    Hub Gears

    The key to whether or not they'll work is how responsive the motor is, if it cuts power instantaneously like the bosch/shimano/yamaha motors it should be okay, if there is even the slightest delay it could make for an unrewarding experience.

    Hub motor and V brakes - how long will the rim last?

    Where you ride and how quickly you ride is the biggest factor, I live and ride some very steep hills in the High Peak of the Peak District. I descend hills at over 50 mph at times for more perspective. My rear rim on my new bike with hydraulic rim brakes wore out in around 8,000 miles, the front...

    Does anyone ride a moped?

    Yes I should have said mine is modded now, does about 70 now, it has ZZR1400 owners saying things like this :)

    Does anyone ride a moped?

    I'd much rather ride an e-bike than a 30 mph moped, I think they're really dangerous with being so slow.

    Hi there my name is Gary and 63 and quite new to electric bikes. I wonder he anybody knows about the Carrera Vulcan e bike

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    If your commute is relatively flat rather than uphill and downhill with gradients of more than 3% then I would imagine your commute is going to be rather frustrating on those bikes with standard assist speeds and actually slower than a nice 8kg racing bike.

    Regenerative pedalling.

    The most asked question I get asked, Does it charge as you pedal? To which I answer yes I have a dynamo in the front wheel that recharges the battery as I go so I never run out of electric. :p

    Next! Going from Giant Dirt-E to what? Struggling!

    I'm pretty sure the only way you'll keep up with fit riders riding light racing bikes is either on the same type of bike or an ebike with a much higher assist speed. This is probably the closest bike to what you describe and has the best chance of keeping up on an out-the-box bike...

    Happy eBay E-Biker.....

    A lot of bikes are now using the mudguard instead, reinforced obviously but most have a low 15 kg limit.

    Cube Bosch Performance cx Burns out

    I've never ridden a hub motor bike that feels like a normal bike in the way a crank-drive does, they're just not for me.
