I fitted a DeWalt tstax box to rack which I can now clip more boxes on. Just could not carry enough stuff in the original bag. It should be waterproof and I can lock it if required. Helmit fits in. Some may think it looks daft but I don't care. I need to carry stuff. Probably will only ever...

Sorry @saneagle I'm not using the correct words to to discribe a hub motor. Was a 800w hub motor posted here and I thought yeah. That will do nicely. Not sure what I'm trying to achieve tbh. Value for money and build a wheel myself for the fun I guess.

I've bought the 250w yose power in march 2023 and I fiddled in the hidden menu following YouTube video. Increased the max speed to 30mph ( never going to get that) and i get 17.5mph in the real world with a full battery. I think the 350w will get a little past 20mph but not so good on hills. I...

I've seen some nice motor cassettes for wheels and I guess you build your own wheel from them? Not seen any rims for sale yet. How difficult is it to build a wheel and is it a good option? I'm thinking about having ago for interest.

I love to strap a 1000w hub with a 52 volt battery on my bike and tow a bike trailer. Tomorrow I'll have my rear rack bag full. IKEA bag full of dust sheets over my shoulder plus ruck sack bag full of tools and my lunch. It's a Monday so I can add a bit more leg power on my commute to work along...

What is the difference between Bafang G.010.250.DC and the LG.020.500.DC Are they different internally? I'm thinking of getting the 250w and running 48v through it.

I've got 4Ah

They einhell batteries have great protection inside having watched a breakdown on YouTube, although I can't say I fully understand it. I've got 5 batteries here I could use. 4 we would be enough I guess.. I'm thinking about it

On the subject of power tool batteries. Power tool battery connectors could be used? I have einhell ones I use for lights. Thinking I could use for bike Here is DeWalt...

Oh. I guess as they are heavy. Times that by 3 as well and I can see it being a problem.

Stick 3 in a rack box. If they last for 5 miles it would be fine.

Could I use 3 old 12 volt lead gel batteries to power hub motor? I can get plenty of batteries off a mate. Was thinking it would be fine for local pleasure rides on my backups bike.

@saneagle Bought lights. Thanks

I'm staring to think about lights and how to power them. Front lights is easy but rear red lights are a a tad more tricky for many reasons.

Thanks everyone. Great advice as always

Yeah. 250w on a 48v battery. I'll study the woosh options but I'm tempted to buy it all separate. How locked are the woosh controllers?. I've fiddled with my yose kit settings and happy we with it, although riding in a headwind while it was lashing down i was struggling and decided I needed a...

Interesting. I'm looking at 500w as I have a 250w yose kit for commuting which is great.

I would like a bafang rear hub with a 48v battery. Looks like the best way to get one is to buy motor and controller off Amazon, then buy a battery separately from somewhere like greenlance. Looking at it I should get a kit for around £500. Is that how most get a kit?

Omg. Just seen a teenager going racing by on our estate with a petrol engine on a mountain bike. No helmit and no consideration for speed or the noise. Quick Google...

Update I bought the specialised hardrock second hand. So aluminium frame. Thinking about which kit to put on now. Rear hub or I'm interested in a centre drive. Just for the interest and to see how it fits and rides, but will probably get rear hub. I'll sleep on it I'm surprised how light it...
