I'd say go for it,I fitted one of these lits (rear wheel version) and am very happy with it and am 6ft 1in and 20+ stone,on a good day I could probably get about 40 miles from a full charge,a good day being no wind and flat canal path and using the lowest setting.

Looks like it was made to measure

Easily removable for normal cycling? The only thing you can remove easily is the battery although swapping a wheel back over to the original one isn't much hassle I'm pretty sure you'd only do it once or twice before you got fed up with it.The extra weight of the kit does make a big difference...

Yip it's great not having to worry about hills and headwinds,nice bike.

Wouldn't think that would matter,surely a LBS wouldn't have a problem doing basic maintenance on it,I could understand if they didn't want to get involved with the electric side of it .

Wee picture would be good once you've got it set up.

Just wondering why he would need to basic maintenance himself?

I bought a second hand bike off gumtree and fitted a kit to cause I wanted to keep my "good bike" as it was,It was £425 for the kit from electric bike conversions and fitting was pretty straightforward,It does what I was looking for and I'm happy with it.I'm from Glasgow and use the canal to get...

Don't know anything about the decathlon bike but if you know a wee bit about bikes fitting a kit is pretty straightforward,you can get a kit for between £400 and £500,where abouts in Scotland are you ?

Welcome ChrisGla,good to see yet more folk from Glasgow getting into electric bikes.

I fitted the throttle on the left-hand side beside the front shifter,the throttle is upside down and the shifter is in a strange position but since I only use it now and again it's not a problem,I think having the throttle on the left makes more sense cause it allows you to signal and use the...

Your always going to look over your shoulder anyway if you see anything there

Al order a couple,Can't go wrong at that price,cheers

The general opinion on here is that the geared motors are best for all-around everyday use,if the 500w bpm is geared id just go for it but if its not id go for 250/350w geared motor,nothing to stop you putting your own sticker on the 500w motor

That looks good,I was just about to go and look to see if it would fit with the grips av got on but your wee picture saved me getting off my arse cause you've got the same grips fitted

Can't see a problem with putting them in the van,might need a wee bit of thought and maybe have to remove a wheel or turn the handle bars to fit them in but it would be my first choice.

It's in the pipeline apparently,they had a model of it at the canal festival a few years ago(it's called the big man) but I heard the original design wouldn't work so it's been redesigned and is still on going,it's being designed by the same guy that done the kelpies.

I go towards clydebank from stockingfield junction, am looking forward to when they eventually get round to building the bridge at the junction.

A set of bar ends are useful in this situation
