The Bafang do 48V but its not 250W. Its the BBS02.

If you buy the right TSDZ2, you can have 52V.

Less current, same power, cooler running

I like to hear two pops as the tyre seats on the rim. I use a compressor to force lots of air volume to quickly seat the tyre Once the tyre is on, I then remove about 6" with tyre levers, turn one lever sideways to create an opening. Pour in 75 millilitres of Orange seal 'Endurance' I then roll...

It requires 50kW of energy to create 1kg of hydrogen.

So its still requires more energy to make than it produces

If I was commuting all year round, I would invest in a S Pedelec, upto 28mph 1000W motors, large battery. Downside only a few Cost, they are pricey Need a CBT or full driving license. paperwork and insurance. I cant understand the price premium for the kit and bike. An excellent motorcycle would be ...

You could with a kit which if you choose carefully will allow a bit more speed than 15 and more power to climb :wink: or look at a S pedelec. These go upto 28mph and 1000W. You need a full driving license prior to 2001 or CBT They come registered with the DVLA and require 3rd party insurance. But th...

I think said young lady poster has left due to bickering :( Personal choice would be to get a simple, but comfortable bike with disc brakes(hydraulic) Drop in a Tongscheng or Bafang motor kit. Kits take very little to fit, any competent bike shop or home cycle enthusiast can do it. It took me about ...

Ill be there in March too. Ive been half a dozen times, so are quite familiar with the main climbs. I use Tenerife bike training for arranging my trips If you're of average weight 70-80 kg. then you will probably get by on with the gearing. Most folk use 50/34 and 11-32 cass. The gradients arent too...

Ill contact Genesis to see if they will supply a chainset to me. Im not sending or taking bike bloody miles to have it fitted

I have one 2017/18 model. What's wrong with the crankset?

If they send me parts Ill sort it my self

What Motor kit is it? Some kits can be reprogrammed.

I have a Tongscheng TSDZ2 custom kit. It has the benefit of being a 48V kit but I run a 52V battery to aid range and cooler running by using higher voltage not Anps. I can alter battery voltage to suit what battery I decide to use

I have a triple setup on my Tripster ATR its Di2 gearing is 48/36/26 I use a 11/32 or 11/40 cassette. I occasionally use the 26t granny ring for above 10% mainly 36t for climbing and the 48t for flat fast pedalling. The gearing allows me to pedal at a decent cadence on all gradients and I can still ...

You can happily run 3 led lights from a Shimano 3W hub. You can even charge a phone with a usb adaptor

I was giving the example of range the gearing offers.

You are right, if I remember correctly, I hit 145rpm at 53mph coming down Mt Teide chasing down my pack. I would usually coast above 35mph, but I was having a bit of fun that day

I have Kinesis Tripster ATR V2 which I have fitted a Deore Triple crankset 48/36/26 and I either use a 11-32 cass or 11-40 for mountains. This is shifted with XT/XTR Di2 front and rear on road shifters. I developed the setup from using a 44/28 mtb crankset. I use syncro shift to limit cross chaining...
