Which hub drive bikes have you tested? Which crank drives have you tried? Have you built or or owned either?

If you are even a bit handy with the spanners you can build something that will go 24 mph, do 30-40 miles, climb like a mountain goat and cost £600 (or less) + bike. Second hand, half decent bikes cost between £100-200. If you know what you're doing good bikes can be had for £50. Total: £550 - £800

They might just cancel their own weight going up hill. Might. When I'm towing my 7 year old on his bike I take great delight in getting him peddaling, while I'm coasting on throttle only. To the genaral public it looks like a small boy powering an 18 stone man up a hill. Sometimes I shout...

Nope. You have ventured into what's called 'the wrong thread'. This one's about a cycle show in the West Midlands.

You can use an old rag in place of a chain whip if you wrap it around and hold it tight.

Probably not worth the expense. Post a picture and we can advise further....

Looks to me like standard Chinese stuff bolted an a low step frame. I'd guess 12 a/h battery and Bafang SWX motor. Realistic range will be 20-30 miles. Somewhere in the info it mentions 26" wheels. A half decent bike shop could create this from a kit in about 2 hours. There's a lot of...

Sounds like a battery problem to me. Works ok on a light load, cuts out when you give it some wellie. How old I'd the battery?

..and might chuck in a bit of casual racism along the way.

Not quite. If untrue, your 'opinions' constitute defamation (libel). I don't know for sure, but I'd guess that's against the rules of the forum, so you would not be entitled to air them here.

Until you give some specific details I think most people are going to conclude you are a shill/stooge.

The problem you will get is that heating neodymium magnets reduces the magnetic properties permanently, so soldering can be tricky, especially if you need to get large power cables on.

No, never actually fallen off, but I have forgotten to disconnect loads of times, and they always detach perfectly.

Good job KTM bike Industries UK. Harassing and bullying two forum members, then scoffing at the results. Really selling your brand there! Moronic and extremely counter productive I should think.

+1 for Andersons. I have done the battery-in-a-backpack with them, they work perfectly,.

Top job Twinkle! Parts bin bikes are always loads of fun. What did those forks come from? A folder?

I think that was D8ve, not D8veh. Easily confused.

The a/h rating of the battery is a bit like the fuel tank size on a car. So 20ah is going on toward double the 11.6ah

When I was a teenager I was finishing off assembling a bike when my mum shouted that dinner was ready. Afterwards I went straight out for a test drive of my latest creation. It occurred to me that I hadn't tightened the front wheel nuts just as I pulled an enthusiastic wheelie in front of a...

You can get a front conversion kit for around £400 delivered from China, (with 12.5 ah battery) or not much more from UK suppliers. Something like a Bafang BPM kit would be a good bet, as they give a lot of torque which is required if your wife can't pedal hard.
