    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I use an old motorcycle neck gator I've had for years, that tucks into the collar and can be pulled up over the face. I use it skiing and all kinds. One of the best bits of kit I've ever bought. So simple yet so effective. Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality...

    I'm pretty sure the cells inside are Samsung pinkies, ICR-26F, poss. ICR-26H. Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even click 'like'!

    New ebiker for seafront daily commute

    I think you're bang on the right track with adding the electric assist. I did the Worthing/Brighton run daily both with and without assist for several winter months; without can certainly be made nearly impossible on bad days when the winds are up. Basin Road South, urgh! I went from hating the...

    New 2017 GNG Ultralight mid-drive kit.

    Jeepers! That doesn't account for any import duty either. Even if undervalued and marked gift, it's going to increase the price. I'm keeping an eye out for video / impartial reviews before even thinking of checking one out. So please post here if anybody sees one. Tar. Sent using this crappy...

    New 2017 GNG Ultralight mid-drive kit.

    Maybe it is an awesome little kit then? They do state that assist levels 1 and 2 are barely audible, 3 to 5 can be heard but are minimal. Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even click 'like'!

    New 2017 GNG Ultralight mid-drive kit.

    The word 'potential' is good and I think apt. here. It states 'high torque' but provides no stats... Odd? Surely they'd shout about the amount they've managed to squeeze out of such a small, low powered unit if it was exciting amounts? I shan't be ordering one, no. However, if YOU do Kirstin...

    Not an E-bike, but could make an ideal companion for one?

    Unless of course yours had the dirty washing in and theirs was full of beer and wine. [emoji3] Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even click 'like'!

    From Piaggio, makers of the Vespa scooter. It would be my preference over a trailer ;)

    Help with motor choice for KMX Cobra

    Why not go with bbshd again? Hub choice? ..be prepared to do rolling burnouts! Here's one with a BBS01B. Battery mounting is likely biggest consideration. Where did you plan to mount all that battery power? Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even...

    Mounting plate for HL battery?

    This is a spare I've been keeping in case mine got damaged, came with second battery. Open to a sensible offer if you're really stuck :) Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even click 'like'!

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    You're quite right Recy, I think above 44T it could bog the motor down a bit on some of the hills around here. It gives much better gearing, the 38T spun out far too easily. Fast pedal downhill delivered 31/32 mph. I haven't looked for suitable lights yet, but will probably look to fit some...

    Trying a 44 tooth on the max at the mo. Suits me better being slightly higher geared. Sent using this crappy tapatalk app. that has such poor functionality I can't even click 'like'!

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    It's the usual USB to green Higo Bafang prog. cable. Same used for the BBSxx controllers. Although I did manage to break the white wire's connection to the USB earlier, that was a fiddly solder for a Sunday morning head! :confused:

    Haha! I'm still very much in beta testing on the max drive programming my end, but for my taste it's improved from the stock settings already with just a few basic adjustments. - Slowly slowly catchee monkey. I've got a very nice new 'tigershark' 48V 14Ah (Panasonics) with 30A max. under...
