After considering your advice, I bought a bafang crank drive motor with a bottle attachment battery from Eclipsebikes. These I mounted to a Scott Accent hard tail bike and the result is wonderful. Over 100 miles in 4 days up big hills and down dales. Love it. Thanks

Just tried it like that a couple of times and it worked a treat, no sparks. Thanks again

Excellent, I'll give that a try. Cheers for the advice....

Good idea, I think I'll try and come up with a similar mod. Looks like you have the same setup as me right down to the battery, may I ask a quick question, does the battery sometimes spark when you plug the charger in? Mine has started to do that (it's always off at the wall socket when I plug in) or is there a problem? Thanks in advance

Hi Bob The weathers wet and windy but that's about normal. Haha

Hi. Try NE19

Thank you very much for your informative reply Trex I appreciate your help, and cheers to Kinninvie for the input

Thanks for the help. Yes it's a long gradient and I'm about 15stone. Would an 8fun crank drive do it. I don't know what a BPM motor is. Sorry for the ignorance

Hi Trex what make is the easy to fit in the photo you talk of, and would it be good at climbing? I have a 17% hill to climb outside my house. If not any suggestions?
