Ist that just a „mid mounted“ hub motor?

Motors are on each rear wheel, that thing and the pedals aren’t mechanically linked to the drivetrain, god knows what you do if the battery dies

The European mind cannot comprehend this

Weird

Anyone put a front wheel motor on an Omnium? I wonder if the fork is sturdy enough to take the forces?

There is a nice one on here but can't remember who built it.

If you become desperate I could order a set, and we save 3€ per tire?
Then I could send one to you. Would probably get lost in customs or cost 50£ taxes tough.

Ah no. Almost no saving for the fat one if you buy 2.

Ah you want two?
Cheapest set is 64€ shipping to UK is 27€.

The machine doing the ISO test broke before the fork did.

Front hub motors are never good though, mid-drive if you must.

Well that's encouraging. I've actually got a Bafang mid-drive on now but don't really like the wide q-factor. Maybe sans-motor and getting strong is the best way.

I've really been enjoying the front hub on the bullit, two wheel drive is great!

Any rear rack recommendations for the Bullitt? The Larry vs Harry ones are out of stock atm so wondered if anyone is using anything different?

I have a Tortec Transalp, fixed to one of those rack mount seatclamps. Works fine.

Where did you see this?

On reifen.com. Was in the Google shopping results.
No UK in the delivery drop-down.
The moment we add whatever sending the money costs one tire will probably cost 50€.

Anyone got one of the bafang cables to connect to a laptop? I think I sold mine to @M_A_X a while ago and need to adjust something again....

Also, I've got a battery I'd like to have rehoused, anyone know someone who could do this?

Can you install the Bafang without the speedo and the throttle?

Yup, definitely without the speedo (just disconnect the sensor). Pretty sure you can do the same for the throttle (it is useful without torque sensing though).

Cheers! I don't really need e-power but I thought it might be fun since they're so cheap and easy to install (are they??).

Weve got one at work in Bristol you'd be welcome to borrow?

Amazing, PM incoming.

Picked up a Justlong for £700 and it's been a blast so far, I thought it would stop my cargo fighting. (they were previously crammed into a Burley trailer) but now they fight and also try and stick their finger in my bum, fail

so cheap and easy to install (are they??).

Reasonably! You're talking about a mid-drive I assume? They do add a considerable weight to the bike, so you will find you need e-power once you've got it.
