Still no bids... who's going to place the maiden bid.. come on, you know you want it ;-)

That seller on eBay could just buy those batteries from BMS for droppshipping, add his margin and sit back ;-) I got my second battery from BMS and it's unbeatable price and quality.. I got my first battery (LiFePo4) from a seller on eBay who made them himself and the quality wasn't great.. for...

Interesting. ATB Sales own the Mezzo brand and design eh? Did you work for them when they were marketing it? I'm guessing not as it's a relatively new addition to their inventory? Do you know anything about how it's selling though with your connections? I'm curious what's going on what that...

Thanks d8veh will take a look.. the US seller charges $15, it's not too bad considering but a long wait as it will be US Mail.. I know what you mean about the high cost normally.

It's 12.3kg with the standard factory spec.

Woah. Maybe that's what happened to me, because your story sounds similar to mine.. about 3 years ago I was heavily into exercise..really addicted to it.. I would run like 4km, and then leg url weights (probably too much for me)..I was getting very fit and strong. But then after I got my bike...

While on the subject of health matters on this thread... water.. I saw this unusual health site over the weekend which proposes a radically new way of looking at health and illness.. well not new, it was apparently devised by the Nazi's in 1940's in Germany and in a nutshell it basically...

OK, assuming your shipping fee is correct (looks a bit high to me) let's say it's $360 delivered.. that's £230 (GBPUSD = 1.56*) Then you will pay: Duty 3.4% = 7.82 VAT 20% = 47.80 £285 total cost. That's about a £15 saving, but you most likely will have to pay £15 to the courier for customs...

John welcome! Where are you from? Your post and English has made me smile :-)

I don't think I will be able to achieve a 17kg build. I think even Jerry was struggling with his Brompton and smaller motor.. I'm at a disadvantage with a heavier bike and motor from the start. But anything I can do to keep the weight down will be done, so I'm hoping it will be not much over...

wow doing Yoga of all things! That's supposed to make you more supple and less prone to joint injuries init? It just shows how if you do things incorrectly you can do more harm than good.

There are bike shops will fit a kit for you, and prices vary a lot but I don't expect it will be cheap. Probably at least £100..but maybe other members here know different. There are some specialist shops I expect or dealers who will do it for you, but you may have to make a trip there or else...

That's a good way of looking at it. Maybe I should be thinking the same...my days of pedalling in high gear with the motor going full pelt may be over with my knee prob! I'm a speed freak that's my problem, always in a rush to get somewhere ;-) It is a hard decision though with gears isn't it...

In an auction format/private sale the buyer has far less recourse if anything goes wrong, basically you can only complain if the bike is not as described. If it's damaged in transit that's between you and the courier (a good reason to make sure the bike meets the standards of packaging set by...

They never seem to learn. That's the biggest limiter of selling price on eBay, I've seen so many good bikes go for a song due to that. And buyers should be more clued up on the courier options for bikes.. there are low-cost carrier options (see ParcelMonkey.com) starting from just £15 door to...

I'm ever the optimist ;-) I'll order early and select the fastest courier option. Well early next week would be good I still need a week to decide about the gears and source parts ;-) I might have to buy a freewheel from the US as there's doesn't seem to be any in the UK in the gear range I...

The most popular route for cheap kits on here is BMS Battery or GreenBikeKit that are both located in Hong Kong/China and will ship to UK for a reasonable price*.. These two companies may be related we're not sure, they have much the same products and similar pricing with a few differences here...

Priced to sell! Looks in immaculate condition too, someone is sure to get a bargain... only used for 4 months, I wonder why he is selling. Damn that's a big battery though for 10Ah, mine is half that size!

Placing my order with BMS I finally got a reply from BMS sent before the weekend about resetting my password...after all that, I have to re-register with a new e-mail address! So today's the day I'm ready to order my motor and parts from BMS and hopefully they should be here later in the...

It seems I'm not alone from all the posts this thread has generated. Knee injuries seem to be much more common than I thought. It's good to know that cycling can be a helpful thing rather than making a condition worse though..you learn something new everyday here. Electric bikes have another...
