    Wanted: Looking for fast eBike

    I think the fact of the matter paddy112 is that, ignoring the legal implications, that no one will be selling an ebike that's capable of 25mph for 20 miles with no pedalling for £600. Even 2nd hand, you'd be looking at a good £1500 at least. That kit you linked - it's big, it's heavy, it's a...

    Import costs from EM3EV?

    No they don't. If they did, and got caught, the couriers will refuse to accept shipments from them in the future. Every time I've ordered from China in the last 18 months I've had to pay duty - I used to get away with it alot but 18 months ago HMRC deployed extra people into the transit...

    Getting Specialized Turbo in uk

    1: Why would you want to restrict it? Surely the point of it is that it's fast. 2: Carrying on from point 1 - if you want stealthy but legal, there are better options out there for less money.

    Bumping it up

    There are two main ways of increasing speed. If the bikes speed is controlled by a computer (typically the Bosch and Panasonics or even the Bafang BBS units) then you fool the computer. If a bikes speed is simply the rpm of the motor maxing out (typically those bikes using Chinese hub motors...

    Q100CST Problem

    I agree with d8veh - you've got an incorrect combination of phase/hall wires or one of them not connected. Did you just connected yellow > yellow, blue > blue and so on? If so, very rarely do they match up. The only time I've had it so that works is when I ordered a motor and controller from...

    Reality check me, please.

    Don't worry about your weight - you'll be very unlikely to make anything break as all the critical items will likely be over enginered anyway - like the forks, frames, wheels etc. What you might notice is things like wheel bearings need servicing more often, brake pads wear quickly (and the...

    Two-in-one! Off-road and on-road both in one bike!

    Congratualtions of filling a demand in the market. Without rear suspension or hyfraulic brakes, I wouldn't like to do more than 25mph though ;-) Also, I can't seem to see any torque arm on those bikes. Is there one?

    Amigafan2003 new build mk 2

    I redid my battery box today - the wooden one was only ever temporary - found a nice electrinics enlcosure - reinforced it with come left over csrbon fibre sheeting I had lying around and painted it a darker colour to blend in a bit more and added a stencil. The box isn't removable from the...

    Specialist Electric Bike Insurance

    They do - but at £80 a year I'll take my chances and I'll stick with my CTC membership for third party and legal cover.

    E-mopeds,e-scooters,legality?

    SImple answer - they don't really care. The majority of stops are becuase an ANPR has flagged something up. But as there is no number plate, nothing gets flagged up - they don't even notice there isn't a plate!* If it's involved in an accident, then they'll care. If ridden carefully...

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    I'm knocking the selling/building on the head as I'm preparing to start Uni soon. But here's an offer - if you order the parts, get the motor, rim and spokes to me I'll build you the wheel. Then a week later come up one morning with the bike and we'll fit the kit together.

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    It'll be fine if you keep the watts down (so programmable controller needed) to around 600watts or below and a good torque arm used.
