Cool. I think I should be ok then.

How long is the 19.4% incline?

The hill near my house is very steep I'd say 20 degrees for about 200m. Would this be a cause for concern?

Ok cheers for info

I've heard on this board and several others about controllers being blown due to overheating the motor and topics like that? What does this mean? Do I have to avoid hills, avoid overuse of the throttle or anything else?

I noticed the Bafang has a USB port that can be utilised for devices such as phone chargers and such. What do you use yours for? I was thinking maybe it could be utilised for powering some lights for my bike incase I ever need to travel on darker evenings, could you suggest any lights?

OK will do. Thanks for the help :)

Ah are these a universal type of screw mounts? Do they vary from bike to bike?

eBike kit arrived today. I bought this battery (http://eclipsebikes.com/116ah-lithium-frame-battery-samsung-cells-p-1105.html). It says it can be mounted using a water bottle holder. How exactly does this work? The battery is fairly big and I don't know how it would fit in a water bottle holder...

Looks good too.

I found the Youtube video that convinced me gear changing was automatic. How is this working? Is it just a guy manually changing them I guess?

Cool. Ordered. Thanks.
