Morning all. Thought I'd say hello.

Currently riding a Cyclotricity conversion Trek FX7.5 with 700c wheels. Fitted a 38c tyre to take the bumps a bit better. Can do the 18 miles round trip to work on about 1/2 the10Ah battery capacity and that's not bad I thought given the headwinds recently and it's a pretty hilly run.
Max-ing out on the flat with a tailwind at 17mph no pedalling so not too shabby, just tuck in down on those bars :)

Thumb throttle does my head in after a while, struggled to get it to miss the shifters and not mess with the brake lever angle. Also the V brakes at the back are pulling slightly by the pannier support but minor issues really. Need cruise I think.

Bought a Nano for my Brompton but just can't face riding that the 18 miles over pretty shoddy pavements and a dirt track so it's up on the ebay. Might try again with the Brompton but really want a 400rpm motor with 48v and some 100mm custom forks to drag it along.
