Electric bike conversion kits ?
- Thread starter spud1966

Here are the instructions
You will have to measure your drop out spaces
Just count how many cogs you have on your rear wheel Cassette if it's 7 you need a 7 freewheel ect
The one you posted is 135 to 142 mm that is a standard size
Plus get a 1000w as the batteries are cheaper
And go for a rear-wheel conversion as front-wheel ones are strange when your turning corners and get more spinouts

Mine is front wheel, bascally because when I fitted it a couple of there was less of a choice and I like my 8-speed Sram setup. I can't say cornering is affected much, and re. spin-outs, well it's not usually wet here so traction is seldom a problem. I felt the weight distribution was better too having the motor at the front.
How does UK customs view items ordered from Ali Express & the like? Here they have a (strictly enforced) €22 limit on goods imported from outside the EU, and how much duty + VAT they charge depends on (a) time of the month, (b) colour of the packaging and any other irrelevant excuse they can think up of to extort money out of us. As a result several overseas companies have arranged 'laundering' routes via various other EU countries to sneak stuff in. It seems to take an eternity but it's still quicker (and a lot cheaper) that waiting for customs in Lisbon to piss about doing whatever it is they do. Unfortunately Ali Express isn't one of them and a high percentage of stuff ordered from them just disappears.
Well ffs man i asked for £300 for the fooked battery , got a response from PayPal , the seller is willing to give you £29.99 for the freewheel

uk customs are £32 i think but the seller will lower invoice for customs as its on his ad
Well if you don't want a rear-wheel conversion go for the front wheel one, very easy to setup
Plus get a torque arm as this will help to stop snapping your dropout on your front forks

Sucks mate but youll either get a replacement or your money back. Your troubles have put me off converting my bike to a degree.
Well got a reply the seller (paypal) is giving me a full refund ffs i just needed the battery sorted out
Going to phone Paypal tomorrow because i had to modify the pedal assistance to fit my bottom bracket and got some scratches on the back wheel
No doubt the plonker will bitch about this and ask to pay me less than the full refund
My quest still continues

Does that mean you have to undo all the spokes?
Never mind the seller bitching about scratches, you should be charging him for your time!! Can't you sk for a partial refund and source your own battery?
The item you bought is not fit for purpose whether you’ve used it or not so you should be entitled to a full refund. You are bound to get scratches on it, it’s a bike.
I would put it to him that you just want a partial refund for the battery and if he doesn’t want to do that then he’s he’s trying to be awkward and make you send it all back, because he knows the work that you’ve put in to set it all up. Twat
Well phoned Paypal and told him about the scratches and the peddle assistant modifications
They have told me I'm still covered and have to post the full kit back the plonker zzzzzzz

I've just had a quick look at Trustpilot and it seems you're not alone with all 3 of your issues @spud1966 ; no freewheel, knackered battery and zero comm's.
Someone did have a degree of success by visiting the premises in person, albeit an unpleasant experience for him.
I see they claim to be in Glenrothes yet their phone number appears to be from Aldershot area.
Dodgy AF!
I trust you will be posting your experience on TP to help balance out the obvious shills.....

Ended up using DLP service as they don't mind taking lithium batteries as long as you declare it on the order form
Cost me £22 to post but don't mine long as this nightmare ends and i get my full refund
Iv took pics as well rapping the pices up lol
