I have thought about that and my DIY skills are actually pretty good. Regarding battery/bike/ec etc do you know any reputable websites that sell good stuff? Or do any of the Haibikes/KTMs fit the spec I'm looking for? Cheers

Thank you for all the information Martin. Probably not the bike I'm looking for then as 15mph is a little too slow. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks

Sure, makes sense. Is it possible to disable it so it goes 30mph white just using the throttle though (for when on private land, of course)? Thanks again

Martin, am I right in saying it is pedal assist rather than twist and go throttle?

Hi, I've been interested in the 'Riide' bike (http://riide.com) that was on Kickstarter although they aren't shipping to the UK unfortunately. It pretty much has all the specifications I like: - Twist and go throttle (no actual pedalling needed) - Fairly light weight - have to carry it up stairs - Looks like a bike (no police issues - used to have one of those electric bike moped looking things and would get pulled over at least every other day in central London) - Steal proof (sounds silly but a home built one with a battery strapped to the frame temps people to look into the battery bag etc) - 20mph speed - although 30mph option would be better with a nice amount of torque If there is any other specs I will post. I tried some of the Grace bikes although they need pedalling and I really didn't like the Nu Vinchi thing. I also tried the 'The Electric Transport Shop' BOSS Super system http://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/shop/conversions/boss-super-system/prod_805.html It is brilliant but again there is a battery bag etc and it is expensive for what it is and the way it is put together (not really a professional all in one bike, more slap dash - no offence). So basically is there anything out there similar to what I've described? I've searched for ages on the internet now but am struggling to find anything. If anyone could help me I would really really greatly appreciate it. I've trawled through many pedelec posts in the past and thought it about time to join up! Thanks in advance
