So has anyone got recommendations for a kit that would meet these needs? Or, does anyone have a suggestion of a regular bike similar to the Windsor Oxford Deluxe, but with a 7-8spd IGH and disc or roller brakes that a kit would fit well to? As an aside, I'm a female and prefer step-through frames.and maybe something girly and cute. Does anyone recommend these/know if they'd work with the kind of bike I want? I've also seen kits from AmpedBikes that look just like a waterbottle. I particularly like the kits that mount on a rear rack (like some of the BionX kits, but they are VERY expensive!) or in a triangle shaped frame bag. Something quiet and/or discreet gets extra bonus points.I want a battery other than SLA but I don't know what batteries are considered most superior? I've seen a bunch of names like LiPo4 and such and I don't know which battery is best to use.I need a range of at least 20ish miles (with hills) but more is better.So I need help getting a load up those big hills as well. I'm not large (5'7", 135lbs) but I do need some real power to get up the steep hills, because I will be using this bike to do some heavy transporting.I'm also looking for advice on what kit to go with. If I go with a front wheel conversion kit that works with disc brakes, that means it won't interfere with an IGH since thats on the back wheel, right? I think I want to do a front-wheel direct drive but am wondering how that would interact with a back wheel IGH.if I'm using battery power, will I still be able to shift/use gears or not? If I'm not using battery power, would I be able to just pedal and use gears normally? Also, what is a "Universal Torque Arm" and would I need it? If I don't do that bike, I'd like a bike with either a 7 or 8speed IGH and preferably disc brakes or rollerbrakes (bad weather where I live), but might get stuck with v-brakes anyway. I'm thinking of fitting it to a Windsor Oxford Deluxe, which has a rear wheel 3speed IGH. There are a few things I need though from this conversion kit. I'm very new to biking but want to get an e-bike kit to help with the *VERY* hilly commute to school and work. But for the great majority of my testing, the gearing was fine, just occasionally spinning out on descents.īr_weight, 5, 6, Weight, 13.28kg (M), Array, kgīr_availableSizes, 11, 0, Available sizes, S, M, L, XLīr_bottomBracket, 11, 0, Bottom bracket, Neco cartridgeīr_brakes, 11, 0, Brakes, Shimano BR-T4000 V-brakes, Tektro leversīr_cassette, 11, 0, Cassette, Shimano 10-speed 11-42īr_chain, 11, 0, Chain, SRAM PC1031 10-speedīr_cranks, 11, 0, Cranks, Shimano FC-T3010, 36tīr_frame, 11, 0, Frame, Double-butted steelīr_handlebar, 11, 0, Handlebar, Cinelli (non-test bike gets Deda Zero)īr_headset, 11, 0, Headset, Ergotec threadlessīr_rearDerailleur, 11, 0, Rear derailleur, Shimano Deoreīr_saddle, 11, 0, Saddle, Men’s Terry Fisio Gelīr_seatpost, 11, 0, Seatpost, 27.Sorry ahead of time for a very long post- I really appreciate any help as I'm lost but very much want to start biking my commute! The single chainring will always mean a limited gear range, and this bike’s 36-tooth chainring and 11-42 cassette offer a 23-88in range for flatter, faster riding I’d go for a larger chainring, for loaded touring I’d go smaller still. The tyres are just about the right width for light touring, commuting and general riding, offering comfort on smooth and unsurfaced routes, and decent grip on towpaths, light gravel and broken country lanes. I thought the Terry men’s saddle would feel overly padded, but I got on with it very well. This regal position is great for both seeing and being seen, with the slightly ovalised handlebar tops comfy for long commutes and big days out. It’s smooth, comfortable and shock absorbing with an upright riding position that put no strain on my back. What does all of this mean when it comes to the ride? Well, it’s everything you’d expect of a chromoly steel bike with supple 32mm-wide tyres and slack, touring-friendly geometry. It’s everything you’d expect of a chromoly steel bike with wide tyres and touring-friendly geometry.
