According to the General Manager at Bewo they make a 36v 250w. 36volt 350 watt and a 48V 350W all with different controllers.

This one has been designed for 48V. I believe some designed for 36volt are sometimes used by individuals at higher voltages.

It's a standard 68mm bottom bracket, certainly no filing required by me and I only ever ran it at 48V.

Good you brought that up,I went for the 44T chain ring ,plenty fast and better for hills.

Bewo I believe is meant to be a bit like an 8fun crank drive with the controller outwith the motor which I think is good, especially if you have a spare.Much easier for repair if required. It also has metal planetary gears as opposed to plastic I am informed and according to a Greek chap elsewhere on the forum they are the bees knees!

Hello all, I have for sale a Bewo 350W 48V mid drive for sale. It has done somewhere between 300 and 700 miles - I wish I had checked before disconnecting,either way not very much,I think nearer the 300. Apart from the whole kit I made a point of purchasing a spare a) Controller b)LCD Display c)Waterproof Main Cable All unused The last kit I noticed on ebay was £355 obviously without the extras. Must be worth £250 at least! Offers Derek

You are obviously very concerned about this and it it is very easy for those not involved to say that you are getting over excited about it. I noticed many pages back that you said that you had passed a line of taxi's, having a witness when the other side does not could be hugely beneficial. As you pass this taxi rank going to work each day I would suggest that you have a quick word with them to find out if any of them had seen the incident.

So at 5 times the average for German bikes sales for small shop outlets, their claim seems very high

So about 10 each on average?

It does seem a lot for that standard of electric bike

The size stated for your inverter is the max that it can cope with therefore if for instance you were charging a 36 volt battery at a chargers full capacity of 4 amps that would mean that itwas putting roughly 40 volts x 4 amps into the battery which equals 160 watts. To supp ly that you would need 160 divided by 12 volts,say 15amps to allow for losses. Therefore thesupply has to be capable of feeding the size of the load plus some losses not the size of the max that the inverter is capable of supplying.
