Laura, I advice against going back and considering Swytch as an option. It is really one of worst choices available out there. Buying e-bike is a lazy option. I don't like business model of market leaders like Bosch, Brose, Shimano etc. They don't make products to last. They don't want...

I see no reason why Swytch kit might be incompatible with your bike. Having that said I don't think Swytch is a good option at all. Do you find riding your bike safe? I have absolutely zero experience in that matter, but with child seat so high, your bike looks to me very unbalanced. If I were...

KT controller then.

What is your budget? Is starting from scratch with new bike an option? If not, then front hub motor with torque sensor would be best option I think. ...and welcome.

Perhaps it is part of the problem then? How easy it is to buy.

Is it possible to buy a new motorbike without plates?

Add extra weight of 20kg and kinetic energy almost doubles. And it is only 5mph increase in speed.

Perfect example how data can be manipulated to give false impression. Somebody might think number of staff has been cut by half over period 2010-2016.

Police in action:

Risk of hitting pedestrian is relatively low. Speed and increased bike weight (e-bikes can be easily 3 or 4 times heavier than non electric bikes ) mainly affect risk of injury to cyclists. OK... another example, this time when impact energy is directly reflected to cyclists. Imagine hitting...

Depends what you mean by that. Motor/controller/battery directly affect speed and acceleration. Speed and acceleration affect risk of accident and risk of injury. No Tony. When it comes to risk of injury, there is a massive difference between 15 mph and 20mph. All comes down to energy. As...

There are quite a few, but prices are not so attractive. Yose is UK based. It is a Chinese company, but they have warehouse and service in UK.

Short term memory loss? Already forgotten advice given by yourself on how to derestrict bike and even how to get away with it when stopped by police? All quite effective I must admit. I have better things to do than searching through archives. We both know you did it, so why bother to deny?

Please don't forget information about electric system. As much as possible. This is what people are mainly looking for while buying e-bikes. Motor manufacturer, rated power, torque. Battery, capacity, cells used, bms, continuous discharge current, max discharge current etc. The more...

To me connection is pretty obvious. Main reason why accidents on Surrons are so deadly is speed. By helping to derestrict e-bikes we create more Surrons out there, just without Surron label - cheaper and more accessible. We increase risk not only to those who derestrict e-bikes, but also to the...

+1 for good hydraulic brakes. Cheapest I can find: https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-mt200-ur300-flat-mount-front-disc-brake-218489.html Good value for money. If money is a problem - buy front only. More expensive option...

For starters we can stop telling people how to derestrict their bikes. I think more than half of members here have illegal mopeds and just pretend to have EAPCs because it is convenient and cheap.

OMG... this is so accidentally inappropriate...

What is the actual meaning if "technically illegal" bike? The way I see it, bike can be either legal or not. Or is it something like riding on pavements? You can't, but you can.
