    Can you be a bit more specific? i.e. >750W, >48V, >16ah <29kg. Also, if I derestrict the Moscow, does that mean the Watt improves, or does it just remove the max speed? Thanks.

    This was the bike I tried which flew up the hill in question. The guy said it was 750W. It went about 20mph (with me cycling also) up the hill which is what I want. What are the specific stats I am looking for in the bike? When people say a certain bike won't suit what I need, I don't actually...

    :D am I after a unicorn? I'm after a bike that will go up a smoothish pathed hill quickish for about 2 miles. If the moscow plus can do that after being derestricted, then I'm done. If not then it would be a waste of money. The right bike would be life changing for me because I would get so much...

    Okay, so I've googled what all the acronyms etc mean... :confused:, and it seems you are advocating getting a rear wheel drive rather than a mid-drive motor..? I've found some local custom ebike build shops so I'm going to email them to ask if they can build me a bike to those specs. "ebike...

    What do you suggest? I would go with the NCM Moscow because I can derestrict, but it is out of stock. I need a bike that matches my criteria and is in stock. If you have a recommendation, then please say.

    Ah, thanks. This is a rabbit hole I'm dying in!! I did have a go on a mid-drive bafang 750W and it flew up the 'hill in question'. Too much if anything.

    I'm not really after the opinion of a trades men. That's why I'm on a community forum. (I am on a community forum aren't I...?). Also as I mentioned, half your bikes aren't in stock. What I'm after is an unbiased, experienced person to just send me a link for a good deal which would suit my...

    What specs should I be looking for in a bike/battery which means it would give good power if derestricted? (Nothing crazy, just enough to go more than jogging pace up a hill). And how do I know if a bike can be derestricted and it is okay to do so (it won't fall apart from the increased forces...
