Extra small sized ladies mid-drive E-bike from Brighton E-bikes

22/8/2016

0 Comments

 
This recent BBS01 conversion was specifically requested to be with an extra small ladies frame, and for weight distribution and handling reasons, have the battery mounted on the downtube.
The 'Giant Liv Alight 2' in extra small offered everything in a beautiful package. 
With both the motor and battery mounted central and low on the bike, the handling becomes more stable and the ride smoother.
The 250 watt mid-drive motor, capable of providing 80Nm of torque at the cranks, delivers plenty of power to ascend what previously would have been a 'get off and walk' type of hill.
Approximately 50 miles between charges means longer journeys suddenly become more achievable, and local journeys become a breeze.
It feels light and nibble to ride, but packs a punch far greater than it's stature.

Ridgeback World Voyage, Brighton E-bikes edition

22/8/2016

0 Comments

 
A keen cyclist for all of their life, the owner of this much loved Ridgeback World Voyage's recent hip operation meant that using the bike around Brighton was no longer possible.
With the addition of a Bafang BBS01 36 volt 250 watt mid-drive motor and a Samsung cell battery, the bike is back in daily use again.
Yet another wonderful example of #moresmilepermile in action :)

This really is well worth a watch.
Bike engineer Zach Krapfl explains why electric bikes offer a bright future in personal transportation.
(We are pleased to say that all our batteries at Brighton E-bikes are charged using solar energy).

Think Off-Road Biking is Too Tough for You? 

10/8/2016

0 Comments

 
Progress in electric transportation is developing fast, electric bikes being the best, most viable and cost effective option to transform everyday life for many people, particularly here in Brighton and Hove.
So many people have bikes sitting unused in a shed or garage, purely because the hilly terrain can be too zapping to make cycling everywhere enjoyable. Many start with good intentions but resort to the car after a short while.
Now, with the ability to add a small mid-drive electric motor and battery to bikes that people already own, it transforms the cycling experience into the best way to get around Brighton and Hove.
Research shows that people who converted their bike to electric assist use their bike four times more frequently than before, and journey distances more than doubled. 
There are many other positive effects, not just on the individual but those around them and the environment too.
For people who previously drove a car for local journeys, it immediately means there is one less car adding to congestion and polluting air.
The health and lifestyle benefits new e-bikers report are of feeling more energised, more relaxed and experiencing a greater sense of well being. Arriving places early and not having trouble parking were added bonuses reported by many. Cycling is a very nice way to travel once the hills are magically made to feel flat. 
There is some truly beautiful countryside around Brighton, and venturing to the South Downs becomes a breeze with the assistance of an e-bike, meaning more people can feel confident riding off-road into areas that they would never have previously believed possible. A fifteen or twenty mile ride around the South Downs suddenly becomes an activity more people can enjoy together. It's all about inclusivity.
Below are a couple of photos taken on a recent jaunt along the South Downs to show what's on offer if you get out there. Half an hour ride from the door of our workshop and scenes like below can be found in every direction.
If you think you might like to try the lifestyle changes that an e-bike brings, get in touch through our Contact page or by calling 01273 930700.

What our customers say...


"Thank you so much for all your help and advice. I'm absolutely delighted with my bike!
​I did 20 miles on it today, admittedly quite a flat route, but I enjoyed a gentle boost when I felt a bit tired and the best bit was cycling home from the station (uphill all the way, right up through the centre of Lewes) which I usually dread, but today it felt really smooth and pretty
and relaxing. I'm looking forward to my next ride already, and know I'm going to use it so much more.
I found the gears easier than my old bike. Much prefer just having the 8 on one shift, and they are all really smooth.
Another unexpected benefit was that I felt safer. At a couple of points where I might struggle normally, junctions, roundabouts etc. the bit of extra power meant I could get away more quickly, and concentrate on navigating safely.
I really appreciated that you took so much time to explain everything, and the try-out ride this morning was really helpful. It gave me more confidence that I had tackled that hill and succeeded. 
Would thoroughly recommend your service rather than buying a bike 'off the peg'."
- Sarah, Lewes, September 2018.
