I am fine with my 7ah piece of junk since I never go more then 40km. It's my sister that wants an e-bike so she can accompany her husband "Lance" on his 200k day rides. It looks like if she rides like me she will need 25ah which is expensive and heavy... but she's paying! Thanks everyone.

I average 20km/hr - it's my pedalling speed. I hit the juice on hills and for passing tourists.

I get 40km (24miles) on a 36v 7ah SLA and BL36. Am I efficient? Since the SLA is actually 4ah because of the Peukert effect (ebikes.ca), should I get 3 times this range with a 12ah lithium?

Thanks guys. What is the difference between 24v and 36 v? Speed?

If I can get 40 km pedal assisted out of my 500W motor does this mean I would get 80 km from a 250W motor with the same battery? Thx

The original wheel and hub are gloss and the frame is flat.

Yah, that's what I'm gonna do - paint it myself. I issue is putting it back together!

BTW, I was pedaling as aggressive as possible. The dudes at the bottom warned me it was steep!

It was 45 degrees dirt path - I just got off and the motor is fine. The motor helps even when you are walking it!!!!

It makes this loud noise but the axle is not moving and the wheel is not moving. Happens on steep hills.

Doesn't matter which hub. This is what it looks like now...

My BL36 motor slips sometimes on steep hills and makes an terrible noise. Is the damaging the motor? Thanks.

Do any of the reputable hub motor kit companies make an all black wheel? I need a black rim, spokes and hub - preferably flat black for my Opus Classico (http://opusbike.com/pdf/Classico09.jpg). Thanks.

nutsandvolts: can you recommend a meter please?

Thanks everyone. I found this at Canadian Tire for $13: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Marine/MarineBatteries/PRD~0790319P/Battery%2BMeter.jsp
