TobyAnscombe, That is really useful information. How did your earlier bikes behave when you were heavier?

Tallfatnewbie, As grldtnr and Crossroads have mentioned, a high-torque crank drive motor is the way to go, especially carrying a heavy rider up a hill. Then add a powerful battery. Have a look at the following links. I hope they are of use to you. Richmond Cycle Centre are agents for Surly...

egroover, Yes, the Mirrycle is a decent mirror.

Tallfatnewbie, This link might help: https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13075762 Elephant bike (ex-Royal Mail Pashley): https://www.cycleofgood.com/elephant-bike/ Whether a suitable crank drive kit (Woosh) could be fitted to this, along with other mods (rear hub/gears?), other...

Shropshire Fred, I agree, it is very confusing. Basically the difference comes down to which individual components are used and their quality grade. This was covered in this earlier thread...

jumpin, I don't know about the battery, except for Jimmy and Cem at Insat International: https://www.bga-reworking.co.uk/ https://www.bga-reworking.co.uk/contact/ https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/ The BBS01B 350w kit is available from Eclipse in Newcastle...

I have just come back from a short 15 mile trip and I am even more enthusiastic about this Hafny mirror than before. I can pick up extremely clear images of rearward traffic early and easily thanks to the convex mirror with its efficient, well shaped pointy design. See photos on link...

flecc, Thanks for the detailed explanation.

soundwave, Thanks for uploading these very interesting videos. Bafang obviously take quality control very seriously. My only criticism is that the videos could do with subtitles in some of the noisier sections.

Ajax, That Myklops wrist mirror has mixed reviews. Why not buy one, use it and then report back. You can always return it if it is unsatisfactory. I will stick with the Hafny, thanks.

RoadieRoger, I had never heard of NCM Ebikes until I read your post. Their Milano gets very positive reviews: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NCM-Trekking-Das-Kit-Battery-Mechanical/dp/B07CKXW6C3/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1553608892&refinements=p_89:NCM,p_72:184323031&rnid=184305031&s=cycling&sr=1-1

I was wondering when you were going to turn up and tell ammonite about your experiences with a Motus Grand Tour (Bosch ALP). Will it cope with her 15% hill okay do you think? I completely agree with your comment about the supplying dealer.

Before you go any further, ring your Cube dealer for advice.

This is the best cycle mirror I have come across: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hafny-Handlebar-Blast-resistant-Automotive-HF-MR095/dp/B06XWRMZZF I tried several different mirrors, plus a rear view camera with mobile phone display (the camera worked perfectly, but the phone display was indistinct...

Maybe Kalkhoff have always made them that way, judging by the large number of complaints about their products on these forums.

Ray, Check with Oxygen first. Then contact Jimmy or Cem at Insat International/ BGA Reworking: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/battery-replacement.32078/

Just found this Haibike: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Haibike-sduro-fullseven-lt-6-0-27-5-2018-large-48-cm-frame/323752415848?hash=item4b6125d268:g:xQAAAOSwpsBcmM4U Bought in December 2018 and ridden for only 25 miles. It has had a 6 weeks check and Stans No Tubes conversion done in January...

sjpt, I had totally forgotten the Woosh Santana which, even with the biggest 17ah battery (610Wh), is only £1249. That is a major saving. I think the Raleigh Motus Grand Tour is only available with a 400Wh battery.
