How about that coffee? Can't find how to private message on here so here's my email velofilibus@gmail.com Pete

How you getting on danielt ? Any update on the kit?

I'm also in Brighton, would love to see the kit when it's up and running! If you have time give me a shout and i'll get the coffee's in! :-)

Update!! Having tried and tried to contact Greenbike through there contact page about a rear rack for battery and not having any success, I have decided to just give it a miss. It's just been a waste of time.

When you say 36V 25A do you mean 250W motor? Sorry if i'm being a bit thick!

So it will be the 36v15ah 20A/40A battery with rear rack to fit this battery. Thanks again trex I really appreciate your help and advice and now feel confident enough to go ahead and order. PS what size motor do you have 250W / 350W or more powerful?

Hi Trex, Thanks for your reply and glad you think its a good kit. I thought about making a box to go on my rear rack but maybe i should just buy a battery rack like in your picture. Perhaps maybe this battery combination? http://www.greenbikekit.com/headway-36v-38120-rack-battery.html Or do you...

Hi all, another 8fun query i'm afraid. I have been very confused and a bit nervous about buying the right bit of kit for my cargo bike but am now going to bite the bullet! I would be very grateful for just one piece of advice. Knowing that there are many knowledgeable people on here i'm sure i...

2050! Makes me a little sad, not sure if i will still be around by then!

Hi, I am also after buying the 8fun crank drive. I want to buy a complete kit including battery but don't know where to get one. Can someone point me in the right direction?. Many thanks Pete

The 8fun crank drive sounds great. I have been thinking about fitting one to my cargo bike for a while. Where did you buy the kit? I know Whoosh bikes sell the crank but with no battery. Because i'm not much of a mechanic i would feel much more confident buying a complete kit.

I would still need to weld some mounts on the front forks as the front is a coaster brake. I think I shall just convert front and rear brakes to V-brakes and then decide what system to go for, or does anyone know of a system that works with back pedal brakes but doesn't cost a fortune?

Thanks for your reply d8veh, i think it might be easier to get a frame builder weld some V-brake mounts on the frame get a new hub for the back wheel and take it from there. Maybe then i might go for this one EK20F36R | 8Fun 20 inch Wheel New Electric Bike Conversion Kit | LED Dashboard,Li-ion...

Hi, I am fairly new to the forum and to electric bikes so please go easy on me. I have just fitted the 8Fun hub motor to my mountain bike and am very happy with it. I am now thinking of fitting the 8Fun crank drive to my cargo bike. My question is will it work with a back pedal hub brake?

Thanks for both of your replys. I am going to drive to Kingston upon Thames tomorrow and have a look at the Kalkhoff bikes. Just a shame there's not any dealers in Sussex and as for here in Brighton where I live, well e-bikes haven't been invented yet.

Anyone know where in Sussex I can find a dealer selling these brands and are open at weekends? Kind Regards

This does seem to be the general consensus on what I want to achieve with electric power. Maybe i just expect to much and am to unrealistic about what electric can do and just be content with riding on the flat and small hills and pushing when i have to. Any hill I need to climb is only going to...

Not tried one yet, I know they have one on a cargo bike at The Electric Transport Shop, think i will make a appointment and give it a try out! Found this video of one on a velomobile ( think thats what there called ? ) Looks good! Very flat terrain and fantastic cycle paths though ! MUV4...

Joking apart I am drawn back to my original plan of using the Sunstar ibike S03 system. I just think it would allow me to ride my bike at more controllable speeds but give me the push I need to tackle the steep hills, and I'm not sure if I want a throttle on my bike as I still want it to feel...

Might not be a bad idea! :D
