    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Thanks, but will be happy to fix everything on this bike for starters. Battery holding full charge at 45.5 volts so far. Lots to read about testing and possible repair of bike in general. I will go searching on here, but if anyone sees this post - I am looking to overhaul the Bafang motor...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    I have today, bitten the bullet and bought a rather well used Oxygen S cross MTB just to get me started. It has as std a Bafang 250W rear wheel drive and a Dorado type 36v/13.5 Ah battery. It might be a whole waste of time and money but busy refurbing and cleaning and might turn out ok.

    Difference Between Currie eZip and IZIP Electric Bikes

    Very interesting Court but i've run into something that is confusing as a result in that i'm looking to buy what is described as an "IZIP" but what the picture shows is an "eZIP" according to your write up. EDIT - just to confirm Court, it looks like it's simply the other way round:- IZIP...

    I do like the look of that Mike, it's not yours though? - would love to read more about that as it looks like simplicity itself as far as the mechanical drive goes.

    Many Thanks for your replies, and thank you for your specific reply DiggyGun. I am happy with no immediate acceleration as am a non-powered cyclist for about 30 years and happy to go 70 miles if my health is up to it. I take onboard what several are saying re: buying a "turn key" Ebike, and i'm...

    Further to this, the longer I wait the clearer my focus on the route I will go re: set-up, and also the greater range of available products which have yet to increase much in price in the UK so far. I notice that an option for a totally "freewheel" rear wheel drive is being talked about for...

    I was struggling to find a suitable picture, maybe the wrong one for an E-bike Forum. I don't know the model of Ducati that you mentioned, Suzuki should be proud of their gearboxes, certainly superior to the majority from Italy.

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Thank you Stefan, i've seen that you post regularly, and your opinion will help me decide finally. It will take a long time to wade through all the different bikes and specifications, and I am guessing that the best choice of bike might be specific to each country to some extent, let alone all...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    I do genuinely appreciate your expertise and comment on the free-wheeling ability of mid-mount versus rear wheel drive, thank you, but re: "red bike" comment i would stick to advising on E-bikes if i were you. ;) oh, and i've just come in from a non-powered cycle ride, where i regularly achieved...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Thanks for reply ZZ, I will be sticking to flat terrain. Re: breakdowns, I did add "broken" so covered myself ;) and certainly at home with many 2 wheel breakdowns by now, but not of the flat battery kind, hence my interest. I would be interested to hear how many miles your Voilamart conversion...

    I haven't read whole thread but a big plus for the Suntour NCX. The price was a factor and here in the UK it has almost doubled in less than 3 years but it's a well-made unit and i have covered several thousand miles on mine without any problems. I've used it in all weathers and no signs of...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Hi All I, i'm guessing like hundreds of others, have been "hovering" for over a year now, taking ages in deciding which is the best way to go. My main excuse is that I fear that my chosen E-bike might not get the use that my non-powered currently gets. and i'm only really considering this route...
