    Its totally doable yourself if you can put the time aside.
    I couldn't and can't.

    Thank you, looking forward to seeing them. I have two young kids, for various reasons there's no way I would ever have that much time to myself to work on it. I sold loads of records to vinyl pimp so have the cash to get a shop to do it.

    I have an older Bullitt with a coaster brake. Do you think that will cause any difficulties?

  • I put a tong on my bike a couple of weeks ago (a pashley I bought off @passhunting last year). Pretty simple really, just swap the bottom bracket and wire everything up. Probably took no more than 2 hours. I got my from PSW Power on ali. Came to £400.13 for both the motor and a 48V 12.5amh (if you use the 'ship from China' option, although it actually comes from Germany...). I think coaster brake may be an issue with the tong as you can't acutally back-pedal due to a cluch thing which stops the front cog rotating backward (although the cranks still rotate), I assume to protect the mechanism or something?

  • Also have the kids, so I get you here.

    Older bullitt can take a tong sheng, because the area under the BB shell is different to the newer model. Whether you want a tong or not is up to you. I thought "oh I WANT a tong because, it's like having bionic legz rather than being pushed up the hill". I had a go on the bafang after fitting and I don't care anymore....

    when you don't pedal, my motor doesn't kick in. When I pedal it kicks in a beat later. Is fine.
