  • What is your recommendation of motor and battery for lugging two units of children (1 X 10 and 1 X 5 years old) up and down SE London hills?

  • Underslung/aftermarket mid drive ish type? Tongsheng 500w, in reality the big players from Shimano EP8/Bosch CX cargo 'rated at 250w' are actually more powerful and more torquey, its just the number they slap on it to make it sound good IME. They also do a 750 + 1000w versions but your definitely in 'illegal e bike' territory there. Not sure how LDN is doing with keeping tabs on them but in Glasgow police are much more interested in slightly dodgy e bikes than other more serious crime so beware, having something that says large numbers on the side of your bike could be an issue. Batteries, buy from anyone reputable, anything in the 500wH to 1000wH is plenty.

  • London is an absolute free for all with 9/10 Food delivery riders on illegal ebikes. 1000s of people on illegal e scooters too. Police don’t gaf / don’t have the resources to regulate it.

  • Yeah a couple of pages ago I was deliberating over
    Bafang or tongsheng
    And what size battery.

    I've got a conversion lined up with a
    BBS02 C965 kit + 52V15A battery

    I'd thought I might be getting a tongsheng and I'd got used to the idea of its torque sensor.

    So.
    Should I stick with the tongsheng (it sounds like no)

    (Battery is overkill)
