How much for just the motor? It would make a nice vélomobile reverse gear... :cool:

https://www.ktm-bikes.at/en.html https://www.ktm.com There was some strife between the two companies lately because Husqvarna has made an e-bike range.

Not the same KTM I'm afraid...

My washing machine needs replaced first :( For the moment I am enjoying hurting myself on silly steep (for me) climbs un-powered... I asked the LBS guy for a quote for lacing the Mxus into the rear wheel of Number Two and it sounds OK so things may begin to move forward soon.

s-pedelec has to be an open road only option which fits my case but the 45 km/h top speed limit doesn't... Being caught doing over 45 km/h on an s-pedelec, getting a fine and losing points on my drivers licence or getting a slapped wrist for breaking the speed limit on a vanilla pedelec my...

Welcome. The Big Ben is a better tyre for muddy conditions. Another powered trike on the horizon! I am a very recent convert to bent and to trikes and loving every minute so far. Much more enjoyable to ride for longer distances. I will be mounting the GSM with external controller from Woosh...

The motorcycle helmet killed the moped in France: - try pedaling up a hill in 40°C sunshine with a motorbike helmet on. - try pedalling up a hill with 1.7 kg on your head when you are a 15 year old teenager (of the smaller size)... - I don't like the physics of riding a light vehicle with...

EX1 is 11-48... Those extra 8 teeth make quite a difference where I live and I only ride on the road :eek:. I did a bit over 18 km un-powered with my Sunrace 11-40 8 speed earlier, my bottom front cog is a 26 and I was longing for at least 2 more teeth on the back in a couple of spots. So my...

While we are on the subject of ice cream and junk food distribution centres, now for something completely different, a non powered ride: Am I off topic enough? Do I get a prize? :rolleyes: I took less than an hour :) and if those climbs look brutal on the graph they are actually much worse...

20 km is a good s-pedelec commute distance, wearing a full motorcycle helmet while pedalling for 20 km is not a good idea. I hope you are cheating a bit there...

Does it have dropouts? If it is just a through axle it won't work.

They are too wide for 135mm dropouts. You need a stack height of 37 mm and the only freewheels that are that height or less are 6 and 7 speed.

The day you have to have fb to do anything interesting I'll bin the computer... I use grownups social media, pedelecs UK is social media of the best sort.

You need a battery powered angle grinder... :rolleyes: For the gates of course :D. Or a healthy passer by.

Changing the gearing won't help your natural cadence which sounds to be similar to mine at about 100-110? If you put a bigger chainwheel on to slow your cadence you will be running into other issues. The GSM is a BBS01 clone and is supplied with a 46 tooth chainwheel, it is on a 28" wheel bike...

I know, I just posted a reply in there, I have learnt to switch off my inner censor... :p

What a great page! You should link it to the thread on back EMF too because it explains the rpm problem with crank drives quite well. This illustrates the problem I have on my trike: "carrying big gears is actually a waste of your time because you won't generate the power you need, in them" a...

Back EMF kicks in once you pass the maximum rpm just like on a hub motor. The thing is depending on gearing you can spin a mid drive motor faster than max rpm before the cut off speed. Back EMF is at about 90 rpm on the GSM so when I am climbing in a lower gear than necessary I have to remember...

Not as much as people using the American term "donor bike" when it is obvious to all English language speakers that the bike is hosting a kit not the opposite...
