hi d8veh i assumed if i order the kit they will send what I need for the kit i did order the speed sensor. i will check what controller and pay difference. will order spoke key. bit confused about cassette over freewheel i can prob put a 53 tooth ring on but is the problem the 14 smallest...

alex d8veh sorry didnt make it clear i ordered 48v 328rpm rear bpm kit with freewheel lcd disp. hwbs and torque arms. extra thumb throttle. not sure if it has hall sensors or if i need them should i order them with the extra connectors as recommended??? the battery is their li- ion...

Hi all, I have just bought a 500w bafang with a 48v 15ah high C rate li-on battery, my journey is 15 miles each way and i can charge at work, there are a few big hills each way but i will be pedaling with the motor. Having no experience of any of this I would just like to know if...

of course you are right, 25% for duty and Vat. thanks for all your info. perhaps a uk kit might be a better bet, many thanks.

D8veh Thanks, great advice, will get torque arms and inline brake sensors. presumably i only need the lcd and speed sensor if i want a speedo otherwise the led throttle would suffice or is the lcd very good? Also most of what i have read recommends to leave off the pedal sensor, do i need...

Hi thanks for the info, the wheel is complete and yes i'm confident i can assemble it as long as i have the right bits. I reckoned on 10% for customs as thats what other members have advised previously, 25% would definitly put me off as that is very steep are you sure thats right??? many thanks

Hi D8veh, on your advice i'm going for the cst500W rear 270 rpm keeping my 9 speed cassette with the following S12S 500Watts Torque Simulation Sine Wave Controller for 36Volts 36V15Ah Li-Ion NiCoMn aluminium alloy sheel electric bicycle battery pack + rack (15 miles each way) Brake...

Hi All, I've gone from wanting a super duper 3000W motor that can take me 15 miles of commuting in 30 minutes to considering a 250W or 500W motor with a big enough battery to get me there and possibly back but i can charge at work no problem. At first i was amazed at the claims of 45, 50...

At first i was amazed at the claims of 45 +km / hour twin 1000W motors 3000W motors, I have a motorcycle but find taxing/mot / service/ petrol/ insurance for the little i use it becoming more of a hassle. I love cycling and used to do the journey regularly but age, kids, weather and HILLS have...

thanks for that, all very helpful, So presumably the 250W Q100 is not limited to the uk 15.5.mph, just put a higher spec battery on and it will go faster??? have i got that right? thanks

Hi old bob, old mal here. when you say give it it's neck it will do 25mph, what do you mean exactly, as I was thinking of getting a much heavier more powerful motor to do that sort of speed. say 500w or 1000W. Also if i get a 250 watt motor and up the battery and controller does that mean...

hi, thanks for all the info. What sort of speed do you get from the 250W Q100 and what range, Also how heavy are you and lastly should i worry about being waterproof, there is one seller on ebay who specifically lists waterproof kits 250W up to 1500Watt alongside non waterproof. many thanks.

ok thanks for that, I was considering a 48V 20ah battery but maybe i would be better off going for a 500Watt motor with 36V 20AH battery would give a better even performance perhaps. What speed would i get from a 500W and would that be more suited to a front wheel drive?? What is the C-...

Hi, what is the benefit of the rear motor, is it more stable?? i would have to change gearing, and more time and problems if i get a puncture. If i pedal with the motor i will have 2 wheel drive, I can see the benefit of air shocks and will look at that, what is a liMnNico battery and...

hi d8veh Im 14 stone and want to go steady 20 to 25mph I took the shocks off my bike years ago and put steel mtb forks on so no probs there the journey is 15 miles each way with 1 big steep hill each way poss 2 depending on my route. i will be pedalling to assist battery but just dont want to...

hi 103alex1 thanks for info. i can charge at work no probs. if i could keep up 23mph i'm happy to work a bit with the motor i have 2 very steep hills so thought i needed as much amps as poss. the 1000 watt motor appeals to the grin factor when conditions allow. my main concern is buying from...

hi thanks for the info. out of interest what was the duty % they charged you for importing the kit. also the offroad is smooth so will be like on road in terms of kit mountings.

hello all. totally new to all this electric stuff. i am a keen cyclist but at 51 i struggle to do a 15 mile each way commute and work all day in between. i also have a steep hill to get up each way i went to my local e bike shop and had a look but nothing was very appealing under 2 grand...
