As an ebike rider you will endure more snide remarks than a Landy owner at a Hilux gathering ..... Even my friends on normal bikes have commented on the "type of comments" I get riding my ebike. I am long gone past the point where it bothers me, I just tag in with more jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted November 26, 2021 Share 52 minutes ago, FrogeyeSA said: Why would they look awful? ..... From the Chilled Squirrel website - People dont even notice the Hub mount. The only thing "showing" it is an ebike is battery, and this is the same for most ebikes The mid mount certainly is noticeable .... though I have seen a fellow Hubber at the local trails on one of these. Only reason I knew he was riding an ebike was the battery filling the triangle ... only then did I notice the "motor hanging below the bike". I was well on my way to doing this exact conversion when I stumbled upon the demo model deal at Darrvin. ENJOY your new bikes !!! PS - that full suss of yours is a VERY nice bike. See a lot of it on EMBN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogeyeSAJohn Posted November 26, 2021 Share Just in case everyone thinks I only enjoy riding my EBike, here are three of some of my other bikes. Two Carbon Bianchi both fully equipped with Dura Ace. A Panasonic DX6000 Steel bike equipped with Shimano 600 groupset. ChrisF and Headshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstV8 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Glad you got sorted but living in Edenvale you missed getting hold of Desmond Soekoe https://soekoe.co.za/ in Fishers Hill just up the road . He builds E Bikes and Motorised Bikes from scratch . A mate of mine bought components from him and built his own E Bike ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled Squirrel Ebikes Posted January 20, 2022 Share On 11/25/2021 at 10:07 PM, FrogeyeSAJohn said: For the last four weeks, I have been trying to get one of the EBike agents/distributors/ manufacturers to respond to queries on doing business with them with little success. Maybe the weather in the Cape is always Chilled and hence they are in hibernation. Living in Gauteng does not help because all EBikes seem to be centered around Western Cape. Short of spending up to R 100K on one of the recognised brands where does one go? Feedback is appreciated.

FrogeyeSAJohn Posted January 20, 2022 Share If my customers had to wait eight weeks for me to respond to a query on a potential sale, I would long ago have been out of business. No thanks, I don't need your services anymore. I have sourced three EBikes since my original enquiry. John FirstV8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
