    And how much would that cost out of interest? I'm paying £35 x 12 months for the full kit above. Only paid the first month so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I am using it in pedal assist mode. I do not use the thumb throttle. As I also keep stating, I have purchased a 1000w kit and therefore I firmly believe that the one year warranty should apply to a reasonable battery condition after one year of use in the unrestricted condition that I have...

    The 1.5C calculation guideline is helpful. It feels like I should have been sold a higher capacity battery for my 1000w kit, e.g. 16Ah battery This is the warranty information, perhaps I should consider paying £100 to extend it to 2 years…it includes range drop to under 6 miles...

    Yes, a few of my friends have suggested it's in the area of a motorbike! Attached is a picture of my other 'powered two wheeler'. This one certainly is a motorbike however a bit more restricted in where I can actually ride it [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi there, thanks that explanation is helpful. In fact I am generally using PAS3 and only PAS4 when the road is very flat and smooth. Also by significantly changing the gearing, I am now adding a good amount of effort myself through pedalling . My comments above where when I was simply testing...

    I'm afraid I completely disagree. I must admit I am somewhat disappointed with the use of the word robbing! I have purchased 1000 W unrestricted kit from Cyclotricity, for which I paid a significant premium over the restricted kit. At no point in any of the literature or material was it stated...

    This is the battery that I have, except mine is 48 V and 12 Ah . But it looks exactly like this one that you posted above...

    It was sold as a warranted complete kit by a reputable manufacturer and still covered by warranty with them. My expectation is for a high quality set of components. I will pick it up with Cyclotricity. It's possible that my reports are misrepresentative. I have travelled over 20 miles on one...

    About time for a quick follow up.....The bike is brilliant! My rear wheel alignment is all corrected, and I have gone from a 22/44 front gearing to 26/48 and the new gearing is spot on for pedaling and cruising at 22mph. I commuted to work in 25 minutes which would have taken me 45mins...

    No longer have a car, new to Ebikes...

    Another option is to buy a half decent used bike like this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322467488578 I had a similar older version which I bought new in the sale for £500 (vs Rrp £800). Used it occasionally for a few years at stag dos in Wales, then hardly touched it. I bought a 1000W...

    I see. OK, and as for mounting the pannier bags? Would need an extra tube each side for clipping to? I don't wish to come across as reluctant, but the conversion took me a lot more time and effort than expected (which is tricky for me with demanding young kids and missus counting my time in the...

    Ok back flips not ideal. I'll find a solution. My commute which is my almost exclusive use is along an old railway cycle path next to a river so basically flat, but it would be better to bring the mass closer to the centre of gravity I could build custom rack but A) battery slides in and out...

    The only way I can get it for further forward is by having it very tilted, which will have the bag at an angle too. As With much of the kit it seemed not particularly compatible with my bikes design and geometry. I even had a headache with the controls as my handle bars get Fatter in the middle...

    Okay, I have some progress to report! I have completed the first shakedown runs initially on 250 W and then on the full 1000 W. What can I say I had a huge smile on my face, really enjoyable. Everything seems to be firmly mounted, the wiring is all fairly tidy, and the torque arms were a bit...

    I managed to get the pads out and push the pistons right back (I believe), I followed the Avid Juicy 3 manual to recentre the pads. (Pump and hold lever with caliper side bolts loosened then tighten down whilst holding the lever. And repeated several times. I checked and the disc is not...

    Thanks d8veh, the tool arrived today and it was just the job! I've now got the wheel mounted and it freewheels, I have sorted out the spacers and after lots of trial and error, the torque arm is also fitted on one side (I will copy to the other side) Next problem, at one point I operated the...
