| I'm building a two wheel drive dual suspension NIMH bike, but when the controller and hub motor turned up I couldn't resist the temptation to try them - (sorry about your bike Pauline ) New version will be finished end of March and I promise to make it look less like it was knocked up in someone's garage. Performance of this one is actually not bad but the SLA batteries are useless - these Heinzmann motors also whine like mad because of the steel gears inside which is a good way of drawing attention to your 750W bike in a country where the legal limit is 200W. | |
