    Check out amazon, they have 44t and 48t 104 pcd £18 to £45 depending how flush you are at the time, remove the chain guard and fit the bigger chain ring in place of it , it lines up better for the top speed, u can also fit front mech for best of both worlds

    Looking for a lightweight folding e-bike?

    Ditto Woosh above , u get used to the small wheel twitchiness after a while but not a bike to go high speeds on, I had the Tern S10 with bigger wheels but hated the way it rode and the poor way it folded, not to mention it got recalled twice for the frames snapping in half issues.

    Yes it was a bit strong on the initial kick from start, so just softened it off a little, You'll notice a big difference putting the keep current up, the bike power doesn't fade away as speed gets higher it just keeps going, motor noise is a little more noticeable though but does fade once motor...
