    Motor & Battery Combination.

    You can get a 250w bbs system. I have one Brighton ebikes and woosh are reputable UK sellers The law is a mess but breaks down to . Whatever the manufacturer stamps on the side is the motor rating. As long as it says 250w you are fine. It isn't related to actual output wattage. Most 250w...

    Byocycle City Speed 2016. Advice needed to retrofit throttle

    Ahh I see why you are confused on this now. That is not the controller. That is the handlebar panel The controller is usually a silver metal box containing a circuit board. It's the brains of the system and all wires lead to it. See if you can follow the wires from the led handlebar panel and...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    Do a few searches and you'll see it is true. Unless you read the Gov.uk own website which https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules Which states maximum motor output of 250w. Which unless I'm very much mistaken is utterly wrong (and most ebike suppliers too). Motors need to be rated at 250w and...

    At risk of being mathematical fool and turning the pedantry up to 11.....is t it 17.05mph ? 10/100 of 15.5 being 1.55. Plus the 15.5 is 17.05mph

    A big hello

    H I think you really need to try a few bikes. Find a few dealers and go !! Woosh do good value bikes in the lower /midddle price range. Excellent CS too but they are miles away from you Ideally I'd say try a couple of bosch options and a woosh big bear and see what you like the feel of. If...

    A big hello

    Welcome to the site ! I'm not a motorbike but there certainly a few here. Ebiking is the best way ever to get back into it ! Good choice imho I helped a couple of guys buy folding ebikes at work who where 120kg. If you are looking for a full size bike should be no worries at all, folders...

    Climate change solved by ebike batteries with massive range

    Or war. Massive, global war. Frighteningly plausible these days with the various mugs, eejits, psychopaths and despots currently with fingers on buttons

    Bafang BBS01B 36v 350w mid drive run on 48v battery

    Nope, I've blown enough other 36v controllers by putting 48v or more through them though And they had higher rating caps in them than the 50v caps you have in yours Still, if you dont like the advice you can try it and see!
