When you look at the top end of the market, an (un)fair margin has already been added, and yet you don't seem to get much support. "Sorry sir/ madam, we'll have to send it back to the factory for repair".... In contrast, anyone who's been on this forum for a while will know that there's two...

This is pasted from the retailer download on the EST website: 1.3. “Eligible Repairs” 1.3.1. “Eligible Repairs” means repairs that are: 1.3.1.1. necessary to make cycles roadworthy and fit for purpose; and 1.3.1.2. carried out on premises in England. 1.3.2. Eligible Repairs may include...

Alternatively, it might encourage large-volume sellers to enter the market with a discount business model. The price of mid and high-end ebikes has increased ludicrously over the last 3-4 years, partly because it's such a niche market.

Definitely a scam. The address is in Brooklyn yet they want payment in Yuan/ Yen. Also, they're offering an electric motorbike for ¥99.00....bent as a nine-bob note...

The chain alignment/ chainstay clearance is always a bit of a juggling act. If you run it close to the chainstay, just make sure there's SOME clearance (even if it's only half a mil) otherwise the main motor shaft will be off-axis in the bottom bracket. The "main cog" is called a chainring...

Welcome You'll get more help if you post a specific question in the "speed pedelecs" section here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/speed-pedelecs-general-discussion.43/

Larry, I'm guessing you mean you've offered it up to the bottom bracket, not the hub? It's quite common to have to space the motor to get a good compromise between chain alignment and chainstay clearance. As long as you can still get the nut on the other end, it's fine. Some have had to resort...

Blimey Rob, that's two conversions in two months- you must have a production line on the go!

The same place any skint person gets money....they borrow it

Looks really good Peter, definitely worth the wait. What bike is that?

Hello Andy. That picture definitely gets you the July slot in the ebike photo calendar!

Interesting thought here VFR although it doesn't explain why the resistance is greater rotating backwards than fowards. I hadn't clocked how tight the clearance is though. I just measured mine out of curiosity: 1.15mm clearance

Welcome Toby You're gonna have to give us a bit more info if you want bike recommendations... Write a shopping list of what you want the bike/ conversion to do and I'm sure you'll get some sensible replies.

In reality that's a bit like saying "what happens if I run out of fuel in my car?" And the answer is....make sure you don't! As @sjpt said, there are many other surprise factors that will immobilize an ebike (or any bike for that matter) far quicker. I'm curious- you said you tried a...

I notice from your other thread a while back (here).... https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/tsdz2-crank-fell-off-what-spec-for-replacement-nut.38174/#post-566532 ....that it was the left-hand crank that fell off. When you tightened it up, how did you stop the motor rotating when you did...

More gears just add more complexity and aren't needed on an ebike. Watt hours is the measure of the battery capacity

You do feel that on a push-bike....when you're going downhill with a tailwind! To me, that's the beauty of a well set up, well controlled ebike. It makes you feel like you've got the energy levels of a 10 year old kid, combined with the muscles of an olympian. And more importantly, it...

Dude, I assume you're taking the pi$$, right? Nobody on here is getting paid to give advice and help, it's given for free on our terms (and timescales)....

Did you document this build @vfr400? Sounds interesting...

Woosh, educate me.... What's the 28/44 bit all about? Is that a known formula for conversion? Also, is that 75 X (28÷44)?
