    Hi Southern softie saying hallo.

    Fellow d4s owner here, my first ebike and i absolutely love it, thankfully mine arrived from Banggood in perfect condition although a month late, but i knew that would be the case as i was aware they sold like hot cakes and they were wating on stock despite saying in stock. No problems so far...

    Help! Advice on replacing Gears

    Hi vfr400, i am not looking for fancy gears or shifting, just a simplified robust solution. The bike hasn't been converted yet, i wasn't happy with the gears as they are, so thought whilst converting i may as well get it all into a condition im happy with. I have got a gear shift sensor i intend...

    Help! Advice on replacing Gears

    Hi all i have an carerra Centos 13. brought for a bafang mid drive conversion, after giving the bike a test ride pre-conversion, i have decided i would like to strip it of existing 3x8 gears and to simplify things by going between 1x8 to 11. I think i'd like to have all new parts so could...

    Well a little update after messing up with the original boulder , i got the carerra vengeance, once i'd picked the motor and battery. i realised that i had messed up again :rolleyes:.

    Help! Advice on an ebike conversion

    Hi all, i finally got rid of the Giant Boulder lost 40 quid on it but better that then it hanging around annoying the mrs. I have now brought a Carerra Vengeance (with mech disc brakes :) ) and have settled on a Bafang BBS02B 48V 750, as the motor for me, partly as being on the heavier side...

    Thanks for the clear and concise answer, i think the route im going to go is sell the boulder and start over, disc brakes for me are an absolute must on an ebike for me.

    Help! Advice on an ebike conversion

    Hi all, so i finally got some time to look at the Giant Boulder alux 6000 series bike i brought, and thought the first step i'd take was upgrading to hyrdraulic disc brakes. I think i may have already messed up as the wheels dont seem to have the 6 bolt holes for the disc brake rotors, after...
