yesterday I covered just under 12 miles on my 300 w/h battery until it went flat, with an average speed of just 12 mph, to say I have range envy is an understatement.

hover over the smiley face in the bottom right corner

and they still make garages that are the same size now. There's a new estate near me where a lot of residents park a long way onto the pavement even though the road is plenty wide enough to actually park on it without causing an issue, a generation growing up having never walked anywhere perhaps?

In my opinion the disability is the key to this discussion, but the OP refuses to engage with me, certainly a low geared Yamaha powered bike could be suitable with its strong power with lower cadence speeds than the Bosch motors.

What's the motor? and given the 20% requirement has been slackened off things are less demanding.

I do miss the older version :(

I clocked over 50 mph down there on my e-bike one day, slightly slower going back up though. What will happen if you go over 120 bpm ?

In that case a hybrid with this Bosch motor like this with a speed-up device (dongle) will do, I'd seek out a 500 wh battery model, although this 400 wh model should just cover the 20 miles https://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/m12b123s184p19816/CUBE-Touring-Hybrid-One-400-2018/RS_GB/84067

How fast can you go on an ordinary bike?

Just to say Juicy don't make bikes powerful enough for going up 20% hills with virtually no rider input.

Vortecks builds bikes like you require

Yes you'll need something powerful to tackle the steep roads around here. I've no experience of kits but I'd say you need a powerful rear hub motor. ETA Just wanted to add that it sounds like you may have M.E ? apologies if not.

Listed at 12.2 kg here, which is more like it http://www.mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PDF/Marin/1993.pdf

I've got a 1992 steel Kona and it is no where near that sort of weight, although I'm not sure of the exact weight, certainly it is considerably lighter than my e-bike.

Turbo on hills should roughly double your speed compared to non assisted, perhaps a bit more in your case coming from an old MTB, although I can't believe your old bike is as heavy as you say :eek:

easy enough to change, looks like flipping the stem will also lower the bars a fair amount, although I get the impression you can't see my posts because you've not responded to them :(

A nice useable bike, and just the sort of bike I'd replace my current bike with.

Gun Hill is pretty tame to be honest. My weedy Bosch classic with hub-gear friendly reduced power goes up Winnats like this. On the segment in the link I'm still 11 secs faster than Andy who holds the KOM. However on the e-bike segment someone has smashed my time by about 40 seconds, but he's...

I'm not sure where or who is doing 17/18mph ?
