I think the battery box is a great design, might get a kit for my city bike.

I would have to strap the battery down with some heavy duty rubber straps for offroading, but thats just me, I'm kinky like that:lol8:

Richard i can't get your attachments to work, but i think i know the bike you are taking about. I've been thinking about this kind of thing for a while myself. Running a powerful lithium battery and motor and running dirt jump mtb 2.5 inch tires and 200mm rotors and hydraulic brakes. Although maybe modifying a burly mtb dirt jump Steel frame.

Is this the one you thinking of??

Have you seen anything to compare prices on taobao?

cheers rich

We are all thinking along the same lines, i mwant a tuff single speed city bike and chinaV wants a bit of help on the steep climb he has on his daily commute.

Not a bad looking ebike, but I'm guessing the range and power are pretty limited. Anyone know of a decent quality STEEL mountain bike frame in China?

Cheers!
ChinaV

control system was weird.. had no throttle control, just power assist when you pedalled. So would need a different control box.

my local shop has Voodoo frames for around 3000rmb similar to a kona geometry, designed by the same guy Joe Murray.

Dear ChinaV,

I can't comment on steel frames, but I've been watching this company for the past 20 years and have seen the quality of their titanium frames evolve. They started as an offshoot of the space industry. The Windspeed shop in Beijing has samples of their frames for road and mountain bikes. Or did last time I visited there.

Titanium...lovely, but quite expensive, about ¥5000 for a nice Ti frame. I'm thinking more along the lines of this

Made by a company called Missile, but I really have no clue if their quality is any good. Found them here and looks as though yo can get a frame for under ¥1000.

Cheers!

I noticed UCC have a steel frame cross country mountain bike. I've got options on a steel frame to convert. http://www.fireeye-bike.com/product....ss=2&prodsn=29

I'm interested in a reasonably priced hub/throttle/battery combo, but weight is very important.
