It does indeed assist up to 16mph in any setting and 21mph with restriction removed to it is indeed working as it should. So it is all down to my perception as suspected and the terrain I ride which will be different to everyone else etc. I have some hybrid tyres arriving today to replace the...

To be honest Dave I have no idea how it works or how it should work. I suppose that is the issue of buying blind online without trying one and knowing what it should and should not be like etc. I should have gone with my gut feeling and got a complete bike I suppose. It is what it is weather...

But should it assist up to 16mph in every setting? Would not see point in 5 levels if all assist to same max top speed

Set at 26" as it came.

1 and 2 do not assist up to 16mph that is for sure. I have max speed set to 25kph as it came from whoosh. I tried it at an higher setting just on the estate then set it back to legal setting.

I think if I keep at it and get my fitness level back I will be fine with kit removed to be honest. The ride i did today at 15.5 miles I did in 1hr 12 mins and 2 year ago I used to do same ride in 1hr 20 ish although a bit more knackered than today lol

Think I need to try it without the kit again to see which way I prefer. I may not have needed a kit at all and it is down to me being lazy not going out lol.

I have done 80 miles on it so far in the 8 days since fitting it.

Think I will first remove the whole kit and try without. If I prefer the feel of the bike without I will try and sell the kit and just push it up hills until I get fitter lol. I think it is my perception only and as I have never tried any other e bike I do not know what feel correct or if it...

I think your right it is probably my perception of it to be honest. I just assumed the weight based on what e bikes weigh and what mine weighed before conversion so your right its around 6kg heavier so still under 20kg total. It feels heavier than I have been used to since steel frame days...

I don't go at 16mph on the flat more like 12 to 14mph. A lot less going up hill lol which is why I wanted to convert. I made too many excuses before as I know which hills kill me. It just feels strange in level 2 as I don't seem to be able to maintain the same speed I could before the kit on the...

One of the reasons I did not buy from them as delivery charge is ridiculous to be honest.

Lol yeah. I made sure both disc calipers were centered and running free last week when I fit the kit. Both wheels seem to run smooth and free. It deffo feels like the motor is holding me back on level 2 but again it may be a combination of the extra weight, my fitness and the perception of it...

Just checked and there seems to be no resistance in the free wheel or the cassette to be honest so not sure if it is indeed my perception of it. Never had a problem maintaining a decent speed on the flat but I do with it in 1 or 2 for sure. Maybe it is just the extra weight that makes me feel...

I only assumed the extra weight to be honest based on what similar full e bikes weigh at around 22kg, my calibre was 13kg prior. I will have to try it with wheel off ground as it deffo feels much harder to ride unassisted than it was before.

Just been out and done 15 miles this morning on my XF08 equipped bike that I fit last week One thing I noticed is I find it hard to ride on setting one and to a lesser amount in setting two. Even switched off I find it much harder to maintain 12 to 14 mph on the flat under my own steam like I...

Thanks for the info Dave. I have no throttle installed now as found it pointless to be honest. More concerned about battery range at mo as only got around 16 miles on first charge as tried to go out now and go to bank 2 miles away but voltage was low. On charge now though.

It may not have been 12mph, probably not taking enough notice. I did try setting max speed at 40kph in settings and tried throttle in garage and I think no load speed was 19 or 20mph. Not sure if its a correct reading though from the speed sensor as 40kph should give more like 25mph at no load...

Right so battery indicator is on the actual battery when I press the button? After full charge the battery had one red and 3 green. Not sure if the red is the last one and the 3rd green being full?

Yeah already figured out how to change settings. I have to say I have no need to increase max speed though as someone else mentioned as due to gearing and knobly tyres it sort of maxes out at 16mph on the flat and seems fast enough to me. The main thing is I can maintain an higher average dues...
