    Are e-bikes with an off-road switch legal to ride on UK roads under 15.5mph?

    In a good way? You mean with a pedestrian? I wont be on any pavements etc so hopefully unlikely. With a car Id like to think the default wasn't that it was my fault, im still slower and bit more fragile that them lol

    Are e-bikes with an off-road switch legal to ride on UK roads under 15.5mph?

    So ive been thinking about this a lot too and morality/legality aside I have a few questions: Someone cant tell the wattage of a motor just by looking at it right? Are we saying the police would have to take it apart to tell? Even 250w ebikes have to be restricted so a restriction on a more...

    Ebay seller ' Electric Bike Conversions ' seem to be doing well :)

    Seems bit low, what size is the battery? Conflicting reports worrying, responded fast to my sales inquiry though. Still thinking about their main 500w bike but £730 is a lot to send to an "unknown" company

    Ebay seller ' Electric Bike Conversions ' seem to be doing well :)

    Has anyone bought one of their full bikes yet? Im taking a serious look at their 500w mountain bike http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dynamic-MTX650-Superior-500w-Superfast-New-Electric-Mountain-Bike-/111807692662?hash=item1a0841ff76:g:2OAAAOSw9N1Vu5xh Looks like good value, decent size battery too.

    250w vs 500w

    Cool, thanks for the recommendation! Did you need to buy the lcd/Led monitor to de-restrict it?

    250w vs 500w

    Id say around £700 total I see cyclotricity do a 250 kit for around £200, wonder if it can be de-restricted? I know they do it for their 500 duel.

    250w vs 500w

    hmm wasnt aware I needed to be looking at torque, what should I be looking for? (not all items list it). Is it a big deal?

    250w vs 500w

    Haven't bought a battery yet, but standard 36v - 10ah should do the job?

    250w vs 500w

    Yes I think ill be getting a DD. The bpm 250 looks out of my price range tbh. Was looking at this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26-Ebike-Cycling-Electric-Bicycle-Conversion-Kit-250W-36V-Hub-Motor-Front-Wheel-/400504711080?hash=item5d3ff0e7a8:g:YxUAAOSwd4tT8c3i . Good price at £130 but says...

    250w vs 500w

    Was thinking that myself, there are 1000w FWD kits on ebay, surely the front wheel will be mostly spinning on the ground with that kind of power?

    250w vs 500w

    Was originally thinking about a cyclotricity but they have a wait time till after xmas. Now im thinking a front wheel drive kit off ebay (cant face RWD complexity) / 10ah bottle battery / and cheap(ish) mountain bike from halfords. Looking at around £500 so far which seems like a bargain, or...

    250w vs 500w

    Hi, ebike newbie here and legalities aside im torn beside a 250w and 500w motor. Originally the 500 appealed for the extra speed/power but as I was driving the car at 20 yesterday I thought "I really dont need to be doing any more than 20mph on a bicycle", ill be using it for a 16 mile round...
