I'm not racing around at silly speeds but I like the dongle because it stops the power cutting out, keeps things nice and smooth.

Funny you should say that, it came with a dongle fitted :-)

Wow, some one is tired with a big old axe to grind !!!!! A lot of hub drives I have tested felt like you were being pushed, or pulled. My point was with the mid drive it feels much more natural, like a real bike. Three more effort I put in the more i get out. But we both know you realised that.

Thank you for a very honest reply. I did buy it in the end and am absolutely loving it, battery life is fine and it flies along. I use it every day. The brakes were a bit 'soft' so I changed the disks and pads and all good now. I have noticed I need to be careful of braking distances being...

True, but not so bad.

Wow, battery prices are horrendous !!!!! This will really affect my decision.

Thanks for all the replies and links. I've arranged to borrow it for the day and see how it goes. He says the battery has been stored in doors. I'll be honest, I've wanted one for ages, so if this looks good I'm really keen to join in the fun you all seem to have.

Hi all I'm after some advice if I may. A friend has offered me a haibike sduro hardseven SL 27.5 Yamaha 2016 for £1k. He bought it new and hardly used it, only done 350 miles. My first question is if the battery has not been used much will it still be ok. I know if he had put lots of miles on...

Thanks for the replies. I was 50/50 on Bafang or Tongsheng. Bafang has more power and is better established but I like the idea of the torque sensor on Tongsheng making it feel more natural. I still want to pedal, use it for fitness as well as transport.

Sorry to hear that, sounds nasty. As I recently said, I'm not looking to go over 15mph. My initial thought was more torque etc for hills and pulling away. Which now leaves me a choice to make :)

Thanks. ps I'd not ask you to break any forum rules but I'm definitely very interested.

LOL @ " Adds a bit of financial excitement to every order! " I know what you mean about 15mph, I test rode a bike and could kept it over 15 mph for a while once I was assisted up to that speed. I loved how as I tired the assistance kicked back in. How much might you want for your motor ? I did...

It is German stock so they stated no extra duties. I've decided now to go with a 250w motor and 36v battery with as big A/Hr rating as I can afford.

My thinking was not to go faster than the legal speed limit, just have more torque for hills etc. But now I'm thinking just stick to 250w. So if it is 250w motor will I need a 48v battery or just stick to the normal 36v?

Thanks for the replies and I take on board your comments. So in real terms, how much difference would i feel in performance if I used a 250w motor instead of 750w?

Hi all After various holdups before halting my leap into ebikes I have now decided to get a Tongsheng 48v 750w from PSWPower. (I can't believe it is only £225) I know this is over the limit but I'm a 'big' man and thought the extra power will be useful, I don't plan going crazy with it. My...

Hi, thanks for the detailed reply, and ouch, hope it is all healed up now.

Glad to be of assistance, they do variety of sizes etc. One thing i hate is lots of wires on show cable tied together, hence looking at a box like this.

Hey, thanks for replying. Aha, so you ordered via Amazon and not direct, guess it gives you more protection that way. I was toying with the idea of ordering one of these small controller boxes to hide any excessive cables, or, as you said, cut them down and solder on new ends...

Hi there, first of all great build, it looks fantastic, I'm very impressed. Due to circumstances i'm now going to do a conversion and not an off the shelf buy and you have chosen the same spec I'm looking at. motor and battery, and even the same supplier. I have a few questions if you don't...
