Thank you for the input and clarification. Each company has their own business model but from a consumer perspective such as myself the single most important factor in making a purchasing decision between off the shelf vs conversion is after sales service. Ive read mixed reports without...

The issue I would have is the sheer number of models you maintain how to keep top of things like spares and service?

Yes I would imagine, but got to come down in price if successful and adapted by the masses? Am I reading it right? You mentioned one cable? Is it only the gears that work remotely? How about the brakes?

The Bafang will probably need a bling ring but still represents better value.

Right, shimano do a replacement unit but often change the styling and at £610 for just the hub unit I fail to see the value when a Bafang kit with battery can be had for about a hundred quid or so more.

Mike, exactly but some dealers will tell you a standard bike is not suited to conversion, which is absolute rubbish as depends on the type of conversion and brand and model of the bike. They will also say it will invalidate any warranty but if buying slightly used who cares.

Yes Alan, I agree, I wouldn't want a bike with a proprietary battery or system, this is why I'm favoring conversion where everything is replaceable and the bike can always be put back to its original form and sold either electric or original, giving greater flexibility.

Stumbled upon this very recent video would certainly ease the wire/cable running burden on a conversion if feasible. Im not bothered about cost. SRAMRED wireless system, do any ebikes have this set-up or in the planning? Bike converters is this something that could be achieved using the...

Great and informative review, thanks so much.

Hi D8veh, I agree with this one, living in Asia especially here in the Outback of the Philippines the sales assistant can't even tell me the frame size let alone anything else. Product knowledge here in Asia is very poor but when your paid less than £5 a day there is little incentive other than...

Don't forget to let us know how the Bosch CX goes, have fun.

Be fun with G06 on the back and BPM on the front x 2 batts double range.

Point taken and if on the front wheel less hassle. Just don't know why high end manufacturers don't use them so much, brand snobbery?

Agree

Funnily enough the link works, those guys are very good but usa based so a lot of bikes and 750w motors they review not available in the uk. However can get some very good info and the videos are very detailed.

Attachment broken, a lot of them contradict each other

Dave, your input is extremely valued, its very easy for a newbie like me to get confused, I know I ask a lot of questions here on the forum and where possible I try to give constructive input. Through this medium I can clearly see that there are no hard set rules in terms of which system is...

You guys at woosh are on point, I really like your approach to the market. I'll figure out exactly which way I want to go then go and see you in person.
