    Commuter bike

    I'm not surprised Hatti doesn't like their terms. cyclescheme.co.uk now charge 15% commission!

    Not street legal!

    If you focus on this one point: "has a maximum continuous rated power which does not exceed 250 watts;” Then in theory you can have a motor that can peak at 1000W but if it has a continuous rating of 250W then it's legal. Bosch CX Motors we all know are fully road legal but have a peak way...

    New Legal Speed Limit: What should it be?

    As much as I like the idea of speed there is always a time and place for that. I do find the current limit a little low. 20mph, as many people have said, is easily doable for most cyclists so at least for road use I think Pedelecs should assist up to that speed. If you're really wanting to go...

    MINI POWER POWER PACK...

    I didn't even consider the fact they will be cheap knock offs. Plenty of documented cases of cheap lithium batteries exploding too. I think Soundwave has posted the best option there.

    MINI POWER POWER PACK...

    You could fashion something up from hobbyking but it would be easier and probably cheaper to just buy the battery pack from the same seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rechargeable-8-4V-12000mAh-4x-18650-Battery-Pack-For-Bike-Bicycle-Headlamp-Light-/332061950810

    Cyclotricity Stealth Owners thread.

    Good mods, almost looks like a different bike. That seat certainly looks more comfortable for a commute than the standard one.

    Questions about Bianchi e-jab fs bike

    It's a good bike for the money with a similar spec to the Diamondback Corax 1.0. We're currently selling the Corax 1.0 for £2400 https://powerbikes.uk/shop/e-bikes/diamondback-corax-1-0-27-fs-emtb/ If you can negotiate a better price with the seller saying you can get a new bike for not much...

    Best Budget E-Bike

    I think you'd be hard pressed to get a good new e-bike for £500. The cheapest ones we have start from £649. The bike posted above by cyclebuddy looks like a good bike for the price though. If you already have a bike then for £5-600 you could get a decent conversion kit if you wanted to go...

    Advise regarding kit choice please.

    These kits climb hills perfectly fine I found. I have some pretty steep ones round here that they have no problem with. Not that I've tested them with a 100kg rider though. However D8veh is right in saying these are more efficient at the higher speeds and they are quite large and heavy. If you...

    UK or China for E-bike Kit

    There has definitely been an increase in interest and sales of conversion kits but that shouldn't stop UK sellers from replying. These kits have proved very popular lately. Especially the front kit with 17Ah Pannier battery. https://powerbikes.uk/product-category/conversion-kit/ Any...

    Raleigh Array E-Motion Crossbar 700c 2018 Electric Hybrid Bike

    The Eiger and the Array both have a throttle and pedal assist. However the throttle is limited to 4mph unless you are pedaling or at least turning your feet.

    Electric mountain bike for a grand?

    I remember the conversation. If you are choosing between the Mistral and the Eiger I personally can't get over the value of the Eiger. If you are wanting a slightly bigger bike with more gears then the Mistral is the one to go for. I'll throw in a set of mud guards if you went for the Mistral as...

    folder ebike with "large" frame feel vs hybrid conversion

    Bit of a shame P&D couldn't help you and I'm sorry for your wasted journey. By the sounds of it a custom build may be the best way to go to make sure you get exactly what you want/need.

    Sort of a ebike , kinda , ish

    That's cool. They'd go down pretty well here in the Lake District.

    Raleigh Array E-Motion Crossbar 700c 2018 Electric Hybrid Bike

    The Eiger I think is a good all rounder. Ideal for commuting, light off road use and will be fine in bad weather. The battery locks in place and is removed with a key so would be secure even if you didn't want to take it into work. I had a gentleman who was 6' trying it before and he was...

    Electric mountain bike for a grand?

    I've just got one of these in the showroom. Very impressed with it. Kudos Eiger Mid motor bike for under £900! https://powerbikes.uk/shop/e-bikes/kudos-eiger/

    Raleigh Array E-Motion Crossbar 700c 2018 Electric Hybrid Bike

    I'm a little shorter than you at 5'11" and found the Stow-E-Way a little more comfortable of a position. It will happily make it up hills but I just feel safer on a slightly larger bike. Stow-e-Way has quite a small battery as well at only 250Wh and the Array a little bigger at 300Wh. It is a...

    Wisper eMTB sneak preview

    These bikes look really nice and good spec for the price. Would look even better sat in the Powerbikes showroom. Hopefully we can get some in in the near future.
