    Bottle battery for BBS02 500w

    It really depends on how fast you are going and if you are going to pedal or not and if you have a lot of up hills in your way or not . But it most likely will . A benefit from a mid drive is that you'll be able to shift gears so you better pedal and assist that motor ! :P

    Bottle battery for BBS02 500w

    hehe alright . What version of battery did you order from Paul ? 8.2 AH or 11.0 AH ? if the 11 then the battery from Aliex will not be much different except Paul's are higher quality . and the battery would work just fine as long as its not 36V or higher than 60v .

    Bottle battery for BBS02 500w

    If I were you , I would forget about both and get this one http://goo.gl/hB1XnP 16.5 AH and combine it with the motor shipping and save some $ . You can also order both motor and battery in a package which will have a reduced total price from here http://goo.gl/WAvgHN ( don't forget to...

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Sweet ride ! not stealthy tho ! you sure need a frame with larger triangle space . that is exactly what I do at high speeds ! I actually had a stupid dream that I hovered off the seat so much that I fell down on my rear wheel with my ass and my skin got off :)) so a new seat here we come ...

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    To be honest that wouldn't be such a upgrade for me except well that the bike would be new and I have plenty of space in the triangle frame on my current bike . I am getting a 48V 500W Bafang mid drive kit so I am not worrying about the wheels :) oh that sucks , so you never got to try the bike...

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Hey Dogman , I guess you are right , I should get a higher handlebar stem because I have to lean too much in order to reach the handlebars in a comfortable position . my current bike's handlebar is not fully straight , it drops a little at the middle . Yes I've thinking about getting a new...

    Yeah I just realized if I wanted to buy either of those , I would end up spending $2700-3000 plus the conversion kit and the shipping costs etc .

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Believe me I do , it took me 3 months to find this bike that I have right now . Most of these sellers here have crappy bikes that been eating dust in the garage for the past 5-10 months .Was wondering if there are any online websites for used bikes that would ship to Canada.

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Oh I see , can I see your build ? I've seen 1-2 nice FS ones too but they never replied so I guess they were sold . Ye I don't feel safe at all riding near the curb side with a car chasing my butt or passing me at high speed , what if i hit a pothole hard and fall down and a car ran over me at...

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Hey Revolved , Yes I am planning to pedal , I am getting a mid drive kit just for that . I cant get a FS unless used , and these used bikes in kijiji/craiglists are over priced and most of them were not taken care of properly and you will end up spending half of the bike's worth money on...

    Going Electric ! Help me choose the right bike !

    Hey Knut , yes my torso and arms are long compared to my height . the frame on the Anyroad bike had a much longer reach and it was surprisingly comfortable. I always wanted to get a full suspension but the good ones aren't cheap and fitting the battery inside the central frame would be another...

    Hard Trail E-bike conversion help ! Warning!! total noob!

    oh great , congratz :) I see,did they both get there at the same time? How long did it take? Cali is about 3500Miles further from Hong Kong to Toronto so maybe the shipping will cost less for me ? :s Not sure if I have to pay taxes for them here in Canada or not .

    Hard Trail E-bike conversion help ! Warning!! total noob!

    Thank you . so the total from EM3ev including the battery would be $1220 , how much does the shipping normally cost with the combined method ? Also I am concerned about the cycle life , the triangle one has only 500-700 but the lifepo has about 3000. Wouldn't I save more in long term ? I have no...
