Many thanks - will give them a bell near the time. :)

Don't know how to tag on here, but trying to tag whoosh - I'm actually visiting Southend next month for family, was wondering if they had any rear hub bikes to test ride (preferably a swx02 motor as if I didn't go for the YP kits that would be my next go to) as I've never ridden an e bike before...

So having priced it up, with a 15ah battery (seems you have to buy seperate) a 26" rear cassette kit is 225 and the battery is around 220, vs around 390 all in with a 12ah battery. I wouldnt mind paying the extra 55 quid if it was a huge jump in battery life but in real world terms is 12ah...

Tbf I've seen many older bikes (rockhoppers, carreras giant xc bikes etc) at that price point. Can always upgrade later

Yeah I get that. That's a risk I'm willing to take tbf as the cops here don't seem to be as hot on e bikes/scooters as elsewhere in the country. And like you say the risk is small.

Thanks Is there much better out there at a similar price? Bafang or swx02 or? (More expensive but)

Hi all. So last year I was considering an e bike conversion on my old bike but with money tight at the time and bike prices through the roof i sold my bike. Have been toying with the idea of picking up a dirt cheap hybrid / xc bike such as a carrera subway or specialized rockhopper, something...

To be fair i do want to go for a whoosh kit eventually, I just wanted something cheap and cheerful as a gamble to see if I like it and will genuinely use it long term. I'd probably use a kit for 5, 6 months or so and see whether it's something I want to invest in properly. I'd be happy to gamble...

hi all. Got a 26" wheel MTB I was hoping to throw on a cheap front drive conversion kit with display and throttle. Nothing fancy required just looking for the best recommended as cheap as possible. What do people recommend and what should I budget for this? Cheers

Ah okay, so I'm guessing it's a trade for battery life (and range) is it a big improvement over the swx02? I dont really understand the difference apologies

Bump. @Woosh , do you have a link for the DWG22C with the 17a battery? In 700c/29er rim. Had a quick look and cant find it, dont want to mess up

was watching some youtube vids of home made E-bikes and saw this guy's home made bike, and he's now selling it as a kit. Pretty sure its absolutely not road legal, just wondering if anyone here has used/seen one, what they are like, reliability etc...

Ah grand. Any idea of the pricing for that at the moment? I think the swx02 with the 17ah battery was around 580?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Conversion-Wheel-Electric-BAFANG-Display/dp/B07H6FDFG7?th=1&psc=1 Does this kit differ significantly from the woosh swx02 kit? And what was the DWG22C kit you referred to is that a mid drive or a rear hub? Thanks

Just want to double check, this is the bike I've picked up in the end, a 2015 trek xcaliber 9. Will this kit fit? Sorry for N00b

Are the swx02's restricted to 15.5mph though? I'm assuming that A. They can be unrestricted but B. That'll invalidate a warranty.

Just to clarify then; what other options are there besides the swx02 by whoosh and the q128c for rear hub motors? The whoosh kit looks good but I would ideally like something a little more powerful like a 500w or something. I may still end up opting for the whoosh kit I'd just like to know what...

Aye that's why I wanted to double check if those particular models had been converted previously to ensure there was enough clearance etc. Thanks mate.
