  1. Hi could I buy a wider rim for this with the additional holes ?. Or do i have to drill holes in a standard rim. The site seems to be down atm. Thanks
  2. My frame is too narrow but maybe I could get a bike so I don't have to change the motor thanks
  3. Thanks for your help
  4. Hi I purchased an Oxydrive bike kit with a 700 25 wheel to go on my bike but i would like to buy a new bike with wider tyres. Does anyone know if I can use the existing motor and build a new wheel with a larger rim size ? Or do i have to buy a new wheel and motor already built ? Dylan
  5. Hi everyone It has a aluminium frame so was wondering if that could take the load ect. Regards DYlan I have a Ridgeback bike and wondered if i could add the OXYDrive CST HT 350W 36V 13Ah electric bike conversion kit to it ?
  6. Dill replied to a post in a topic in Conversion Kits General Discussion
    Thanks dude

    Dam offer is over :S
  8. I think I need the option to change the max speed as i dont want to pay out and find i wish i got a different kit or bike
  9. Not sure i like the look of this one ..its rather loud !!!
  10. If i have to buy all the parts seperate then I think i would struggle to find the parts that all matched ect or are there built systems or kits that are out there ?
  11. 2kw ? that seems to be a high amount of watts and what would the cost of this setup be do you know ? thanks
  12. Thanks this does look good ... is it a good bike as in frame and parts ect ? And what would be the top speed on this ? No hills around here so only flat roads ect
  13. Hi thanks... What would you recommend a rear drive hub or front or does it depends on the bike ?
  14. So you would recommend eZee Retro Fit Conversion Kit from £795 rather than ebay equivalent for around £400 ?
  15. OK will have a look at those now thanks. And yes my work is around 3 miles away but I can imagine using the bike for fun on longer journeys.
  16. Hi Benjahmin Thanks for your info I will have a look now Ok so thats another thing i haveto consider Direct Drive or Geared And no hils about i will be better with DD
  17. Thanks Yamdude I just want the option to break the law lol THere is not enough reviews out there on good frames and kits so if anyone on here could give me an example of a good kit and bike set up I would be grateful Spec being 250 500w motor good batteries hybrid bike style hub drive rear or front not sure
  18. Hi everyone Im looking to buy a bike and an electric motor kit but Im not sure which one to buy. Im 6ft 2 and 14stone and have been looking at so many I cant make my mind up. The bike is easy I will just get a well known hybrid make and add the kit. But the kit seems to be the cheapest on ebay but many dont have the make of them which worries me. I think i have narrowed it down to 500w brush less rear motor with 36 volts with speeds up to 30mph (Off road) 15mph on road. It looks like if you use a 1000w motor you drain the battery faster so dont get the distance like the 500w and 250w seems rather low power. I think the hub motor would be best and rear power seems to make sense. My journey would be 6 miles a day. Are the Golden motors or E bike or BMC ? Most are from China but some of them must be ok ? My max budget is £1000 for electric motor kit and bike. What I dont want is a cheap bike or kit that does not last. Any advice would be much appreciated Dylan #1Dill, 27 minutes ago Edit Report Reply JohnCadePedelecer Joined: May 16, 2014 Messages: 1,368 Likes Received: 629 Look at some of the threads here about conversions, and also the crank drives as well as hub. You can buy them from trade members here and will get proper after sale service if there are problems. Not always the case with eBay sellers. The 250W is a nominal figure and most motors will peak at much more and some at over three times that. Which is plenty of power for most people and will get up almost any hill with a bit of pedalling. Particularly if your journey is only 6 miles a day. The off road stuff which eBay sellers sometimes mislead buyers with is nonsense. All those 500W and 1000W kits are illegal on or off road unless you have a private estate. Thanks John I thought the crank drives were noisy ? Im trying to be getting about it stealth mode so want to keep the noise down as much as possible. Would a 250w get a speed of up to 30mph ? 15mph seems rather slow and I assume that the top speed they suggest is always lower ?
  19. Im uk and its as flat as a pancake here in Portsmouth. I would rather buy a bike and kit all in one for ease but most bikes seem to be unknown
