    Which conversion kit?

    Your argument seems to be that I know better and that because this is on a piece of paper this must be true and hope that everyone believes it must be relevant. The certificate is not the whole story though is it. Your approach seem to bully rather than argue the point and none of what you have...

    Which conversion kit?

    montwo I have never mentioned the power as I have said before that has been discussed on this forum before its not relevant the assumption is that it will comply in those terms in this case. Assume for argument that the motor concerned is rated at 250w. I have never stated that you cannot...

    Which conversion kit?

    I dont think that is the case and you have not put an argument up that would counter what I have said. I dont see the relevance of your example, there is no law concerning owning a knife, but you can be arrested if you have it on your person in public, that is breaking the law. That is not the...

    Which conversion kit?

    That statement is not really relevant in this case. I have not discussed the power output and I am not going into a discussion on motor power that has been covered many times on this forum. The point is the rule is it must be limited to 15kph if you have the facility to change that, its not...

    Description of mode here https://m2sbikes.com/adjusting-top-speed/ Legislation here Electric bikes: licensing, tax and insurance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) Specifically I do not see how you can argue that the ability to change the speed to 45kph is in anyway legal. You are not...

    Which conversion kit?

    Sorry I was looking at this certificate for the Barfang motor https://www.cycloboost.com/media/guide/Certificat CE BBS 250W.pdf , this does not cover the speed. I see now that standard quoted was superseded in 2017. The standard configuration of the motor is with an lcd display that allows the...

    Which conversion kit?

    That document covers the electrical saftey standards, I would not think that it applies specifically to things like the speed setting as such. I would not take that to mean that a motor fitted to a bike with that certification would necessarily comply with all the current e bike regulations.

    Problem with finding battery/kit to fit small frame 14". Need some help :(

    Looking again at your budget I think you can forget the rack option. I also think the mid drive option is doubtful with regards to your bottom bracket (you should check that). Mid drives tend to be more expensive as well that might be a factor. Lastly with regard to mid drives, you intend to...

    Problem with finding battery/kit to fit small frame 14". Need some help :(

    Hi, I have been through this with a 14 inch frame, in short there is no good answer for the frame battery issue. I came up with three solutions. 1. The rack battery solution is the most conventional but on a small frame seat clearance can be an issue. The saddle can foul the rack and...

    Price impact of the "deal"?

    You seem to be able to order stuff from their Chinese warehouse but nothing from Europe. Could be an oversight on the Chinese end though and I haven't checked it by actually ordering stuff. Hope this is resolved as suppliers in this country tend not to have stock or not what you want. It could...

    Police Checking in London

    The UK Government advice would appear to not agree with that statement. Electric bikes: licensing, tax and insurance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) The requirement for to show power appears to be optional with the manufacturers name. It also states that the power should be a maximum of 250w. If that...

    Revos vs Woosh system

    £595 for a 209wh 24v cadence system seems quite pricey. This seems to be one for a reasonably fit cyclist looking for a bit of assistance on hills only. As such its a bit niche I, would think not that suitable for those who need assistance all the time. I would have thought as the range would...

    Help! Looking for an Ebike carrier for a 2019 Ford Focus

    Try taking the Battery off and it will probably below 20kg. Any other solution will be more expense and/ or more hassle. An explanation of this statement would be useful, most people seem to get by with these whats your issue with them.

    Insurance

    I would be concerned with any kit bike, many if not all have the facility to up the top speed beyond the legal 15.5mph either by changing the wheel diameter setting or in some cases altering the maximum speed. That includes some that are sold as uk legal, its a bit grey. If insurance is your...

    Looking for advice

    While there are some who take a self riteous approach to e bike regulations, speed and safety on forums, to the point of trolling in some cases, I don't think that this is the case with Neaths reply. its a piece of solid advice both for technical as well as safety reasons.
