    Project 2 .1500W rear hub kit

    Hi Gavin, yeh its a bit tail heavy i would say, as it does tilt a bit when lifting, but we wont be pelting down mountains or anything, so roads and trails, tracks should not be a problem i dont think. I think the bike was about 14kg before the kit was put on but now it must be about 25kg i...

But i will have a go on it tomorrow to see what it rides like as ive only had a quick go so far. The wife seems to like it though so thats...

    Project 2 .1500W rear hub kit

    I then had to take brake sensor of brake levers supplied in the kit as the levers were for cable brakes not hydraulic. Used the epoxy glue again to glue it onto bikes rear brake lever and make sure contact is broken when lever is pulled. Again I just need to file glue smooth and paint it black.

    Project 2 .1500W rear hub kit

    I then had to sort out a fix for the pedal assist disc which is for a square taper crank normally. I had to remove the flexible tangs from the middle and slide it over the crank then shave off about 3mm from the crank arm as there was no space for it to go on. I then used some epoxy 2 part glue...

    Have you also got the display screen set with the correct wheel size? That will make a difference to the speed shown and the actual speed.

    I think the chain ring with the kit is 46t as standard. So putting this on will help you with top speed. I know my kit with the standard ring will take me to 30+ mph. You should be able to change the kmh to mph in the display screen menu. Regards Rob

    Project 2 .1500W rear hub kit

    Hi Gavin, it wasn't intended to be honest but after I had mine done it was clearly obvious my wife would not be too happy with me sauntering off into the distance and wanting to extend our rides whilst she followed on behind huffing and puffing up the hills..! So when I suggested to her that I...

    Project 2 .1500W rear hub kit

    So I got on with it today and it was not straight forward but nothing that could not be overcome. I have got it all fitted and did a quick test up the drive and it feels pretty quick. Wiring is to be fettled a bit but it is tied up so we can test it first and finish it off properly tomorrow...

    is this a square taper crank workable for my PAS disk?

    I have had the same problem today with my kit that I was fitting. No room between crank arm and bottom bracket. As vfr400 advised in your post I shaved about 3 mm off the crank arm to create a gap and I also did not have the square taper bottom bracket so I had to remove the flexible tangs in...

    Electric bikes discredited

And I am peddling as hard a I can anyway so it probably leaves them wondering what the ferk was that..? But I have to be honest I do actively...

    Hello

    My very limited knowledge of ebikes having only just got one, is that they are a revelation. I used to cycle everywhere as a kid, some time ago, but have not cycled in 30 years probably, but now I go out on my bike and just don't want to stop. It is only for pleasure , not to work or anything...
