    Power for Hills Only + swap between bikes if possible...

    I've had this argument with two organisers They quote their insurance policies and inherent dangers of lithium as the root cause Ps. Don't shoot the messager. You and I know both know every single person has at least one other lithium battery in their phone (and then their lights, gears ...

    Power for Hills Only + swap between bikes if possible...

    For your requirement and funds you could go to Cytronex lightweight front wheel conversion , neat , very freewheeling Easily swappable out for a non motor wheel It ticks your boxes but it is very expensive and may lack power (all that freewheeling, light, relatively low power neatness come...

    Upgrade to BBSHD?

    You are right of course! I kinda read that he wanted more rather than lots more ! Sometimes I do think some folk just go large on the motor without thinking the battery consequences through fully. Im always on a tight budget and have a few years experience. Hence the friendly warning in that...

    Upgrade to BBSHD?

    Im not sure I agree on he first bit . I have a 500w 02 and my mate a 250w bbs Both mounted to similar hardtail with same batteries The 350w is just a reprogrammed 250w. The 250 actually peaks at 600W and the 500w at just over 900w So thats 50% extra power which we both feel is very very...

I don't bother getting involved On a personal level there a few roadies at my work who have expressed the cheating view who I have taken time to speak with.

    Regenerative braking?

    Forgive me, I don't follow the op Is this an idea for regen that somehow doesn't involve a dd hub ? If so it may have some legs (though personally very dubious ) If not then others have tried and failed. Or not failed exactly , I mean it does works . But the upside in teeny extra power...

    BSSHD / BBS02 throttle only - would it make your chains snap frequently?

    I didn't think you could for the throttle, only PAS. On my bbs02 the throttle is brutal and I have a low start up to keep my hub gear happier. I mostly don't use the throttle and when I do I can feel and hear the bike complaining Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A very common requirement amongst first timers (including me) However, no one ever actually does this as you are still left with all the rest of the gubbins (techie term ;) as others have pointed out In reality I would suggest a better question is how easy will it be to cycle without power...
