    Forum members who perform e-bikes conversions for a fee?

    Tell her you'll only keep your bikes outside if she install a couple of these:- http://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-cycle-storage/insurance-approved-metal-bike-shed I have one in the front garden - it's been had a go at a couple of times but it's resisted all attacks so far. I've also installed a...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Great day up in the Lakes today exploring the routes around Grizedale. https://www.strava.com/activities/740462792 I was with a group, so don't expect setting the Strava segments alight. Only crashed once as well! Bike performed flawlessly, although I did seem to have the forks/rear...

    700c Q100-CST rear conversion with Cycle Analyst and EM3EV controller (lipo battery pack also avail)

    I've found a courier that will take the lipo pack if they are split into two sets of three. It will be £10 for each battery and £25 for the wheel + other bits - so £45 in total. Happy to meet half way on postage if that's acceptable.

    700c Q100-CST rear conversion with Cycle Analyst and EM3EV controller (lipo battery pack also avail)

    I have posted a wheel before - it might take me some time to find some suitable packaging. For the battery - I'm not aware of any courier that would take it. Perfectly happy if you want to arrange your own courier though - I can make myself available almost any day to hand the package over. I...

    700c Q100-CST rear conversion with Cycle Analyst and EM3EV controller (lipo battery pack also avail)

    Prices updated:- £230 for wheel/hub + controller + CA V2.3. £130 for lipo pack. £350 for kit + battery. I don't want to go any lower - if they don't go for that then I'll just put it on another bike.

    700c Q100-CST rear conversion with Cycle Analyst and EM3EV controller (lipo battery pack also avail)

    I've put a BBS02 crank drive on it instead. I like changing things - I think the building is as fun as the riding. I think this is the 5th motor this bike has had on it now.

    Dropper posts..

    I managed fine in the 80's as well, I'm just 30% faster on the same routes now - that's down to tech like dropper posts - not me being fitter or anything ;-)

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Well, I'm still trying to find local off road routes, so I thought I'd give the Preston Guild Wheel a go for the first time:- https://www.strava.com/activities/712982247/overview Time lapse of the route:- Really enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's really off road - it's probably 50% tarmac...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Just a small ride this am (with only one wrong turn) - mostly on lanes but a couple of nice off road bits - a circuit round Beacon Fell and a downhill down Nicky Nook. https://www.strava.com/activities/702409863?fb_action_ids=10210849052801131&fb_action_types=stravainc%3Arecord There is a...

    You're missing out. They are a great source of cheap energy.

    The dangers of buying electric bikes with custom batteries

    My bike doesn't have suspension. It doesn't look like he's built it to make a profit - it looks like someone who has recently got into ebikes selling their first conversion and now looking to move onto another build. Good luck to him I say.

    The dangers of buying electric bikes with custom batteries

    I agree the brakes are bad and not something I'd use but:- is definitely an overeaction.

    The dangers of buying electric bikes with custom batteries

    It's an ebay sale of a USED bike. It's not like he's trying to pass himself off as a reputable retailer selling high end ebikes. I think you're all over reacting. Advert says buyer will need their own charger. That's a good thing imho as it necessitates the buyer being conversant with how...

    A 30mph crash fatality in something not tested or safe..

    Bloomin' hell - is this tired old argument still going on? It's the reason I left Pedelecs a while ago and moved over to ES - much more enlightened over there. It would leave Pedelecs exactly where they currently are, because the accident would involve an unregistered motor vehicle, not a...

    ebike mid-drive kit without throttle?

    What's wrong with fitting the throttle but simply you not using it?

    How on earth does he get away with this?

    I'm thinking about building up a bike using the frame from em3EV:- http://em3ev.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=47_54&product_id=211 On topic - I know the rider in that video well as we live pretty close. We've had great fun trolling all the Strava users in our kneck of the...
