    Freego Hawk Power Setting Fault

    Disturbed contacts, yes check ALL the cables. Worst case is a dry joint pcb fault that moved when you played with the lights

    Help me decide

    For £1000 an eBay frame with disk brakes and a kit. There isn't any huge difference in efficiency between modern hub motors. A crank could be better but it's still likely to be marginal. The salesman was bullshtting. More amps more range. Higher speed or assistance less range. That's it.

    The rule is more amps more range. The effort you put in makes a huge difference to the range. Test ride and test again.

    Pro-Rider bikes.

    It's heavy at 22kg with very basic everything. But it's dam cheap. Not posh stylish the trendiest. With no competition it would get mrs new biker to the shops and back with a big smile on her face. For not so much money..

    Ignore the 500+ watt claims the bbs 01 can run at over 800watts, the rating system is pants. A legal kit like that can do 20+ mph on the flat with very little effort.( if the speed was de restricted. Any motor marked greater than 250 watts is automatically illegal, it doesn't matter what power...

    Advice for a newbie thinking of a 20 mile commute

    You are the major unknown here. That bike would normally allow me to easily do 20 miles in 1.5 hours. I would consider 100 ft of climbing in a mile as virtually flat. If my athsma was playing up I couldn't do 2 miles on it. We are same age but I'm 100kg if that helps. The speed you expect is...

    There are only two issues that people have. 1 getting the cranks off, tool kit from Lidl helps here. 2 dremmeling out the bottom bracket, if needed. Or you could use a file. Otherwise it's plug and play.
