    Sub £1000 bike conversion

    Nothing climbed hills like my 350w BPM hub running at 48v No longer have it, or indeed any hub bikes, I miss it for speed up hills Legal cranks cope perfectly but not at same pace

    Insurance

    I can tell you m&s are free under a grand The utterly extortionate after that. And, for comedy value, my auto correct insists on amending uttlery to burglary Which seems ironic

    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    I've not had one last more than 3 years but that's with a 5 day per week commute and leisure on top of that Edit : misread op. I am talking batteries only above. My last commuter bike lasted 6 years before being uneconomical to repair (everything except the handlebar was shot !)

    tempory fitted a dolphin 09 13.4 to my kudos vita uno to replace bottle 10.4

    It isn't super clear what issue is. I read your post to say the co controller and new rail have different connectors ? If so just cut them off and solder XT60 I use XT60 across all my bikes . Waterproof, easy to solder, used by lipo and you could then use different batteries or holders with...

    Where can I buy a decent battery from?

    Ahh, sorry my vpost wasn't clear. I ended up purchasing elsewhere via eBay, a hl 11.6ah pack using Panasonic pf cells at a decent price. Bit of a gamble as sold by someone whose bike was pinched before they used the battery. Seems to function perfectly. Actually it made me fully realise how the...

    Newbie from Brighton - any advice re folding e bike for train

    Hey Nina , im a local too Not commuted by train for years but at peak times southern used to operate a three fold policy (at the time it basically meant yes to brompton and no to cheapo Chinese half folders) Check their current terms first might be a good call. For example the Woosh Gale...
