would this make a good donor bike? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/mountain-bike-disc-brake/1205670247

I cant get a different kit iv already bought the 500w cyclotricity one. Edit: They allowed me to swap for the 250W frontdrive motor.

Hmmm I might have to use the mountain bike then. Anyone know how to fit 28 inch wheels on 26 inch hub. It will slot in but not sure about how to get the brakes right. I will get a set of rim brakes with the ebike kit not sure if they will fit straight away though.

My reason for going roadbike is that the improved geometry should allow me to increase my range. As I dont think my battery will go for 3 hours meaning for the other hour, hour and a half im running without battery. Roadbike allows the bike to still be reasonably light.

is the 250W kit ligh enough for a road bike? I dont think I can get this thing refunded unfortunatly as I got it off ebay. Im gonna switch to the brakes which come with the kit as they stop the motor. Do you know roughly how heavy each motor is? I know my battery is about 3KG? If the 250W...

Hey so I am going to start working for deliveroo part time. This will require cycling 3 hours a day doing deliverys some of the time is just waiting outside however and the ride times are not that far. Will my e-bikes battery last 3 hours if I only use it for hills. I am wondering if I should...

A fast roadbike can beat E-Bikes on speed of your good. This is because the 15.5 mph limit. E bikes are handy for hills though.

Cant you take the battery with you and lock it up so that to get your bike they have to cut through the frame. Also are they likely to steel your bike if it looks like a peice of crap. Paint it rust coloured and no-one will touch it. You would have to disguise the fact its an e bike not some...

Will the engine cut out when I stop peddling with PAS installed? Iv heard that its hard to install E Bike to drop bars?

Also as the Kit im getting is gonna be throttle only, will this mean the ebrakes wont be needed as the engine stops as soon as I take my thumb off the throttle?

They claim on there website that 1000W is legal as they use a loophole restricting it to 250W on the road and you need an LCD screen to derestrict it.

So I bought a 1000w kit cos I felt like I wanted power. Do you reckon this will go to 17 MPH while it is under the effects of regulatoin?

Hey does anyone know if cyclotricitys 250W roadlegal motors go up to 15.5 mph or 17mph (Legal 10% limit) and if its possible to increase to that with the LCD computer if its not built in.

Just found this description in the kit I got from ebay which wasn't listed on there. So I cant use hydralic brakes on the back, would normal disc brakes be the best I can do then and are they easy to convert from rim brakes? Things to think about before purchasing this rear drive conversion...

I plan to go at roadbike speed. Im going the E-bike route as this allows me to get that speed with minimal effort. I read some kits are not compatible with hydraulic brakes so will have a look at my kit when it arrives to see if I can use these brakes.

Would mechanical disk brakes be better than rim brakes?

Ok so when the kit is restricted to 250v will the battery last longer. I got the kit cheap off ebay for 700c tyres. If I was to keep it restricted could I go cheap and buy a 24v battery and run it on 15mph or does it need 48v even when restricted?

Ok so i've gone and ordered the rearhub 700c 1000W motor by cyclotricity. Still havn't ordered a battery. Now im thinking of getting the 48V 10 ah bottle battery. How much range do people think ill get from this bike (In 250W mode and 1000W mode). Also do you know if its possible to set how...

Thanks for this advice. What would you advise I put on the sirrus specialist its an alluminium hybrid wieghs about 10-12 kg, has flat bars, no suspension and rim brakes. What kits lightweight and would power me to 30 mph but still allow me to be fast without electric...

Oh nice so its definatly possible, I wondered whether all the equipment would fit on the drop bar.
