    None of it is e bike spec, they are all standard mtb or road chainrings depending on the application.

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    In reality it wasn't quite what I had planned. I know they are building some new routes for next season but this one looked promising but was a dead end. Will try a small variation soon;)

    Strictly Motors

    Biggest problem on my Yamaha with no power on is the extra weight and tyre drag. It is more than 10kg heavier than my mtb and has more aggressive tyres at a lower pressure because it is an ebike a bit of extra drag is worth havind for the extra grip on the downs.

    Would I be dumb to buy an leccy bike?

    I have an unrestricted hardseven, I can get over 60Km with 2000m of climbing on one battery. It depends how much power you use, stick it in eco, get an extra 100-150 watts and you will go a long way. Be aware that Haibikes are generally heavy things, I'm not sure I would use one for that...

    Giant Road e+1 newbie....

    I used a standard speedo magnet with a drop of araldite on the pedal axle. The araldite is probably not required but I do ride off road in the Alps so a little extra insurance. I also fitted a second neoprene chainstay protector to the non driven side of the bike which hides the sensor nicely.

    Giant Road e+1 newbie....

    Just fit a magnet on the end of the pedal and turn the speed sensor round, no more speed limit. The speedo will not work correctly but if that is a problem just fit a wired (not wireless, too much interference) cycle computer or use a smartphone with a gps speedo app. All a whole lot cheaper...

    E bike battery current limiting

    I'm not sure if this works with a Bosch as I don't have one. Hence the link to the German forum. d8veh is totally correct the batteries must be at the same voltage when you connect them and they must be charged separately so that the BMS for each system can do it's work and keep the batteries in...

    Which Kit?

    5mm, taking the 43.5 at the bottom and half of the 40mm between flange centre lines gives 63.5, take this away from the 68.5 centres between the nuts gives 5mm offset.
