Thanks for all the useful info guys. Theres a lot of conflicting viewpoints which makes it quite difficult for me to decide especially considering I’m not too savvy in this department. it would be great to come to a conclusion to find something that’s quite bare bones, affordable, and easy to deal with. I don’t have too much free time to do a lot of independent research which is why I’ve come here! Anyone new reading this please read my first couple of messages where I list other requirements/expectations I have. Thanks for all your help ✌️

yeah difficult to come to a conclusion from my side, a conversion kit that is 36v, is pedal powered (unrestricted with the capability to go above 15.5mph would be nice but I guess not required). The main thing is that if it is in line with my £350 budget. I’m really not looking for anything too advanced but just the best value for the price really! Also to mention I wouldn’t need more then like 7 miles range

This looks really good - I beleive this is a throttle one? To be honest I think I’d prefer a pedal powered bike as it’s what I’m more used to and don’t see the advantage of having a throttle as long as breaks are strong enough. thanks so much for the help!

That’s very helpful so to my understanding, running a 36v at essential max battery has the potential to make 42v which will equal 20mph. The 20mph isn’t a fixed requirement for me, but would be a nice option, the mid drive kit doesn’t seem to suited to London, so a 36v battery makes the most sense. what is the typical price of this would you say? And do you have any recommendations on where to get one that is unrestricted - that has the potential to reach 20mph? What other bits will I need when converting, and I’m not so knowledgeable on bikes as I said before happy to learn how to convert myself but is it difficult or pretty straightforward?

Thanks for the info, I should mention that my budget is £350 - is this way to unrealistic? I’m willing to sacrifice things like mileage as realistic I won’t need more then 10 miles coverage , Also it would be sooo helpful if someone could make a list that clearly lets me know each component I need and the purpose it fulfils (of it isn’t obvious) thanks again guys

thanks both! So it would just be for everyday commuting I’ll list some of the criteria I’d ideally want the bike to fit into (please let me know if anything I say in unrealistic/not worth the price) - my weight is 76kg - It would be for daily commuting, max distance of an hour. So a battery life of about an hour would be great (not sure what the average battery life is?) - Id like to go 20mph as a top speed - I live in London and it’s mostly flat - some hills here and there. (Not sure what normally happens if an e-bike that isn’t purpose built for hills was to go up one?) - in terms of pedalling, not sure the best way to measure how hard I pedal. But I use gears 3 and 6 so maybe a little bit less than that. - and I’m not too handy with bikes but willing to learn where I need to!

Hello forum peoples , So I’m not too knowledgeable on bikes but really want to convert my bike (attached) into an E-bike. Not sure the best way to go about this - advice on where to start, what to look out out for, recommendations on where to get a battery/conversion kit/whatever is best would be very welcome.
