    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    Wouldn't that be lovely? With all spare parts available think about opportunity to tinker with your motor during long winter nights. That is way more better than Netflix! And if it is not enough, you can buy cooling kit and temperature sensor.

    Help me buy an ebike

    Welcome to rip-off economy. You can go to bike shop and ask them why car tyre is cheaper than bike tyre. I bet they won't like that question. Prices in cycling industry are insane. More and more people can see that.

    Help me buy an ebike

    When there is a will, there is a way. I kept bike with folded handlebars on the corridor for few months because she'd was already full of bikes. .. Wife didn't like it though :) If right mechanism is used it should be easy to lift bike. Even very heavy one.

    Not enough space to hang bike on the wall or under ceiling? Or store bike vertically?

    Help me buy an ebike

    There is no legal limit on motor power. There is 250W limit on continuous rated power which in practice is a sticker put on motor by manufacturer. If my math is correct, this motor is 750W and yet still rated 250W. Edit: You can load custom software into it and unlock it to 30A. Insane, but...

    Help me buy an ebike

    Yes. Unfortunately there is a gap on the market. There are no decent ready made ebikes on the market at affordable prices. You can get Chinese clankers like yours (sorry) or super expensive bikes with Shitmano/Bosch etc motors. And there is nothing in between.

    Why? Nucleus VR hydraulic disc brakes, air fork for £200 TSDZ2B motor. 250W 36V for around £200 from PSW. If you lucky and find in stock in UK, if not then shipped from Germany. Battery 36V 12.5Ah on Chinese cells for £120 from PSW. Not the best, but decent enough. All together around £520...

    I think your discussion is purely academical and as such a bit detached from reality. At this moment good quality bikes are cheap bikes. https://www.wiggle.com/p/vitus-nucleus-27-vr-mountain-bike-blue?color=velocity-blue&sizeStandard=L

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    Did you check the tyre for thorns nails etc? Some people just replace inner tube without checking and then they get puncture after puncture after puncture.

    Help me buy an ebike

    I hope it is not always the case. I am during process of buying a motor from Woosh and I think it is the cheapest option on the market (if you take into account discount for forum members). To be honest I am surprised it was only me who expressed interest in this offer. It turns out you can get...

    Eleglide experiences

    Yes, I think that was the problem. I really like to read your posts. You have a hidden talent. I must say I am not a fan of Eleglide bikes not because there is something wrong with hub drives, but because their bikes are *****. You are an engineer you say? I feel sorry for your wife. Soon enough...
