Ahh right ,didn't realise it takes so long to charge the battery, I obviously took it off charge too early thinking it does them no good to be on too long. Thought it was about 3 hours to charge it...dohh I went out for a quick 5.5 mile test ride this morning and it felt great. Battery is now...

OK Cheers Gavin, ive just got to finish a few bits off and tidy up the wiring then I will stick some more pics up. Thanks for the info. Regards Rob.

Hi, sorry yes the bbshd motor . I have just checked the battery is actually 48v not 52v. I am still not sure what cells are in it but hopefully decent ones. When I charged it yesterday it went up to 55v on the display screen? I have a couple of questions on battery care if anyone can answer...

hd? Battery is 52v 17.5 amp from pswpower. Not sure what cells in the battery but it came from Germany I believe and was £339 . Is this likely to be OK? New to all this so any info appreciated. Regards Rob.

Some more pics. I put extra fixing through lower section of battery carrier for extra support. I still have to fit brake sensors yet and tidy up the wiring but just wanted to check that it worked first. Had a quick spin up the road and all seems well so tomorrow I will go on proper ride and sort...

Well battery finally turned up this morning so I got on with fitting it. Reasonably straight forward but needed a couple of extra rivnuts putting in frame. I also put some rubber pads in between rivnuts to act as a cushion to stop any rattle or movement of the battery carrier. See pics. Had to...

And the latest is ....I was refunded £323 pounds for the $415 dollar battery and ive been recharged £339 for the $415 dollar battery. The thieving gits...! Oh and still no sign the battery is on its way. Not right happy to be honest.

Well spacers arrived so ive put them on and the motor is now clear of the chainstay. Only trouble is I needed longer bolts and some washers too, for the support bracket as it now sits further away from the motor. I nearly stripped the motor thread using the shorter ones as they caught then...

Yeh I got myself the bike maintenance/repair stand for £20 to allow a bit easier maintenance. Similar ones elsewhere are £40 plus.

Great stuff Thanks for the advice guys. Regards Rob.

Many thanks JPGiant. I have ordered a couple. Regards Rob.

Thanks Nealh, my only concern is if I space it "off" the chain stay then on the other side it is a bit tight for getting the locking rings on. I have enough thread for the initial lock ring (good and tight with lock thread)but the secondary lock ring only just catches as it is, so any spacer...

Ok Thanks for reply. Will have to find one to suit.Ta

Hi Guys, been looking around the forum for a couple of weeks and decided the mid mount motor kit is what I want for my Cube Attention mounting bike. So got the kit and set about fitting it today. Whys it never quite as simple as the Youtube videos? Anyway got the old bottom bracket, crank etc...

I am new to all this but surely its the rider? You are allowed more than the standard 15mph 250w limit off road etc, so kit manufacturers/sellers etc, selling kits that can do this can sell the motors rated at more than 250 w on the assumption that the buyer knows the law and will stick to it...

Ahh right, thanks Iain Regards Rob.

Excellent Gavin, much appreciated for the info you have provided. Looks like ive got 2 bikes to convert....! Thanks again Regards Rob.

Thanks Iain, I had seen this on youtube previously and it was good to see how it is done. Whats the hit or miss depending on chain stays bit mean though? Regards Rob.

Hi Gavin , many thanks for your reply. It has answered many of my questions to be honest and was very informative. I have much the same requirements as you had for your build by the looks of it and it looks like I will go the same way now. Can I just ask why the base bike was deemed the worst...

So im Rob and fairly new to this ebike world. I was always into bikes as a kid , many moons ago, moved into cars ,motorbikes and just recently started riding my Cube attention mountain bike a bit more.(bought it second hand locally). Ive always been into modifying my cars ,bikes for track...
