I found the gears easier than my old bike. Much prefer just having the 8 on one shift, and they are all really smooth.

The BBSHD motor is waterproofed for normal UK use. In other words they are fine with rain, frost, snow and mud. However it is not designed to be submerged in water. The compact motor fits subtly in front of your pedals and delivers powerful torque, high efficiency, and low noise. For installation details, consult our fitting guide. No – the Bafang BBS01B 250W 36V Mid Drive Electric Bike Motor is designed for a 36V battery. Will this motor fit my bike? No matter if you are pedalling or using the throttle, the assistance level sets the top speed. I was able to get up to a little above 25mph at the max assistance level but I find that speed somewhat unpleasant to cruise at. You could pedal a bit and let off, allowing your speed to go up and down as you feel comfortable, or just drop down to the second or third assistance level. If you hit the brakes the motor will shut off rather than attempt to fight the brakes. Month Warranty is for manufacturing defaults and does not over miss use or accidental damage - Please keep this in mind if you live far away from our Guildford workshop.

Which battery?

Despite the fact that marketers are actively killing this wheel format and perhaps, there are no normal new bicycles with this size of wheels now in the market. I also needed to put my 150 watts in my legs somewhere 😉 and I decided to take the version of 750 watts. This is a certain optimum in terms of power/weight/price. The alternative is a system like the Rubbee that drives your wheel by pushing on the tire. Tire wear can be an issue here though. Now the total bike clearance is 24 cm on the rubber 26 “Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.25” pressure 1 bar. How much does a electric bike weight?

The battery mounts to the handlebars and we found that a really useful detail. It is easy to disconnect and take it away for storage, so it doesn't get stolen when you are out and about, or to lighten the bike when, for example, it needs to be carried up a flight of stairs.This is hard to answer specifically as electric bikes are, on the whole, designed to assist pedalling rather than replace it, and it is the same with electric bike conversion kits. The measurement of the power of the motors is in wattage and, in effect, the higher the wattage of the motor, the faster speeds it will be capable of achieving. Short press – switching the data of the bike computer (mileage, travel time, average speed, maximum speed, etc.). Don’t use a throttle. A throttle is okay to use when you’re already riding along at a few miles an hour. But treating it like an electric moped and using the throttle constantly without pedalling will lead to problems. If you are riding off-road, regularly riding up steep hills or towing a trailer, a smaller chainring the better. If you are looking for better top speed, then you will want a larger chainring.
