    Some help needed before buying a electric bike

    I would check out juicy bikes if I was you for the sort of money you want to spend you could have hydrolic brakes and a bigger battery at juicy for the same as those other two .

    ebikes on a roll

    I read this forum on a regular basis and find it hilarious that people even bother to debate the rise and fall in popularity of electric bikes it is obvious that they are about three times too expensive and as far as i can see the trend is to make that even worse . Things are not getting better...

    Can you derestrict or fit an off road button to a kudos bike??

    I have looked into derestricting my current bike but as there is no chance of a wiring diagram ,the only method I can find is to take out the little magnetic sensor inside the hub motor or cut the wires , not exactly sure but it doesn't matter as there is no way I would try to take the hub motor...

    Can you derestrict or fit an off road button to a kudos bike??

    I have a cheap china bike at the moment restricted to 15.8 mph but I find this very anoying . I plan on getting a decent electric bike to replace my current one and the kudos city looks ideal for me. I swore after the first three months of comuting on my exsisting bike that I would not bother...

    where to get 12v 8ah 5hr sla batterys

    Thanks for reply it I am a bit new to all this I don't mind soldering etc and I could forgo the proper batter box to get better power but on my bike there is no place but under the seat for a battery. How would I know if the battery would be suitable ie hi peak etc .

    where to get 12v 8ah 5hr sla batterys

    Does anybody know if these would be ok as a replacment I would have to modify the battery box but there is plenty of height since i have the seat as high as it will go anyway.? SLA12V9AH They do the 12v 7.5 ah but they are the same size so might as well go bigger capacity.

    where to get 12v 8ah 5hr sla batterys

    I have finally got an electric bike it's not what i wanted but it was brand new for £200 unfortunatley the battery seems to only give around 5 miles on flatish ground before it starts to pulse and only gives enough power for around 7.5 mph . The old gentelman that I bought it off had not even...

    Been on a few test rides this is what I think.

    I have taken all the previous comments into consideration and have spent allot of time looking into the kalkoff range as well as talking to tim at 50 cycles and decided that one would proberbly be the right way for me to go but I would have to go the 0% pay in 12 months and work out a budget to...

    Been on a few test rides this is what I think.

    Excuse me if I am wrong but isn't the oxygen just the whispa 905 painted white with a better battery for a lower price, so from my point of view it comes with touring bike style but all the dissadvantages of a mountain bike like the 905 ie small frame and low handle bars . Still looks like a...

    Been on a few test rides this is what I think.

    Thanks for the heads up at 50 cycles but I am still under the impression that a kaklhof is the german version of a raliegh and as such did not have the imiediate wow factor of the hub bikes , Before I rode any of the bikes just from my reaserch I had convinved myself that crank drive would...

    Been on a few test rides this is what I think.

    It was the 706 i rode but that is just the step through version of the 906 I think . I would have liked it if I had fitted some of the small frame bikes as if I have to stay at the cheap end of the market it looks like that is what I would have to go with anyway . I thought the kalkoff bikes...
