I sometimes meet people touring, and JOGLE/LEJOG folks. Met 2 strong lads from Hull a few weeks ago, they were 100 miles in to JOGLE and realised that carrying all the kit in large rucksacks and not on racks on the bike, wasn't the wisest move

Cheers, have you got any photos?

Wanting to add brake sensors to a bike that has Magura MT4 hydraulic disc brakes. The levers aren't a great shape for sticking the magnet type sensors to. Has anyone fitted sensors to these levers, or did you change for levers with built in sensors? I don't know if these ebike lever would be a...

My older electric conversion (rear hub motor) is on V brakes, I think I did about 3,800 miles then the rear rim needed replaced. When I was buying a new bike to convert I went for hydraulic discs, which are much more suited to my use (hills, heavy loads, higher speeds) Personally I would be...

Not bought any items of any real value from the eu recently, what's the deal now? Looking at the batteries on https://enerprof.de/en/ (Germany) You don't pay the German VAT, buy will have to pay UK VAT at 20%? Is there import duties aswell? What is the Fedex handling fee etc likely to be?

The next question is going to be which large 48v battery pack The controller I've ordered is 30a max current. I've already got one of these 48v 20ah batteries on another bike: https://varstrom.com/en-gb/products/48v-hailong-downtube-max-battery?variant=42961473437849 "Max Constant Discharge...

What would the top road speed be like if I bought the 36v 201rpm, and ran it at 48v? 20" wheel

Thanks, the choice is 201rpm or 328rpm, so go for the 201rpm then? For controller should I get S-KU93? https://bmsbattery.com/parts/1011-s-ku93-36v48v-500w-22a-controller.html And display S-LCD8...

Thanks, Apart from the choice of rpm, are the 36v and 48v the same motor? I did email bms battery to ask about the disc brake, maybe it's a mistake on the website? Have you used the firm, what are they like to deal with and what is the normal delivery time? I've had some items on...

Scrub that, seen they have it listed as 36v with v brake / disc brake https://bmsbattery.com/ebike/292-15731-q128-36v400w-500w-front-driving-v-brake-e-bike-kit-ebike-kit.html#/214-rpm-328

Cheers, looking at the Q128 on bms battery, it's listed as V brake only, the bike has discs front and back (which was an optional extra over roller brakes!)

Looking on aliexpress/ebay a name that often comes up is CSC, don't know if they're any good or not. In 20" front wheel they advertise 36v 500w and 48v 1000w, shipped out from france in a fortnight...

Hi again everyone. Just got a Bakfiets long cargo bike that I'm going to convert to electric. The rear wheel has hub gears, so don't want the hassle changing that. Mid drive would put a lot of strain on the gears, it's a heavy bike, and will be carrying a load. The front wheel is 20" (with...

Poor thing needs a wash..... As per usual, tight squeeze to get everything on the handlebars and in a place you can easily reach. I've got the little handlebar extender thing in the middle, which is also cable tied to the stem to stop it moving about. The throttle is on the left, and upside...

UPDATE: I know you're all dying to know. :D In the end I got a Giant Escape "City Disc 2". 700c wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, and comes from the factory with a stand, rack, and mudguards. The tyres it came with were skinny, so I put on the biggest semi knobbly (and puncture proof) tyres it...

My brother has one of those Kickbikes, (along with various bicycles) to be honest I don't see the point in the thing!:rolleyes:

Were they off ebay/aliexpress? How many miles has the 1000w done? If I'm buying a new battery, I'd rather pay a smidgen more for a few more volts. The new bike has a cassette (not a freewheel), and 700c, seems there's not many kits that take cassettes. Really hoping to get one in UK stock as...

So, what 1500w motors is it you'd had that have failed, and what is the 1000w motor that has served you well? I'm looking to get a 1000w or 1500w hub motor, probably 52v battery

Just to say this is the current bike, it was a cheap hybrid with V brakes and 26" wheels. The motor is a yose power 36v 350w but after a year I burnt out the controller, and I fitted a bigger controller, on the display it goes up to about 700w to the motor. That also meant I could fit front and...

Hi folks, I'm sure this has been done to death, but if you were going to buy a good quality bike to convert, what would you go for? Either make/model or just general specs of the bike. It would probably be a 2nd hand bike, and would probably be converting it with a rear wheel motor. First thing...
