I think Flecc came up with a formula for valuation. I'd say about £400

Is weight an issue? If not it's cheaper to use a 12 ah SLA.

Rack mounted ones do, which is pretty much what the thread is about.

That sort won't work, because of the controller position. Something like this and a rack: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/koolah-rear-child-bike-seat-rack-mount-id_8132178.html ....this article will get you started with front mounted ones, my personal favourite option...

Yes, they are quite robust. I would guess 1000's of operations. They are specified at 45 amps, so should be ok.

They are rated up to 45 amp (the 45a ones anyway!). I have never used them above 30 amps, so I can't really comment.

45 amp? What battery are you using? Other options are available, but I have never had one fail. I must have used more than 100. I don't just use them on bikes. I've used them in all kinds of equipment: Drills, Radios, Test equipment, Marine electronics and more.

I've done it. Controller on bike, battery in a small rucksack. Anderson powerpole connector at about crutch level, cable fixed to rucksack straps, up and over the shoulder and down the front The Anderson will disconnect if you have a spill, or forget to disconnect. There is a risk that you...

It would matter to the sheep.

Hi Ash, Welcome to the forum.

You can get the ones that go at the front. When they get a bit bigger, you can get a saddle that fits on the top tube. You can also get rear seats that fit more like a standard rack. Never used one though. Personally, I really enjoyed riding with my boy on the front, as he was much more...

How old is the child?

I would guess the same as the Tornado.

You will have to build it yourself if you want 30mph. Is that something you are confident with?

Looks like you can have the Arriba with speed sensor and Hydraulic brakes for £1200. So Hydraulic brakes cost an extra £100. If you can afford it, it's worth considering.

Roughly: Tornado: BPM, mechanical disk Typhoon: Big version of Tornado Arriba: Torque sensor tornado, hydraulic brakes. Escape: Big version of Arriba. Cobra: lower torque SWX type motor Eiger: Crank drive I agree with Trex, Tornado, although the better brakes on the Arriba make it a good upgrade.

Yes, I noticed that. It wouldn't last long enough to drain the (very small) battery off road.

hmm, not sure I'd want 900w in the front, regardless of the fork. But to answer the question, no, they are not all made equal. Mountain bike fork will probably be the strongest option. One of my bikes is a Trek Bruiser. Its an older DH mountain bike. The forks on it are rigid, and very strong...

Why not use another rigid fork? It'll look better, be stronger and lighter. If you want comfort, use balloon tyres. Unless you plan on off-roading, suspension is a waste of time. Cheap suspension is even worse. Roughly speaking: rigid fork = Steel Suspension fork = Ally (of course there are...
