OK that puts it more in perspective. You are a fit cyclist, initially you will be disappointed by the performance, you will have to adapt. For us older lasses and lads having a pedelec is a step towards fitness and like many other I am now able to ride unpowered again when I want to. What speed...

You need someone who can weld up a special boom end. I was in contact with http://www.cnebikes.com about the http://www.bafang-e.com/en/components/component/motor/mm-g5101000.html because it is PAS only and can handle 48v. I was quoted $450 with the bracket. The mounting bracket will need to be...

If you want to go fast you need to remove your major enemy - air resistance. This is a home made all wood velomobile and the young, fit German guy that designed and built it cruises at 65 km/h on the flat with a top recorded speed of around 92 km/h. Without a motor... Put any 250/350W mid...

You forgot the charger dan @ about £87

9.6 kg battery + 13% hill = :eek: 491€ vs 99€ also :rolleyes:

Don't ruin a lovely bike like that! Find another one for your conversion. Crossed with d8veh...

Nkon - putting 20 high Amp discharge cells in a battery for 95€ or 40 lower discharge cheaper ones in a bigger battery to get up the same hill my vote is for small and light weight powerful option.

I am thinking of a small battery and really like the Sony VTC6 - 30 A and 3100 mAh. I also like the Sanyo 20700 - 15 A and 4100 mAh. The more Amps discharge the better in my neck of the woods.

Welcome, You might want to look on the German and Dutch sites because they often have big frames in stock. Otherwise the kit option is the best way to go for your needs I think. You can make a very good rear hub bike for a thousand and an excellent one for 1300. The motor will be the same but...

The motor will run on voltages from 20v (underpowered) up to around 90v at which point things will start melting inside. The more volts the faster it will spin.

You can cut the wire from the LCD to the buttons which control assistance level, on/off and walk assist (handy on steep ramps with panniers full of shopping) and splice in an extension. There are 4 wires in there on the KT-LCD 3 which is very popular and common. Put the LCD in the bag with the...

The PAS from a Chinese kit only tells the controller that the pedals are moving forward. The controller gives more or less current to the motor and you set that amount with the buttons to change assistance level. Some ready made bikes have more elaborate controllers which also get pedal...

Two of those in parallel give you 12 Ah to play with and less sag all for the same price as a 10.4 Ah bottle battery!

Don't forget Switzerland with 22% of s-pedelecs. Maybe the Alps have something to do with their popularity there? i.e. not for going fast but for more power for climbing - IIRC s-pedelecs in Switzerland have 500 W nominative motors so probably more than 750 W at the back wheel in reality.

That can't be right! Those tyres are made in Germany, not in Indonesia! <sorry! it is sort of a running joke (bad joke) of mine from another thread on tyre "failure">

In theory most quality front lights take 6-42v and have a 6v output for the rear light. As a side note b+m 42v max lights work just fine at 50v.

Hey redalexx! I tried adding the Translate My Sheet addon to Sheets so that I could translate the German text but it isn't available in the menu is there an option when you publish to allow addons? Cheers for you great work

Buy one with the speedo that can show km/h...

That explains a lot :)
