Was looking at the crank mounted kit you linked to above. Doesn't that cause problems with gears and chains? Accelerated wear, skipping teeth, broken chains, ect.. ?

Ok, it turns out after de-restriction this thing is an absolute animal. The long off-road hill section which it was struggling with on Monday was no problem today. The hill is at least a mile long and very draining unassisted on a normal pushbike. This is exactly why I bought the kit and it...

Naa, the motor is 2 or 3 pin. I looked into the connector when I was fitting it but I forget now. It senses speed so I'm inclined to say it is 3-pin rather than 2.

Ok, many of these replies came 'after' I bought the kit so it isn't the case that I wasn't listening. I started this thread asking for advice in the first instance. So after a bit of a wait for parts I've got the kit installed and it's pretty good. I'm just a bit disappointed with the hill...

And I should add, I'm glad that your bike is capable of the sort of performance I'm hoping to get from my kit. If it's the sort of thing you can do with an eBike then I'm reassured that I've made the right decision to invest in this technology and that I've not wasted my money.

Price though... I think that's the difference. The CX3 is more than a £1000 pound cheaper than any of the KTMs I could see the price of. As with any other sort of electrical appliance there are other variables which will affect the overall performance of the product. So both would be 250w...

I did do some improvements to my existing bike in preparation for fitting the kit. As mentioned above, I wasn't happy with the condition of my bike. I had the headset changed and new brake pads fitted. It rides a lot better now and is ready for the upgrade to electric.

I wanted to buy the eBike linked to above but found it isn't back in stock for a long time. I think they quoted end of May or something like that. I looked around at some of the other bikes and there aren't any which are as cheap as the CX3. I liked the idea of a lightweight aluminium frame...

That pre-converted electric bike looks very tempting actually. I know I said I thought I'd be ok converting my old one, but my old bike isn't in fantastic shape anyway so I could just scrap it and go for the electric option. The components look cheap on that bike, but I guess over time you...

I'm ok with messing around. My bike is 25 years old and has been rebuilt several times during that period. I guess there's no point in having a conversion forum if people only recommend replacing the entire bike.

I'd have to estimate my weight as I don't weigh myself much. I reckon a fairly average 12 stone would be a good guess. I googled the BBS01B but there are two things which don't seem great about that kit. Primarily the fact that they're experiencing supply problems so aren't able to offer the...

Hello, Cycle every day to work but there is a very large hill that I have to ascend in either direction and after a hard day at the office and at the end of the journey I have to do the Matterhorn and I just don't like it. My commute is about 15 miles round trip. So my question is what would...
