A super shark on the mountain bike would "probably" fit!

Mountain bike at £310 https://www.aldi.co.uk/barracuda-mountain-bike/p/712676463386000 folding bike at £260 https://www.aldi.co.uk/classic-folding-bike/p/711370449334000 They will sell quickly but a new bike with a bafang or a tongsheng for ~£800 sounds good!

yeay! I'm glad it worked out

go for it, I think it'll work and certainly better, well, easier, than rivnuts.

I put the battery in the highest position I could just using the top bottle mount in the lowest hole on the battery base. The first two photos are with the battery in the base. The last photo is it out of the base showing the kind of minimum clearance required. Given that when you slide it forward 18mm you can kind of the lift up from the back so that you just need the spare 10mm at the front I *think* you'll be fine. £300 is a lot to rely on a random on t'internet though! The base seems a lot sturdier than hailing bases though.

Love the cardboard! My frame is a slightly more of a 'traditional' shape - but I'll mount it later / tomorrow to try and replicate the 18mm gaps you have and see how I get on.

hmm, I'm not sure that's enough. Eclipse might know better. Or if you are near Twickenham, cycle round and try mine!

It just arrived in the post this morning So not fitted it yet. Looking at it though I'd say add 2 mm for the rubber washer / mount things. So an extra 10mm on top of the 96mm. I just tried unlocking it and I'd say the 18mm and 8mm clearance sounds fair. When I ordered it I hadn't realised it appears to come with an android app where you can monitor individual cell performance/condition which is a bonus. That said, it's only been out of the box for a quick look so can't comment on long term use. Edit - had a bit more of a play. I would say it's an either 18mm or 8mm. In that it you only have 8mm above you will need about 6 cm of "sliding space"; and if you only have 18mm of "sliding space" you will need about 25mm above. That's being really conservative and assuming you don't rotate the battery out and can only move the battery along it's base and perpendicular to it's base. Hard to explain in text!

are the super shark em3ev batteries from eclipse any good? Bit of flexibility on mount positioning. Nice battery too.
