A year or so ago I bought a whoosh bike XF08C rear hub e-bike kit. I have mechanical dyslexia so decided to enlist the help of a local bike shop to attach it to my bike. They managed to do it but mentioned that they had to stretch the rear forks/ frame to fit the wheel on. I rode the bike for...

ok thanks

Hi, so the charger was already plugged into the wall and on before I plugged the 5.5mm jack into the battery but it still sparked.

Hi whoosh, I went for a ride in the rain last week (which I thought should be ok with the e-bike kit) and my kit suddenly switched off, I assumed this was due to the battery being low (hadn't checked the level in a while). I left it over the weekend and went to charge and noticed the light on...

Hi Whoosh, So I just took the e-city bike (top of thread) for a test ride and it was a lot of fun. I realised I would prefer to buy a candence sensor kit than a torque sensor kit, so it looks like the XF08C Rear Hub Kit would be best for me. A few questions though if you don't mind... My frame...

So I'm interested in these kits but I'm wondering if it would be suitable for my bike as my current bike has 3 chainrings on the crank set (if that's the correct vocab), therefore would your geared hub motors not be better? Not exactly sure the benefits of getting a torque sensor kit. The...

thanks for the speedy reply, I will look into those

Hi, so charateristics would be... Maximum torque: I couldn't say, but if it helps I just rode a Raleigh Array prebuilt and the toque was good enough. I'll be riding up a few hills but not excessively so. Cassette for freewheel: 8 speed Budget: I have 1000 pounds but would like to spend a lot...

Thanks for the detailed reply, so would you recommend any kits in the 250W to 500W range?

Ah ok, well above 15.5mph would be a nice to have but not essential. Typically does going from 250W to 500W add a lot of weight to a kit?

Thanks for the replies guys... So my performance requirements are... Probably 250W power (would be nice to have potential to upgrade to 500W if i find it's too low without buying a whole new kit) Won't be tackling too many hills, mostly flat. Longer distance massive advantage but for now 30ish...

I recently bought a bike from a local shop which I really love, it's comfy and a joy to ride. see https://www.bristolbicycles.co.uk/product/hybrid-bike/ So the same company also makes e-bikes. https://www.bristolbicycles.co.uk/product/e-city/ After a recent illness and sharp decline in energy...
