Welcome to Chiltern-Ebikes Aston Clinton. Over the past year we have built and tested over 30 e-bikes using the Bafang 250w Mid drive motor. We are mountain bike specialists and are constantly developing our conversions and have recently completed a conversion of a 20 year old GT mountain bike that made a really great retro bike look with electric assistance. We are now offering a conversion on carefully selected retro bikes that have the right look and specification. Please note that we are building a number of these bikes and for illustration we have fitted a motor ad battery. Each bike will have a new motor and battery fitted. Any worn parts will be replaced with new or very good used parts from our extensive stock. These quality older bikes with 26 wheels and disc brakes were cutting edge once but have been out paced by the new breed of bikes with larger wheels and greater travel on the suspension. This is great for riding a non assisted bike but the benefits of easier rolling don’t really matter on an e-bike, super light weight expensive components are irrelevant and a 26 wheel bike is smaller and easier to transport, store and maintain as parts are in abundance. The battery is 10ah and will give you up to 20 miles range on the throttle alone without pedaling and 30 – 40 miles with a mix of pedaling and throttle. Trek 4500 19 Aluminium frame Medium. Mechaical front and rear Disc brakes. 26 new alloy double wall rims. 26 x 2.3 Maxxis Knobbly Tyres. Shimano Acera rear mech 9 speed. New 9 cassette speed cassette and chain. Bafang 250w BBS mid drive motor with C961 Display. New 10 ah Battery Complete with Charger. The 10 ah 36v battery comprises 18650 cells and is rated at approx 3600 watt hours. This will typically give a minimum range of 20-30 miles using the throttle at max power with little or no pedal input. The range under normal use is 30-40 miles but can be extended by conservative use of the assistance. Riding in power level one is great for touring where maximum range is required, this could be 60 miles, two is advised for road work and a speed of 13-16 mph can be maintained without much effort. Pedaling hard in levelwill achieve 20-25 on the flat. The throttle will provide a boost like a turbo in any power level and is extremely useful when climbing hills or in headwind as it can be used in bursts to rest your legs so you can maximise the exercise benefit like mini work outs. On a typical ride I will personally cover 30 miles in maximum power level 3 with short bursts of pedal input and or throttle to achieve an average speed of 20-25 mph giving a great cardio work out. If you are commuting you can use the throttle on its own so you arrive at work fresh having not pedaled at all. The throttle feature is not available on new factory bikes but is allowed on conversions and is extremely beneficial if you have a minor disability, knee injury or are unfit as you can keep up with traffic and other fitter cyclists. The rate of effort you put in down to you but your fitness will improve just as much or more on a ebike compared to a conventional bicycle because you will want to ride greater distances and will be able to get gentle exercise for a longer period. You will also find a ebike immeasurably greater fun. We advise that chain and cassette are new on every bike and are expected to last 1000 miles depending on use, with these bikes you can pull away from stand still using the throttle only in 3/4/5 gear comfortably as 1/2nd are crawler gears for hills. Delivered fast and free tracked and insured via Parcel Force 24. Our E-Bike conversion which has all the specifications and power of the factory bikes but also has a throttle. These converted bikes typically weigh 2-3 KG less than a factory full suspension E-Bike. On paper the specification of the brakes, front fork and battery capacity are almost identical and like all E- bikes they have a 250w motor. We also offer fitting of great value accessories such as a rear carrier, Mudhugger front and ear mudguards and lights. Where possible we arrange to deliver the bike ourselves to hand it over personally. This saves on packaging, re-assembly and means you have a ready to ride bike.
