      If you get one, some things to consider: If you need to get spares for the kit you will have to go direct to Lvbu in China. The UK stockists, myelectricbikeshop, said I would have to get a complete kit when I only wanted a spare battery. That is if you can get hold of this UK stockist! When I try online it says connection is not secure. The postage of battery from China is expensive too.

    I just got the 10” IMT on Amazon for $40. 750 lb suction. I’d prefer a multi cup front but I’d think 750 lbs should be safe enough. Not sure what safe speed is with it on though.

    This is the same kit as the one I have, supplied and rebranded by a company called Easifit in UK. I have had it around one year. I have found it reasonable, quite low powered and as you go up the power scale there is not a huge difference between, say, 20 per cent and 80. It doesn't compare in any way with the power delivery from my Raleigh Felix Plus ebike but it's ok for pottering round town. I wouldn't want to use it in a hilly area.

    • @philiphiggs1615
      @philiphiggs1615 Рік тому

      No Pass sensor required with this design. The system uses a gyroscope to determine whether the bike is accelerating, braking, going up hill and down hill. Power to the hub motor is determined according to the results from the gyroscope sensory feedback.

    what is the maximum speed of this kit?

    • @philiphiggs1615
      @philiphiggs1615 Рік тому

      The range is variable depending on many variables. I managed 62 miles on one battery using the system set at 50% to 65% assist. The terrain was fairly flat with a few small hills. I’d suggest expecting at least 40 miles from 1 battery in the worst conditions.

    • @philiphiggs1615
      @philiphiggs1615 Рік тому

      So far I am very satisfied with the LVBU electric wheel. It’s difficult to determine the top speed. Speed is controllable using the LVBU application down loaded to your smart phone. Please look at the LVBU web site to determine the maximum speed. AT A guess I think it is approximately 20mph. It’s your choice, there are many different methods to electrify your bicycle.

    Me and Gill visited the NEC bike show this afternoon. The video captures me in a max effort for 6 seconds on a Watt bike. A competition I did not even get close to winning. Nevertheless it contributed money toward the Submariners charity. Gill entered their raffle and won second prize. The show continues tomorrow. Whilst there I tried out two electric fold up bikes and a bike with the new Skarpar electric assist clip on system that converts ordinary bikes with disk brakes into an electric assist bike. Good fun, but lacked many of the big brand named cycle manufacturing organisations. Be warned parking at the NEC cost £16.95. If you precooked parking on the internet before hand you could save approx £4.

    It seems well built but one single suction pad doesn’t make me confident. I’m considering a vacuum bike rack for two e bikes but haven’t chose the right one yet.A couple of Rassine LX400A could my target but don’t know where to buy it.

    I've purchased a second IMT vacuum bike rack system. I'm happy with this product, and needed two. I decided to buy one check it out, decide whether to send it back or make another purchase. Purchased from Amazon UK for £99, with very quick delivery. Before using the bike rack and to take away some "will it work anxiety", check all the screws used on each sucker are tight, and stick the pads to a flat surface, e.g. A window or fridge door for an over night proof of operation test. I did this successfully, there was no visible drop in the vacuum after 12 hours. Stick it to a surface or your car roof and test it with all your weight. Read the instructions and follow the manufacturers advice. I opted for this system because: 1.). It's lite weight, easy to put on, takeoff and store, in the provided little carrier case. 2.). IMT have lots of previous experience with vacuum suction pad systems. 3.). It's very competitively priced and I like a bargain. 4.). I wanted a solution that was vehicle transferable. If you are not happy or unconvinced with this type of vacuum car rack system, the next Best Buy I found in the UK was a LXB6 RASSINE TWIN BICYCLE SUCTION ROOF RACK TOP HOLDER, available for £225, from Orange imports based near Huntingdon. They also do a single bike system that has three suction pads, similar in design to the Sea Sucker Talon for £155, the LXB5 RASSINE SINGLE BIKE RACK. Other makes of vacuum suction pad bike rack system I considered were SeaSucker, Treefrog, ROCKBROS, Kupper Mount, and a couple of Chinese brandless products.
