conversion

Hey guys, I've recently purchased myself a CYC X1 PRO gen 4 for my Boardman MTR 9, while I'm waiting for the thing to ship I need to find myself a decent battery, I've looked around a bit and I've realised that it's difficult to find high power shark batteries.... Essentially I need a "normal...

I would like a bafang rear hub with a 48v battery. Looks like the best way to get one is to buy motor and controller off Amazon, then buy a battery separately from somewhere like greenlance. Looking at it I should get a kit for around £500. Is that how most get a kit?

Hello. I'm planning my first e-bike conversion. The bike I am converting is a Cannondale Quick CX 3 2019. After a lot of research I think I've settled on the Tongsheng TSDZ2. These are the reasons: - Torque sensor. I know Bafang are more popular but I really don't want a drive that just pushes...

Hello everyone, I wanted to make my first electric bike. I decided to buy a conversion kit and go for 500w 36V engine. However, I am not sure if the battery I would like to buy (52V) will work with this motor. The motor I'd like to buy is this one (front): https://amzn.to/2INRNj3 And that's the...

Just brought a Voilamart 1000w 48v conversion kit alongside a Yosepower 1000w 48v battery. Installed everything fine and then powered it on. It came on so we turned the throttle and it worked but the LCD screen was really slow to register the speed and wattage and then when we killed the motor...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has advice or comments to help me realise my diy e-bike dream?! I basically want to get me, my mountain bike, my 20 month year old son and four bottles of Efes beer up a mountain in Turkey. My boyfriend is building a log cabin at the top of a mountain in...

Hello, Few months ago I asked for help with converting my bicycle to an ebike on this forum. After a bunch of discussion and research, I selected all components, purchased them, and installed the parts over the Christmas and New Year's break. Now I want to show and describe the conversion, in...

Hi, I have a beloved Puch Promenade (basically a Raleigh 20) that I have neglected for too long and want to convert to an e-bike at the same time as restoring it. I am looking for a bit of advice on kits (I want to do it myself rather than take to a shop but open to paying a bike shop/mechanic...

Hi everyone, I'm still pretty new to e-bikes, so I'm aware this may be a daft question - but here goes. I have a hybrid converted with a midrive Bafang BBS02. The battery and motor together add a good 10kg to the frame. I'm wondering if anyone has found adding loaded pannier racks to their E-...

Hi all! I have recently completed my own e-MTB conversion and I have both a rack battery and a downtube battery. This is necessary as I am a courier for a living and do 8-10 hour shifts, sometimes more. The regular switching between batteries is leading to quite a fast degradation in the...

Hi everyone, long-time-reader-first-time-poster. I can't find any examples of people using the Cute Q70 motor for a Brompton conversion - I'm amazed and confused! Am I missing something obvious? It seems to have been available a while and fits the front forks without having to spread them...

Hello guys, I was hopping that some of you could help me since i'm a total noob to the ebike world :) I currently have a 2007 GT chucker 1.0 like the pic below but with some modifications, i currently ride another backwheel and i reid single speed both front and back I really love this bike...

Hi all, I finally finished my conversion! After lots of shopping around and delay, I’ve finally built it. I do have one major issue though, which is what I’m here to ask about. When I use an assist setting greater than 3 or push the throttle any more than a tiny amount while below 25 km/h, the...

hi there, i live in Adelaide, Australia, and am currently visiting London, England. I've cycled a fair bit over the years and done some long distance touring in Australia; some of that on a Catrike Expedition. a couple of weeks ago i was holidaying in Croatia, which invloved, amongst other...

So I have been riding a Haibike hard tail with Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 500Wh battery for almost two years now. Not too impressed actually. Some quality issues and the spare parts are very expensive. Plus the fact that you are bound to Bosch and their stuff. I have had another bike...

We are thinking of converting our fairly basic tandem to electric. We won't be doing huge mileages, fast riding or big hills (Winchester area), but help on the smaller hills will be welcome. Combined rider weight around 155kg (24 1/2 stone). Ideally I want a front wheel conversion, as it is...
