    News: Bristol cycle manufacturer with £200k crowdfund eyes e-bike market

    Yep, nothing special about this, style over substance. You can get a bike with the same motor and battery for half the price...add a brooks saddle and some tan leather grips if that's your thing. No doubt the Bristol hipsters will lap it up tho, until they get it knicked from outside Cafe Nero...

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    I've bought 3 ebike batteries, 2 Bafang Mid drive kits and a few other smaller items from 4 or 5 sellers I trust with good feedback on Aliexpress. All delivered quickly (some shipped grom uk in a few days), and never any duty or customs paid. Saved shed loads on UK/EU prices, and the sellers...

    Bafang 36v or 48v BBS01b 250w mid-drive full kit - lowest price ever? - £230 inc. shipped from UK

    I think it's just a glitch/misprice by the seller, all the other displays kits are much more, it's even less than the bare motor price !. If you select UK delivery, it adds VAT at the checkout, choose China shipping (VAT paid by seller) to get the cheap price. As I said, ordered mine last...

    Bafang 36v or 48v BBS01b 250w mid-drive full kit - lowest price ever? - £230 inc. shipped from UK

    Just noticed the discrepancy in the price when looking at the new 500c-h display. If you sold the display and other bits in the kit, you'd probably get about a £100 for them,meaning the bare motor costing you £130..happy to buy as a spare motor to swap out when my current one wears out as the...

    Bafang 36v or 48v BBS01b 250w mid-drive full kit - lowest price ever? - £230 inc. shipped from UK

    Seems to be plenty of deals on the 48v 500/750w version (pswpower etc), but not so with the 250w version, enerprof.de seem the only resonably priced supplier which is probably what you have already found..will let you know if I find a deal

    Bafang 36v or 48v BBS01b 250w mid-drive full kit - lowest price ever? - £230 inc. shipped from UK

    I thought the 48v version of the bbs01 was rated at 350w, or did they do a 250w version ?

    Bafang 36v or 48v BBS01b 250w mid-drive full kit - lowest price ever? - £230 inc. shipped from UK

    Was browsing Aliexpress and stumbled on this deal. Already run this kit on one of my bikes, but at this price, I decided to buy one as a spare, or for a future project. I purchased my last kit from this seller, and no issues, so was comfortable buying again. Shipped from their UK warehouse...

    Does your Cannondale use a Bosch Powertube 500w battery? If so, that'll fit other Bosch Powertube 500w bikes. Try looking at the Cube e-MTBs

    assuming it's a Square taper bb,check the bottom bracket is done up tight, you'll need a bottom bracket tool if it's this type https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-Shimano-Bottom-Bracket-Tool-with-Pin-Bicycle-Cyle-/192698741577?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    Carerra torque spring removal?

    My commuter workhorse Crossfire-e (4 years old, 4.5k miles), hasn't seen much use since Covid started, preferred to use my Bafang BBS01B mid drive converted Boardman MTB for fun and tours. Anyway, dusted it off, washed it, degreased the drivetrain and lubed it all up again, and took it our for...
