I made a new chainstay mount from a tubenut and a setscrew. I was not impressed by the supplied method as the cast ally bit did not like my chainstays & in any case, the elongated slot is just destined to allow movement. The bottom of mine butts up beneath the driveside chainstay & it uses the...

It was fun at the time I guess :D

Can confirm ;D

I had a Decathlon Btwin mirror on my old recumbent that gave a great view behind, although cannot vouch for the bar end mounting as I hacked it to fit on top of the bars using a spare light mount. The ball/cup adjustment helped in a tumble & never broke. They are no longer available...

Mmm depends how you catagorise Low End. There is a fitness for purpose element but from experience I wouldn't put them down as crap. Nor the other brands mentioned from the positive experience of others you may read of anecdotally. At £1500 you are not going to get something cooed over in a...

The only blowouts I have had are from using an overinflated tyre on a hot day. And yes plural, because this numpty did it twice. Given yours blew at night for no apparent reason, it may just have been a 's**t happens' scenario like a faulty tube?

Result - looks fab!

Hiya, I would suggest a look at Decathlon and am sure many will chip in to mention Juicy, Wisper & Woosh. All have their fans on here!

Welcome, Larry. A cheap mod you could do from the get-go is replace the left hand crank with a Bafang one. There are sellers on the usual platforms. This will reduce the Q factor a tad and space the pedals more equally either side of the frame. Isla.

Awesome innit! :D

Quick update: bike is doing amazing. The battery at 45.8v is getting ready for it's 3rd charge but am on nights all week so will wait until the weekend - charging before it's next use. Sunday evening was spent alleviating some stress with a 12 mile loop taking in Peak Forest Canal towpath & a 1...

Hiya Aimee, I don't know how far you are from a Decathlon store but they stock quite a few sub £1500 eBikes that may meet your wishlist. Their bikes are usually pretty sturdy from experience. Another option if you already have a bicycle is converting it with a kit. I reckon you may tire of...

Well done, that does look really nice!

Did the same to a 20 to fit a square taper bottom bracket axle. When I say 'machined' read 'carefully fettled with a flap disk on an angle grinder'. It worked well enough. Our 20 had the non drive side bearing cup welded in though, which for a mid drive would be further action with the grinder.

Innit. Be worth the wait tho!

Awesome news :D

Am sure one of those will be fine. In fact in some ways may be a good thing being mounted forward for even distribution. I fondly remember having a go on an early one. It was riding on Big Apple tyres and they were really nice!

Now you have the frame to hand with your battery, have you reconsidered my Tern'esq suggestion? Am only asking as I did an image search for an electric Mundo and this one popped up with a silverfish battery in the same position. Have no idea how different a silverfish case is from a HL but it...

...and they are in general, sensible in which they choose to make a journey!

Okay thank you. Voltmeter sounds a good idea.
