    Convert a old lady pashley for hills

    250w is still very minimal assistance .I found the 350w just about ok on hills .But 250w is more work than id want from a electric bike experience . It should put a big grin on your face ,not be a grind still going up hills. Trust our nanny state to take an awesome invention and ham string it...

    E-kit purchase - questions from a newbie

    Just buy a bbshd kit and a big 52v triangle battery.Say 24 Ah .This will give u all u want. Check out electron cycles site for a start. Unfortunately the coupling of 30mph with 40mile range will cost ,but u will never need anything else again...Or want.

    Upgrade to BBSHD?

    you prob better off with 30Q. Its hard with the bbshd to resist the temptation to use full power for extended periods.Not just bursts .As i understand .The ga cells in a 5 parallel will be delivering 6amps in that case.while being rated at 5amp continous 10amp for short bursts. 30Q s rated...

    Upgrade to BBSHD?

    Getting a 2nd pannier mount batt in 52v may prove hard , 52v doesnt seem to be that popular in uk. i dont know if the bbshd is just more efficient at higher amps .But you dont seem to get as great an increased range as ud think,halving the amp draw. Ie ,run 25-30 amps get 20 miles. Run 13amps...

    Is there an road legal kit for an 48v 14.5ah battery?

    Most important bit is a propper guide hole .Hammer a hardened nail through .Then slow build up of drill size an a needle file.Buy aluminium riv nuts with a decent top hat rim u can get some pliers on.Or you will struggle to draw them up. Use a short bit of metal tube.Sit it on the riv nut .Screw...

    I will ride my 52v 15ah flat using the 13amps setting only.Equivelent to the bbs01 350w maxed out and post the range .Add 15 % then for a 52v 17.5ah. You can get one of those from electron cycles .It has the higher capacity GA cells.Costs £475 but with the bbshd kit its total £1025. They chuck...

    Do it...I went bbs01 350w ,36v first time because price. 10 months later Experience shows i just should have bought a bbshd and a big AH 52v from the start. On a good mtb Its a dream set up for anything. Lets be honest ,would anyone ever choose a 250w motor if 1000w motors became legal.
