    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    Where did you hear that? It sounds like something you hear on the internet that nobody can ever provide evidence of. I've seen more evidence of expensive bikes cracking their frames than cheap ones.

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    ...and rear hub drive motors , I like the flexibility of being able to put these parts on well known well built bikes like the Carrera and Raleigh Array . Down side is the uncertainty of getting your bike seized by some one who does not know what they are doing so are they cheap ?. I think the...

    48 V Bafang KT Build

    Have a look at the label on the controller. If the designation number starts with SVP, it's a sinewave one, so should be quiet and smooth. If it starts with ZWS, it's a square wave one, so more noisy and not as smooth. I never noticed much difference in the settings except when running...

    Sympathetic conversion ideas for Raleigh Clubman from the 80's

    ...ours actually must have been 5+ years ago I intentionally sought out a model with the suntour hesc torque system after buying the Raleigh Array with it. I had tried cadence sensor bike at the time in Decathlon and the unnatural and delayed "turbo surge" when just turning the cranks was...

    Argos bike EplusCFX5

    Any supplier will always tell you not to interfere with their product. That motor will run fine at 36v (probably a lot better) if done correctly.

    Argos bike EplusCFX5

    ...I thought about it further and as already have 3 ebike batteries in the house now may not get a spare just yet. I enjoy taking the Raleigh Array on longer trips with the Carrera battery in a pannier bag as a spare. When I switched to Marathon plus tyres on the Array was advised to go for...

    Argos bike EplusCFX5

    It doesn't use any advance in technology. The controller is the crudest you can get. It's just the low power that makes it feel smoother. You have 24v and 12A, which is about as low as you can get on an Ebike, exactly the same as my 36v 8A one. That's about 200w max at the back wheel, which goes...

Two of them (from a Raleigh Array & Carrera e vengeance womens) are about 8 years old now though. They still hold good charge and have never been knocked. I decided not to store them...

    ...full battery. Over this run it felt just like the other 2 electric bikes I have which have the suntour torque sensor.

    I don't think its necessary but due to my wife's concerns, I store ebike batteries in a army surplus ammo box (remove the rubber seals) in the garage https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/never-tackle-an-e-bike-battery-fire-yourself-warns-fire-brigade-after-another-blaze.46121/post-693840
