Thanks for your advice Scotty and d8veh...its great to have so many options but it makes the kit and battery choice trickier, with motor power and battery position being the biggies I suppose. I like the idea of extra hill-climbing power when needed, as I'm pushing 50 and not finding hills any...

It's been interesting reading about different members DIY projects on here as I'm close to ordering a conversion kit myself to fit either to my older Scott Aspect 45 MTB or a new Giant Roam XR3, both with hydraulic discs. I want to fit a pedelec sensor rather than throttle only but I don't...

Nice conversion and good photos of the battery and fixings. How does the bike feel with the battery weight in the triangle and are there any rattles from the battery or mountings when riding..?

Models look similar to some of Juicy and Kudos range but the other brands are cheaper and using better components..? The 3E Sport is similar to Kudos King or Juicy Sport but e.g. the King has better gears, hydraulic discs and similar 'electrics' but rrp is £300 less...or £500 less for a Juicy...

I'd second a trip to On-bike in Kidderminster. They've got loads of demo bikes to try and Andrew is a top bloke. The Juicy Classic model we bought in the end is also a little high for my wife (5'3") with the saddle at its lowest but she is getting used to it now and like Bill says above if you...

Hi Alan - Details as best I know entered below...

Thanks Bob. I'll have a go at the weekend myself with the allen bolt adjustment you showed us and see how it is.

Well we had a busy weekend driving around 300 miles to demo as many bikes as we could. Our first trip last Friday was to Chester to have a longer demo of their Trek Valencia's demos which impressed again but Ann was not taken with the style of the bike (or the price..!). Next up was another...

Hi Tom. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate there are a lot of factors that determine range and I'm hoping that, like yourselves and it seems most people that return to cycling using ebikes, my wife Ann will be able to extend her range on any given bike once she regains her fitness and riding...

Thanks John. It does make sense to convert a good-as-new decent quality bike as I doubt she'll ever want to go back to a standard bike after using an ebike. I'll have a look at your site when I get a chance later and come back to you if need any help. Cheers. Phil.

Thanks overlander, thats useful to know about the range on the Treks. I guess I was using the top end of 30 miles as an optimistic figure for a longer weekend run (providing I can keep up on my Scott mtb..!). As her main use will be commuting 5-6 miles round trip I'm sure she could live with a...

Hi All. Thanks to Google I found these excellent forums but after a week of reading various posts I'm as confused as when I started as to the best ebike for our needs..! So I though it would be best to join to be able to pick members clearly knowledgable brains and hopefully narrow down our...
