    Not sure if I should Convert or Buy off the shelf

    Hi thanks for the prompt reply. I would be more interested in a tube mounted battery rather than a bag (personal choice).

    Not sure if I should Convert or Buy off the shelf

    Hi all, Your expertise is required, I recently purchased a Carrera Crossfire 2 and I'm really happy with it. I have made a few additions to suit my personal preference. However, I have decided to either convert my existing bike or purchase an off the peg bike and this is where I need your...

    Ok so Motor reliability is questionable on the Kalkhoff range, is there a mid drive that is within my budget and meets my requirements?

    OK, change of plan :p I have been speaking with the Mrs and decided to buy a off the shelf bike. This is partly so the wife can use the eBike when we are out together and she will be able to keep up. I also use my bike it a trainer and so a rear motored solution would not be ideal. So my...

    When I say steep hill, I mean there are two roads off the Island I live on. One is a 2 mile gradual gradient which is a 50 MPH single carriageway, the other is a steeper but shorter single carriageway that has a bend in the middle and is 60 MPH. The last thing you want to be doing on either...

    Hi Dave, Thanks for that, I'm 90 KG's (but I'm working on that lol) and I'm more interested in distance than speed, say around 60 miles, having said that I would want it to at least be able to attain the UK maximum for a Pedelec. ;) Sounds as though a rear hub is the way to go.

    I thanks for the reply but I think the mid drive might be a little overkill for my needs. Where I live, I'm actually below sea level and as a concequence anywhere I want to go is up, It's not that I can't do it on my standard bike but I would be knackered afterwards and this is acting as a...

    I'm in the process of considering entering the world of the eBike or to be more accurate the Pedelec. I recently purchased an ordinary road bike, a Carrera Crossfire 2 and I really like the bike. The problem I have is I don't get a lot of time to get out on the bike and where I live it really...
