It's close to that. Such a shame about the motors - seems a bit of a minefield - steering clear

20" x 4.25" Kenda Kraze tyres have puncture resistance. Would they be ok in a 20" x 4" rim?? Rad Bikes sell them but they seem rarer than chicken teeth right now: https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/kenda-kraze-20-x-4-25-tire

Saved me some major hassle there thank you 👍

One going for a song locally just wondered if this was possible? Needs a new battery too.

Sorry I should rephrase that... A 48v 750W hub motor and a 48v 17.5Ah battery gives me how many Watts?

So... A 48v 750W hub motor and a 48v 17.5Ah battery gives me what? I'm looking at 20" Fat tyre.. will that help or not?

Fantastic info thank you. I don't understand the figures. I keep rereading them so maybe it'll sink in some time soon 😂 I don't understand the concern of those beaurocrats. Make it law that you can't go at breakneck speeds but let us have enough torque to get up hills for heaven's sake.

Ok.. curve ball time 😁 Looking at second user mid motor ebikes, what power do you think would suit? I'm I correct in assuming lower is possible with mid motors? I'm 260ib, a few shortish steep hills say 12% if I don't stay too far. Annoyingly unavoidable last leg to home. Thanks

I'd just like to say... I have found bikee on dhgate selling for less than half, including shipment, taxes, duty than the importers are charging on Amazon and eBay. Likewise I've found sellers on Alibaba that undercut all local prices after all essentials are costed in.

Hello Eeyore 😁

Interesting, thanks. Interesting to hear a real world experience of steep hill climbing with a rear motor. That Mac 12 is a monster. I've done plenty bike maintenance but I don't fancy it now.

Really? Looks pretty vanilla to me 🤷‍♂️. Not got the specs through yet. Have to wait a few hours for daytime to roll around in China 👍 BTW I'm not sure about style of bike or wheels at all. I've gone from regular commuter - puncture resistant 2" tyres, 26*4" fat bike to 20*4" fat bike for the...

This link opens in a browser: https://m.alibaba.com/product/60727192951/48V-500W-Mid-Drive-Bafang-Motor.html?tracelog=null Updated.. Wrong link!! 🙄

Indeed, and noted. Unfortunately in Europe we have no other option if we want to pay less than several thousand, which I don't want to do. I've never had problems from any Chinese sites, and I use them a lot. Alibaba has more checks than most and with rigerous due diligence I believe it...

Apologies for that. I did think those links looked a bit odd! Thanks for replying anyway What I really want to know is what people think I will need for my situation, motor wise.

Ok 8Fun and Bafang are the same company.. Court did a video on it.. Although I've seen torque sensors paired with the 8Fun so I wonder if it is as sophisticated as other mid drive motors??

I'm not US based so sadly those bikes available in the US are not available to me. I live in hilly Wales, UK. I want a bike for recreational use. There are a couple of short steep hills to home of about 100m length each. I've been researching hard for a month, trying hard not to fall foul of...

The bike that the op linked definitely has a rear hub motor https://m.alibaba.com/product/60718311943/Sataway-high-quality-2018-500-watt.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.45747ceemGOttO&redirect=1

What make is the motor on the Sataway bike? I prefer the integrated battery style but that can be an expensive problem if you need to replace it.

It's usually a plug connector and a couple of address on the handlebar, depending on the model that you get. Plenty instructional videos on YouTube.
