    thanks all. Any clues on delivery time scales from BMS/china. Ive heard people waiting over a month. I'd sooner find a uk dealer with stock in house ready to go then wait and save a little money.

    Thanks for that but looking at the systems they work with those bikes are well out of my price range. Or do they work for banfang etc?

    Thanks Rob F looks nice but ive got a budget of £1000 max. Thats pushing it. If I could stretch to that I would consider it. Thanks though. I figure £600-£700 for kit and £300 ish for the bike.
