    Battery starting to fade on my Carrera Vulcan E

    check the dimensions and pictures but if you bike is the v1 or v2 version then the yosepower one is a perfect replacement. I got recently for my crossfire-e works great, the only difference is that the display doesn't show percent battery remaining, just shows the battery bars on the left of the...

    Cycle route apps

    I use cycle.travel website to plan the route, you can select so it uses cycle routes and quiet roads. I then export the .gpx file it creates to komoot for turn by turn navigation on my phone mounted on handlebars. Komoot lifetime world maps subscription is 30 quid, well worth it as you can use...

    That Pinnacle bike comes in at 21kg which is not bad. Not having a 3kg cheap Suntour pogo stick suspension fork probably helps keep the weight down

    Need advice where to put battery on frame.

    you'd have to measure it of course but maybe something like this would fit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002648842516.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.4.5a5174cePogAIS

    Step through/low step bike £1500

    At £769 that's a pretty solid good value entry in the world of ebiking and would make a decent commuter bike for sub 20 mile round trip commutes. As you say standard Bafang china parts so easy and cheap to fix, and elsewhere a good level of componentry for the money. Add a rack/bag, lights and...

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    Sadly not guerney, they are back up to about £380 on Aliexpress with no discount codes worth mentioning, so at that price you can go to Woosh and get them. Glad I got one as a spare at £230 back when it was on offer/price glitch, but if I ever see another deal like that will post it here

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    another vote here for a BBS01b 36v 250w kit, and a smallish hailong battery as I think it'll be more robust and reliable than the Tongsheng mid drives
