    As I cycle through central london I often have to stop abruptly and a few times I have found myself in the wrong gear and struggled to get the bike moving without some heavy gear crunching

    Gear hub for Bafang bbs01 mid drive kit

    What options are there to replace the derailleur with a gear hub to go with a bafang bbs01 250w mid drive kit? Are they easy to install and are there any options to allow gear changes whilst stationary. At the moment i am always in the wrong gear at traffic lights.

    Bafang BBS01 Motor only

    My bafang bbs01 motor has developed a loud rattling noise which occurs even more when the throttle is used. I don't feel too confident about opening up the motor and was thinking of replacing just the motor unit. Are you able to buy just the motor as all I can see for sale at conversion kits.

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    I have used mapmyride on some of my journeys and actually my average speed over the distance is actually much lower than I expected, around 12mph. I am also noticing my battery range depleting more and more so feel it is getting very close to needing a new bike. I had considered a kit but a bit...

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    I was looking for the conversion as I tend to put my rucksack on the panier and have got quite use to the step through bike so when I look a the Oxygen I struggle to come off the bike when the rucksack is at the back. So I was looking to put the battery on the pannier rack and maybe fit to a...

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    Have been looking at the Oxygen Emate MTB and the Cyclotricity Revolver and also looking at the oxydrive conversion kit and bafang bbs01 as I have a mtb sitting in my garage spare. Price wise the conversion kit is looking ideal but would it be better to get the complete bikes instead. What...

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    Yes I definitely want to try and pedal beyond when the bike cuts off which does feel like cycling through water past 15.5 mph. I just feel that I could cycle a bit faster if the bike would let me which is frustrating when so many cyclists are overtaking me each morning. The bike does need...

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    Thanks for suggestions. So would a hub motor be better than a crank drive motor if I wanted to take the bike beyond its 15 mph range. One issue I don't like with my current ebike is that when I start pedalling the power is delivered as one and takes the bike straight to 15mph if it is on a...

    Replace existing ebike for London commute

    I currently have a Freego Eagle which I use to commute into London every day which is a 30 mile round trip. The bike has served me well but I would like to be able to go a bit faster. I currently average around 17-18 mph. I also have a few hills to negotiate so would want a bit more torque...
