    Deristrict

    What don't you understand in the video in #5? The problems you will have are reduced range because the motor will be running all the time and you'll likely be in deep sh#t if involved in a serious accident.

    Is it a bad idea to order an E-bike from another country?

    Perhaps it was done so that no correctly labelled explosive devices reached their destination.

    Help! Tilting trike - getting it going again (newbie questions)

    I think it's very likely that your controller is speed limited, as this is a much cheaper option for the manufacturer, than having a bespoke slow speed motor built.

    Help! Tilting trike - getting it going again (newbie questions)

    What's the voltage like on your old battery? If it's fairly low you could use it to compare motor speed, rather than having to ride 60 miles at 8 mph to flatten your new battery. :)

    Help! What are the best external cotroller options for my BBSHD kit?

    Not sure why you have chosen Dillinger to supply your kit. If you are looking for more power, then you will also need to replace your battery, as the cells are max. out at 30 amps. Have a look on Endless Sphere for HD tuning tips.

    Help! Yosepower?

    No, not Bafang, unsure of manufacturer, but they seem to be a reliable hub, quite a few here running them.

    Bonkers bike!

    Deff. a B from me, that's nasty :eek:. If you want Brighton cool, then these are the boys. Shame they have chosen Bosch motors though.:( http://store.ruff-cycles.com/the-ruffian-lil-buddy-bosch-ebike/ruff-cycles-ruffian-red-bosch-ebike.html

    TSDZ2 hardtail MTB conversion picking the right budget bike

    VFR is right, there's an abundance of decent, lightly used s/h bikes for sale. Even if you have to replace a few parts, you should still save a good chuck of cash.

    700c hybrid suspension fork

    I fitted some Suntour Nex forks on a friends bike and they seem happy with them. They're nothing special, only a spring fork with preload adjustment, some have lockout. If you don't mind a lack of stickers, they can be had for under £50 or less...

    Bafang BMX conversion

    The bling ring has a narrow/wide tooth setup, you have to match a wide tooth with a wider link, if it's tight, move the chain along 1/2 a link.

    Bafang BMX conversion

    Bmx chain, 1/2" x 1/8" will run fine on the Bling Ring, i've used it myself. The tightness you desribe could be down to your bad chainline. I can't think of any chainring setup that will be an improvement on your present setup. That Dicta freewheel looks quite deep in your photo, measured a SA...

    Bafang BMX conversion

    What do you mean by mismatch? As you have plenty of clearence on the chainstay, you could improve chain line by grinding the BB to bring the chainwheel inboard and adding spacers on the non drive side if needed. Looks like you could add 1-2mm spacer behind the rear freewheel.

    Battery repair, how daft is this?

    I'd rate that well above bodged Kirstin :D. It's not ideal, but as you say, I think it will be safe as long as you don't run it too low. Just a thought, but I wonder if the higher max. discharge rate of the 30Q's will help maintain their voltage and narrow the difference in capacity in real...

    Cyclotricity 250w front hub, what is it and what would be better?

    I'm not really the right person to ask about ready made packs, as I build my own. The only seller I have personal experience with is Yose Power from whom I bought a battery for a friends bike last year. I opened it up and it was well constructed with LG MH1 cells as advertised. They ship from...
