CYC Photon Gen 2 Review

0 CommentsEbike conversions

Road-legal gentleman. Off-road beast. Your choice. The CYC Photon Gen 2 represents something genuinely rare in the ebike conversion world: uncompromising quality that doesn't force you to choose between legality and performance. At 250W, it's perfectly road-legal across the UK and EU. But here's the genius - switch modes via the sophisticated Ride Control app, and you're unlocking 2000W of unrestricted power for private land adventures.

Bafang BBS02 Review

0 CommentsEbike conversions

The Bafang BBS02 is a mid-drive electric bike conversion kit designed to replace a bicycle’s existing bottom bracket and add powerful electric assist while utilising the bike’s original drivetrain. This type of system sits at the crank area (mid-mount) rather than in a wheel hub, delivering power directly into the bike’s gearing for greater efficiency, especially on hills. Mid-drive kits like the BBS02 differ from hub motors because they leverage the bike’s gears to maintain torque and cadence efficiently across a wider range of speeds and terrains, rather than relying solely on a single gear ratio. Core Specifications and Features Typical Bafang BBS02 kits—such…

Both routes can get you cruising along with a smug grin on your face — but they’re not the same beast. Here are the key…

Choosing the Right Ebike Conversion Kit

0 CommentsBuyers Guide, Ebike conversions

If you’ve decided to go electric without ditching your favourite bike, you’re already winning. But now comes the tricky part: choosing the right ebike conversion kit. Get it right and you’ll have a smooth, powerful, grin-inducing ride. Get it wrong and you’ll have a heavy, awkward bike that feels like it’s fighting you. Here’s how to nail it. Hub drive or mid-drive? One of the first choices when figuring out how to choose the right ebike conversion kit is the motor type. Hub motors sit in the wheel (front or rear). They’re cheaper, quieter, and easier to install. Great for…

Best Ebike for Next Day Delivery

0 CommentsUncategorized

When you need wheels now, not next week. Here's the scenario: You need an ebike, and you need it fast. Maybe your car just died and you've got a commute starting Monday.

Whatever the reason, you don't have time for the typical week-plus lead time most ebike retailers operate on. Local bike shops?
