Hey you lot look what i did. Months ago i bought a Daimondback Mountainbike, and last week i bought a 250w Bafang kit with an 11.6 ah samsung battery from Brighton Ebikes . http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/ It's just great i can't stop riding it, i only use the car to go to work now and use...

What i really want is a 250w front hub, and an lcd that will let me turn up the max speed above 15mph when i am on private land. The Cyclotricity kit looks grat but the speed cant be turned up? Can anyone give me some idea of good wheel , controller and lcd manufacturers? i was told bafang...

Hello? is anybody there?

Hi everyone. I was looking at the 500w conversion kit from cyclotricity, it seems great as it can be switched from legal 250w 15mph to unrestricted 500w. I have been reading and learning about the drag caused by these larger 500w hub motors when cycling without the motor on. Is this drag...

Your bike looks great, not motorbike like at all, looks just like a mountainbike. Where is the battery? I see you have one of these crank type motors, are they better than hub motors in some way? Where do you get them?

And when you ride that fast what happens if someone throws a stick in your spokes?

the Cyclotricity kits do limit the speed to 15.5mph, unless you unrestrict them using a code they can give you, i know its boring but i just want my old mountainbike to go at 15mph and get me places and be legal. I think your bikes great, i've ridden motocross bikes and love speed but now I...

I think these bikes are great but i'm sure that if you crash into something and cause some damage the Traffic Police would be very interested. It would be just my luck to crash into a policecar. From what i can see the Cyclotricity 250w kit is restricted to 15mph and 250w so that should be...

Wow, how many watts is the bafang? They're really just motorbikes with pedals arn't they with that much power and doing those speeds. If there were no police i'd build a fast one, but i need my driving licence so i'm sticking with building a road legal 250w bike for now.

That's a girls bike!

oh yes i forgot about crank drives, i have seen them, what are they like compared to direct or geared hub motors? Which are most efficient, least noisy, etc? Why do you say forget geared?

Hi i was wondering if someone could give me some advice about the motors used on the ebikes. I am converting my mountain bike and I have read that there are two types of motor used, Geared and Direct drive. I understand that the direct drive motor causes resistance when the motor is switched...

Thanks chaps i'm a bit clearer now.. I think i'm going to go for a 250w rear motor with a 10ah battery, and an lcd that lets you program the max assisted speed limit to 15 mph, from what you said this sounds legal. I had a go on a friends GTECK bike and was so impressed ive decided to convert...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I know the legal power limit is 250w, what i am trying to find out is if the cyclotricity 500w kit is legal to ride on the road when it is in its restricted mode ( 250w ). Is it the motor size or the power applied to it that must not exceed 250w? I have emailed...

I've been reading this topic with interest as i am considering fitting a cyclotricity kit to my mountain bike. Could you tell me, the 500w kit in its restricted mode is it legal to drive on the UK roads? i would like to be able to use it on the road restricted and offroad unrestricted too. Paul
