Can't remember the sizes but ISIS BB's are available in two different bolt sizes 12mm and 15mm or something like that, obviously the 12mm units are for Down Hill bikes and FreeRide etc, whilst 15mm is aimed at Cross Country and Touring. Just differing Spindle thickness. The SKF ISIS BB's came...

Did I read correct RobF, that the Bafang Max Drive uses the ISIS interface for the cranks. I am a big fan of ISIS and my current none ebike bike, runs ISIS Ti Cranks, using SKF XC-600 Bottom Bracket, that is still running sweet after 13 years! Bosch of course also use the ISIS interface, far...

Yep, Woosh I also noticed that JOBO quote 180 units per container!

I noticed that JOBO Electric Bike (Jinhua JOBO Technology Co LTD) started producing a Bafang Max Drive Ebike 700c wheel back in 2015. Nice integrated 36v 11.6Ah battery pack Panasonic/Samsung cells. The JOBO could well be another £1000 ebike, and I am suprised that none have arrived in the UK...

Yep brightonebikes, I can see the future being that you can buy a Max Drive compatible frame, manufactured for different disciplines and from differing materials. My current pedal power only Ti bike frame/forks came from Tilon in China. Tilon made me a very nice Rohloff specific frame, I...

Yep, lovin that photo, Bafang Max Drive all the way now, will be installing my Rohloff igh into a Max Drive bike.

Yep strange that anotherkiwi, it worked for me about 20 mins ago, that's how I found the trading name, but the website appears to be down now.

Thanks cyclebuddcyclebuddy and Ultrafunkula, I notice that they trade as "East London Bike Company Limited". Is the premises operating as a retail shop, or just a mail order operation. Work takes me down to London on occasion, so no problem for me getting there as I am often hold up in a hotel...

Thanks for the info cyclebuddy, where exactly is the Greenway store, I like the idea of calling there and collecting a Max Drive ebike. I was looking at the BBS kits, but they were coming out at £900 with battery, the Greenway Max Drive, seems a bargain in comparison to a kit. Not to mention...

Can't help with the techie stuff, but having been on the cusp of ordering a BBS02 kit, I soon decided to wait untill a decen Max Drive ebike comes to market. The Greenaway Max Drive on eBay can be had for £1000 c/w 400ah 36v battery, absolute bargain compared to the Bosch and Yamaha Bikes being...

Wow that's dear for Butter, Aldi price is around 79p !

Slightly of topic, but the latest EVTV video gives quite a good insight into EV batteries, the Friday 13th January 2017 ( sorry can't do the Linky thing) episode gives a talk on a stripped down Tesla battery, which of course is stuffed full with 4000 odd 18650 cells.

I notice when the Alfine is fitted as an OEM unit, it is always with the lower torque motors, especialy the Bosch CD motors. So I guess you will have to be carefull with the gearing, otherwise there is a good chance of mashing the gears. More money, but the Nuvinci would be a better option, or...

Go for the Rohloff R&M, I have been riding a regular touring bike, with a Rohloff and it has given me 13 years of trouble free operation to date. The Gates Drive is a very neat solution, but I would still prefer to have a Chain that I can tinker with when required. Of course I run a Rohloff...

Check out Tesla battery swop out on YouTube, quite amazing although I don't think they fully rolled out the program.

Yep the link features the new Tesla Panasonic 2170 Cell which is now in production, according to the Tesla CEO Elon Musk, this is to be the worlds highest density and lowest price Cell, which will yield around 30% reduction in battery pack cost. What's not to like.

Outstanding Ultrafunkula, I was waiting for someone to report back on the Greenaway bike, as I was concerned that it might turn up with an 8fun CD and not the Max Drive, as in the description there is no mention of Max Drive. Also did the bike come with Hydraulic Brakes, including motor cut of...

Wow, is that an Ever Ready front lamp I spot, that must be at least 30 years old itself!

Security of the bike is a big issue, our local Metrolink station has a Cycle Hub, which is supposed to be secure, the Hub is fully enclosed with CCTV and a Pin Code and Card is required to gain entry, to the fully enclosed small building. I am told Bikes have been stolen from the Hub, and...

Well unfortunately the UK public have fallen for it again, all the referendum was about was giving folk the choice. It make's no difference whether we are are in the E.U. or out, as we were never fully in it from the get go in the first place. Had we been in the E.U. In the first place, we by...
