Tillson, and others, I've had a further think about it and I think you're completely right on the benefits of getting a moped over an ebike. When I thought about it, what I actually wanted was something that would give me freedom, as in the freedom of being able to make trips of any length...

So you didn't have to get new tyres or a new gear system to support the added weight and speed capability? Was this a pretty high end bike before the conversion or just an ordinary mountain bike?

I was looking at direct drive vs geared, and I would like to be able to enjoy freewheeling and as long a range as possible before needing to recharge. In fact range is a high priority for me as I would like to be able to go on adventures and know I can rely on the battery to last me until I get...

Thanks for the replies, yeah I am aware the limit on roads is 15.5mph powered, the bikes I've been looking at have a setting for on road and off road. The reason I say 2000w is simply because I want to be able to go fast when I can

Hi guys, literally only just found out about fast electric bikes when I was looking into getting a moped a few hours ago, anyway I've been reading up on it all since. I don't really need one but they look too cool to pass by (I have always enjoyed cycling). I have a pretty good mountain bike...
