Anyone got an electric bike?

[york away to this!]

I've got 256 slightly damaged mobikes in the garage, is there a handy conversion kit?

Use a Carrera ebike to get to work on,got it through the cycle to work scheme and done over 4k miles in a year.As others have said,you still have to put a shift in as the motor cuts out at 15 mph but is good for any hills.Gets me home quicker than the car when the traffic is shite too.

Electric bike?
I bought an automatic car once. First thing the old fellow came out with, God rest him, was "lazy man's car"!

Ah but with an e-bike yer still have to pedal. It's not a moped, or a no-ped for that matter!

I believe moving the magnet and sensor from back wheel to front cog tricks module into believing you haven't hit 15mph and can go up to 30mph on 250 watt motor

Ah,good tip,although I've a different bike now which has a speedy box kit fitted inside of the bosch motor that does the trick.

I've seen a good few bikes lately that have been whizzing by at more than 15mph and a good few who are whizzing by at more than 15mph without pedalling.

I have one..I live on the side of a mountain and my work is up the side of another mountain. Only a pro cyclist is cycling upto my house without having a heart attack

Got a Cube electric mountain bike with Bosch motor, absolutely fantastic, anybody who claims you don’t get a workout going up over the hills on one is talking nonsense.

Do your bikes have a throttle?

No! It's a push button affair on both the Gazelle and Brompton.
