    Rear hub motor off roading- is it waterproof?

    Cheers lads Was just worried after a freshly built bike I'd take it to its first off road adventure and come back needing a new rear hub motor. I'm not talking about going through huge puddles and jumping off cliffs but didn't want to get to a muddy section and have to get off and walk round...

    Have found a massive bargain. What you think UK members?

    In the UK things get very expensive. You guys in the US get all the better deals I'm reluctant but then I'm thinking go for it. It's the cheapest I've found but a long shot. Says motor efficiency is 80% seems a lot lower than other sites. Will that be a problem?

    Help me choose my first 1500watt kit please

    A seller from theebikemotor.com has confirmed his 1500 watt kit has the option of having a 48v or 72v brushless hub motor. I have asked if his 35-40amp 18 mosfet will allow a 72v power supply so just waiting on his confirmation Somehow got to get a 72v 20ah battery as he said that's the...

    Cheap lipo power, range not a huge problem

    Have just found these 2 of them be enough juice for few miles. Then at later date buy another 2 so I have 4 all together. It says 13000mah so is that 13ah? So 4 would be 12s26ah with a 35amp discharge or is that then 70 as it's doubled? Or are those battery specs a little bit boasted? Cheers

    Cheap lipo power, range not a huge problem

    That is very true. Am swinging to towards mounting on a 26" wheel mtb. Top end would be better than the 20" bmx Thinking with the above 1500 watt kit and 35-40a controller I could use two of these to power it Would that be enough power at an average of 20 mph with few blasts of full throttle...

    Cheap lipo power, range not a huge problem

    Lol I guess 40mph would be scary as hell to be fair. Any recommendations on a 48v kit? Have found a 1500w 48 v kit with a better controller Stopping wise would be v brakes for now. I don't have disc brake mounts It was more the fun factor than commuting etc but agree I will need to stop!! I...

    Cheap lipo power, range not a huge problem

    Hi buddy thanks for the reply again 40mph would be top speed. Cruising would probably be 20 or less. So a 1000 watt 48 volt kit running the two mentioned lipos above would work OK.? I doubt I'll ever need 40mph but would love to have that option You don't need a Ferrari living in London...

    Cheap lipo power, range not a huge problem

    OK so can anyone recommend a kit that isn't going to cost the earth that will deliver to the UK that I can power by lipos. Huge range isn't a problem Found some 3000watt bike kits on eBay that claim they have 24moz in controller and will take up to 96 volts I'll put link here I think 40mph...
