yeah ive set max speed and acceleration to max. its fab. For a guy who grew up in the fens I just cant cope with the mountains up here.Now I don't need to. Worth every penny.

Hi there. Just thought id update this thread.Thanks to all. My oxydrive kit arrived and ive fitted it to my old battered bike as the new one i ordered still hasnt arrived and i couldnt wait. Rode it for the first time this morning and couldnt stop smiling all the way to work. Very smooth. Easy to fit. Easy to use and more than fast enough to get me up those welsh mountains. I really didnt think 250 watts would be enough but this kit is awesome. Granted ive got nothing to compare it with as its the only ebike ive ridden but it does not disapoint. Well done OXY drive.. 1 very happy customer!

youtube mostly. inexperienced riders snapping chains and wearing out drive trains. I would be one of those me thinks........ I might try a mid drive on my off roader . maybe go for a 500watt. but for now with finances i hope ive made the right choice.

13ah rear hub oxydrive kit on 26" wheel ( they dont offer 27.5 kits). Im putting it on a new claud butler as my old bike was a claud and has done me proud. It seems all the newer bikes like the carrera 's are 27.5 wheels. So i figure i'd stick with what I know and I can strip the old bike for any spares I need.

hi all. I'd just like to finish this tread by saying thanks to all who advised me. I ended up going for a new claud butler and bought the OXYdrive coversion kit as it dropped by £200. Reading the reviews I'm sure its gonna do all I need whilst staying legal. 've placed the order so no going back now.! I went off crank drives when I heard about snapping of chains etc which I can really do without on the way to work. I'll post a review of things once Ive fitted and trailed it for a few weeks. Thanks again to all.

ok, thanks all. Now im looking back at the kits as its been pointed out the frame for an oxygen mtb will be too small for a 6'4" fella. Thanks RobF. So Im looking at oxydrive kits but Im not sure how the brake levers would work with most modern bikes. The rest looks pretty simple. ( I am quite handy, honest). More advice would be great. Sorry folks and thanks so far. Wayne

thanks all. Any clues on delivery time scales from BMS/china. Ive heard people waiting over a month. I'd sooner find a uk dealer with stock in house ready to go then wait and save a little money.

thanks again. Im buying at the end of the month so I might try and beg borrow. Ive got time to think about it. Cheers :-)

Thanks for that but looking at the systems they work with those bikes are well out of my price range. Or do they work for banfang etc?

Thanks Rob F looks nice but ive got a budget of £1000 max. Thats pushing it. If I could stretch to that I would consider it. Thanks though. I figure £600-£700 for kit and £300 ish for the bike.

Thanks for that. I suppose there's no chance of me messing up my chain and gears either. Cheers. Think I'm going for the hub.

Thanks for that. I think id go for the 36v 25 a then. How many ah would the battery need to be please? 36v 15ah enough? Thanks trex

Thanks you've just given me even more choices. What to do....

Thanks for the reply. I dont think I've ever struggled to make a decision in all my life. Mid crank vs hub, legal or not which battery from where and who has what in stock....For me this is a lot of money to spend so I need to get it right. I just keep going back and fore. d8veh has suggested the q128 which i'd not heard of and now that looks like the way to go but i like the idea of using the bikes gears to keep the motor in ideal rpm. back and fore........

Thanks, do you think 250w is enough for 10% hills and more? I'd like to stay legal but if it wont do want I need it too theres just no point.? ta :-)
