the same to my Trek FX7.5, but am struggling to decide on a conversion kit an whether or not to change the bike and do it on a mountain bike with suspension. I tested (and hired!) an Ultra Motor A2B today and love it, just...

Moved from the introduction page... Hi guys & girls, I'm Jay, 35 years old and live in Papworth Everard which is just west of Cambridge. I'm very new to electric bikes, I've started to research it in the hope that I can cycle my 45 mile round trip commute a couple of times a week when...
