LONDON UK COLLECTION -

I am selling my eBike, built only 3 months ago after a long summer project completing.
Top speed is 31mph, decent acceleration. This is at factory settings so field weakening and a higher amperage can push this faster.

Full info below also in PDF format attached.

EBIKE COMPONENTS – This is a top of the line kit from a Canadian company called Grin Technologies which designs and manufactures the best eBike components in the world. Do some research and you’ll agree with this.
• The motor is a RH212 Direct Drive motor which has been configured to provide motor assisted breaking (brake applies a reverse motor force) to increase braking performance and reduce brake wear.
• The 52V 20Ah battery uses high quality Samsung 35e cells that hold their charge very well.
• The kit also includes a Grin Satiator Charger which allows for Slow charging to greatly extend battery life.
• The controller is a recently released V5 Baserunner which cleverly integrates into the battery casing (no wires everywhere!).
• I have also integrated most of the wires through the frame so there are no running wires from back to front.
• There is also a Cycle Analyst V3 providing stats on Speed, trip distance etc.
• There is also an auxiliary/power switch on the handlebar for power on/off and other custom controls for the Cycle Analyst
• Front and Back lights are both connected to main battery and cable.
• There is also a front light control to easily control between on/off/low brightness/high brightness
• Two Grin V4 Torque arms are used for safety reasons.


RH212 Ready-to-Roll Kit - https://ebikes.ca/rh212-ready-to-roll-kit.html - RRP $2,302.00 (excl Shipping which was another $200.48) –

• MOTOR - RH212_Std Rear (injected with Statorade for increased cooling performance) (https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/motors/rh212-std.html)
• BATTERY - 52V 20 Ah Downtube Battery with Samsung35e Cells, 40A BMS, 3 pin ST Charge Port. (https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/batteries/52v-20ah-downtube-battery.html)
• BATTERY MOUNT - Grin Triple Bob Battery Mount (https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-products/battery-anchors.html)
• BATTERY CHARGER - Satiator Charger with ST3 Adapter Included (https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-products/cycle-satiator.html)
• CONTROLLER – V5 Baserunner_L10 Controller (https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/controllers/baserunner-l10-motor-controller.html)
• V3 Cycle Analyst (https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/cycle-analysts/ca3-wp-nosw.html)
• Grin TorqArm_V4 x2 (Left and Right) https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/torque-arms/torqarm-v4.html
• Electric Bike Right Hand Half Twist Throttle Ebike Scooter (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272683511539). I only used the throttle from this.

BIKE SECURITY -
I have added Pitlock Security skewers into the front wheel and also Hexlok security nuts to prevent any parts from being stolen whilst locked up. I recommend pairing this with a good D Lock such as Hiplok D1000 (not included). The rear wheel has two torque arms with a total of 6 hoseclamps which is a very good theft deterrent. I recommend locking up the back wheel through for extra security.
I also have a Pragmasis Protector 16mm Boron Steel Chain 2.5m length (w/ Noose) and Squire SS65CS lock Combo for an extra cost. The chain is used by the MoD so pretty serious metal – RRP £289.95

All of the above items will still be in warranty so I can forward receipts for safe keeping.
Please let me know if you would like photos of specific areas or have any queries 😊
Please also note if you would like to test ride the bike, you must bank transfer the amount beforehand, for obvious reasons!
Please no low-ball offers. I spent good time and money on getting this completed.

Collection in London (UK) & Bank transfer only.
