Hi VFR again . . I have to disagree with you on that, except for better traction on slippery up-slopes . . . It's not safer, as if you use power when your handlebars are round a a good angle it can kick, whereas the front wheel pulls in the direction you wish to go. Our family much prefer...

Hi Mark . . . I used the 250 watt front-wheel kit from Cyclotricity in its simplest form - (1) Front wheel with Motor - (2) Rack Battery - (3) Thumb throttle only (no display) - as HERE - www.cyclotricity.com/uk/custom.html They didn't have a decent sized frame-downtube battery at the time I...

Thanks again VFR400 . . . it's coming as a kit, so I'm gonna be stuck with what they supply, as it's a Direct Drive motor (not geared) in a 20 inch wheel, and I'm pretty sure the existing tyres will be ok, as they are a semi off-road type, and the same as in my previous conversion shown - HERE...

Thank you for your reply VFR400 (I guess that's the Honda ) I thought the same, but I did explain several times, that it was a Scooter with 100mm wide rear dropouts. Maybe it was lost in the translation. However I've just had another message this morning from another Chinese eBike kit seller who...

Hi folks . . . back in 2016 I converted a - Pawtrekker Dog Scooter - with 20 inch wheels to electric-assist with a 250 watt- Cyclotricity kit - before those type of Scooters became very popular, as shown - HERE - in this video I made -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOqJX5685oY&t=3s I've just bought...

Thanks also to @Nealh . . . and I'm learning a lot from you guys . . much appreciated.

Thanks @Andy-Mat . . some useful information there :)

Thanks understood . . but what if it's "New" and supplied in a kit which may have been on a shelf for a year or so? Would you "condition it then? I never knew about Dendrites before, but I googled it and now I know . . thanks :) What I am mostly puzzled about is . . (1) is it the BMS which...

Hi all . . . there are some heated discussions going on in a couple of "Private" Facebook Groups I'm in, about fully-charging a new Li-ion battery-pack and then letting it go "Flat" for three times to "Condition" it as per - Cyclotricity instructions. My guess is that the BMS cuts out power to...

I haven't carried much weight on the - Donky Bike - so far, just my Busking Amp and bits of gear (about 25Kg) and bags of shopping (around 30Kg), and as yet I still haven't used it on any significant hills. It seems to accelerate away from a standstill (with no pedalling) quicker than my...

Thanks Ben . . . I like the idea of giving the battery a bit more protection, even though there's a 5mm ply-board below it to protect if from stones ;) Even in this bitter-cold weather I'm out on it regularly trying to do the three-cycle (discharge / fully charge) conditioning of the new...

Success !! . . . I think this "might" be a world first . . a CycloTricity-powered Electric Donky Bike compact Cargo-bike, and it's an absolute beauty to ride, so I can't wait to load it up with my Bristol Buskers amplifier and other bits. Luckily, I have loads of nuts & bolts, washers, bits of...

I looked on the website - https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/36V-250W-Cheap-Folding-Electric-Bike_60646736717.html - and they do a "350/500w for US& Canada, standard speed 32km/h" - so maybe he's got one of those, It's been stood in his garage for 3 years, so I'll give it a miss, and that...

Brilliant Dave . . . I knew someone would know, thank you once again . . although he claims it has a 23mph top speed, so maybe that's an exaggeration or he's reading a kph display :(

This Folding eBike is being advertise locally in Bristol, and there's no makers identifier on it, so I just wondered if the combined expertise in this group might know something about it. I can see a power-cable going to the rear wheel but none to the front, and although both look like...

I was in the very first heat up Park Street and there were plenty of spectators at the top, bottom and sides then. Maybe after they've seen a few races they disappear and look at the e-Bike displays, as the racing is more or less the same even though the later bikes were a bit quicker. To make...

That's exactly what it was . . . I was eliminated in the very first heat, and realised if the guy who won my heat was on my bike, (with a basket on front and panniers at rear), he would have easily won the heat, as you only have to take a look at the riders to guess who's going to win (assuming...

I now ride a "Donky Bike" converted to an eBike with a Cyclotricity front-hub motor, a frame-battery, and thumb-throttle.

I agree with Jonah about trying various bikes, but if you already own a perfectly good pedal-bike, I would definitely consider the kit option, as it's the lowest cost option for your ''first'' e-Bike, so you don't have to sell it, or find more room for a second bike (which is why I did mine that...

Hi "Relic" . . . I'm from Hotwells, Bristol and am relatively new to e-Biking (about six weeks) but am very happy with the front-wheel kit which I purchased from CycloTricity . . . you're welcome to try mine if you ain't far away. I can breeze up the hills to Clifton now / Clifton Vale /...
