So, after a while (Bad menieres flare up) im feeling better so ready to buy, which i have decided to be a 36v 250w BBS01B, from eclipse. £379.99 including DPC18 but will need to buy the gear sensor and brake sensors seper\ately, what i cant find is a battery to fit my Slime Green Orange above!

Thanks for your input! Yeah just something fairly simple and as you say nothing mental power wise. She would only use the electric side purely for accessing the ‘green way’ near us. A purpose built cycling/walking road using an old railway line. It’s lovely and flat once your on, just accessing...

Couldnt agree more! My mother in law is 72, and she does actually own a bike, around 2 years old 'vintage' style rebrand type thing** with 26 inch wheels, she just struggles with it, will have a scout for a second hand kit that may be lurking around, had a look through Classifieds here but...

Hi guys, just to let you know we didnt go for it after what Neal advised :)

Thanks Neal, Would a rear wheel hub require torque arms too? rated at 250w?

Thank you for your very detailed reply! I am thinking of going down the route of hub purely for reliability! As others have said on the thread also. I would if there is any downfall to the front hub instead of the rear? didn't consider a front one until you just mentioned it....... Regarding...

What are the advantages of mid drive compared to hub, Neal? That looks like a cool kit, not seen that on my searches.

Hello, I already own a couple of folding eebs which i purchased recently. They are great fun and thanks to the awesome advice of Nealh now fully working and running like a dream! We have a self built campervan so the folding bikes are perfect for that especially. I was a full time cyclist up...

Would you share your amazon kit so i can have a nosey please?

Update: thanks to the great advice from Nealh, the bike is done and works amazingly! Very impressed by it! Thank you again for all your help!
