If I angle it correctly no, it just gives me enough of a glimpse behind before I have a proper shufti over my shoulder.Does your leg not get in the way of seeing traffic with that little mirror on your fork?

Don't buy it, it's direct drive.Hey dudes! I managed to find a nice deal on a Cyclotricity for 1000w for less than the kit! Looking to close the deal, I know the bike is 24kg but has anyone ridden the Stealth with the PAS alone?Given the weight, i may struggle but it's an excellent price for a clearly decent ebike.
Really? Damn the price is great and it's been upgraded... I've rad a few reviews which are great but i also read about the issues people have had here.Don't buy it, it's direct drive.
That's what I was curious about with the weight...Would I need to use PAS/throttle all the time? Cause i couldn't deal with a 26kg bike...Direct drive motors are not very good climbers and add considerable resistance when turned off.
Yeah, i'm not confident enough to fit one of those kits. At least the cyclo kits are relatively simple which is why I was considering the kit. I mean the Stealth has everything; disc brakes etc. It's a much better bike than my Kona for less than the price of a kit so...Geared drives will be equally better as you don't have to throw larger amps or batteries at them for a lighter kit.
Kit wise although a freewheel one is the 48v Bafang one from Woosh, will give good speed if required and good torrque less can be more when you compare geared hubs and D/D hubs.
Or if you are able to get to Southend let Woosh fit the kit for a modest fee.
That's the point its dual motor, I'd be using the 250w to commute, the 1000w for off-road or as and when, I know it's gonna be hard not to run in 1000wThe 1000w Cyclotricity is not bad regarding power. At low speed, its similar to a 250w geared motor, but when the speed increases, the power does too, where it will blitz the hub motor.
The main drawbacks are that you can't really pedal them when the power runs out, and the motors are pretty inefficient at low speed, so range is pretty low - typically around 12 miles with the 11.6Ah battery (or whatever Ah it is).
