Electric bicycles

Have used yosepower before. I and several friends have been happy with their kits.

Also used topbikekit recently too, cheap and good supplier but a typically impenetrable Chinese website.

Don't write off a mid drive, it'll up your cadence and smooth power delivery. Hub motors are a good fit for low torque, higher speed. not for loaded long hill climbs.

In your own first post you stated "low cadence" & seen first hand what thar does to e-bikes.- so I was trying to be helpful.
Ho hum

60 is considered low?
I have the same problem with running. If the grounds wet, there are very few running shoes that will give me traction going up hill.

You have a fair point though, the slipping is most evident going up hills or starting from lights where I'm trying to put down power. At lights I should perhaps change down even further.

Last time I also replaced the derailure and shifters.
Its an 8 speed, correct chain,

I'll try to get a video of it slipping, should be easy to do..

lots of topics covered, out of interest do you have a chain stretch tool, its amazing how short chain life is, I change my chain every spring and I am doing no where near as many miles out on the road now. I have manage to save my chain rings and cassette by changing my chain early.
