    Here we go ! Took a bit of persuasion and also with the right tool. I was being a tool using the bloody big allen key to turn the bracket removal lol. Had to buy this ratchet today. And it worked after a few tries with the hammer. Not bad.

    Hi guys, The motor and battery delivered today. Just started on the installation. But I'm stuck at the wrench trying to get my crank off. I feel so silly but it's my first time. I'm searching on how to get it off but no luck.

    Do you reckon I buy a battery from Woosh? they got a 15Ah battery + motor on there for £705. So I just get a full set from em rather. What do you think?

    Same for half the price isn't always better. I My thinking was why go thru the process of buying a used bike and having to buy multiple parts that will surely need replacing. Also, I hardly ever buy anything used, not even a hammer lol. Just my opinion.

    Hi Woosh you up next!! I filled the contact form on the site. Please what do you suggest motor wise, I'm leaning with AZ on the TSD. I was thinking bafang but seems TSD has more votes.

    Thanks guys, so much to learn. I don't think there's anything wrong with Halfords bikes either. Is there something I'm missing?

    It's not particularly hilly. On the bike trails it does get hilly but I don't go too far out. I'm 87kg.

    Well for one, I don't know where the previous thread went to. I'm not really going off road that much into proper MTB territory, I live just outside Manchester and just love having to go on the bike trails for a good ride. I have a subway 2 actually which I love but it's not got a suspension...
