I've bought stuff from Aliexpress with no problems. You register with them and give them your credit card details, and they handle the payment to the supplier. It's a bit like their own version of Paypal - secure and reliable. The supplier doesn't get payment until you confirm receipt.

Hi Geebee,

Yes, they will take Paypal just ask for their paypal email address.

It is one of the extra hurdles you encounter when ordering direct from China.
The sellers have the same problems with high fees with their payment systems as we do in the UK, so some only offer Bank transfer etc. to keep the fees down so they can offer great prices but you need to weigh up the risks.

For those interested in technical data, I have just been sent a couple of Power curve graphs for the 36v and 48v motor versions:

I did not go ahead with buying one due to a severe worsening of an existing health issue meaning I can no longer ride an e bike, if my health recovers (took a few years last time) I will be in like Flynn.

shemozzle999, do you reckon it would be easy enough to swap out that thumb throttle for a half twist?

The kit came with spare cable tails for the wiring harness, so yes, that you can terminate your own throttle (3 wire) and brake levers.

That appears to stop almost instantly the "pedaling" stopped, that may remove the need for the brake tapping on shift.

Hi Geebee,

Sorry to hear about your ongoing problems, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Yes, it appears you need less than 1 revolution of the crank to start and stop the motor so the "problem" is minimized.

If used in normal cycling mode I don't think it will cause to much concern and you always have the throttle control option (no pedaling required) in crowded situations.

Apart from terminating the battery leads with a suitable connector only basic tooling is required to fit the kit even a LBS should be able to do this if the user doesn't feel capable of doing it.

The biggest "problem" I see is parting with the money for the kit and the battery:rolleyes:

Does this appear to replace the BB altogether, in what would have to be a custom frame?
Strange spec too 36v, 200w, 150rpm? Low torque too. Sounds v.weak & too fast for crank drive, why bother?
Maybe special purpose.
Cheers, MikeyBikey
