UK Purchase ?
« on: January 11, 2008, 02:57:28 PM »
Hi everyone,

I would like to make a purchase through goldenmotor.com for a hub-kit for my KMX ST class trike.

Does anyone know if they ship to the UK?

I don't seem to be getting a response from their email? I was just wondering if it is safe to order or not?

Any info greatly appreciated :-)

Regards,
Cyrus

Hi Cyrus

I bought two kits into the UK last year. they do take a long time to reply to your emails, but once the money was paypaled over I got them in about 3 weeks.

A few little grips with them if you have a look at some of my previous posts.

A few tips: forget the nimh batteries, buy lead acid in the UK. Ensure all the pins are lined up, check where the sensor/power wires come out of the hub, very easy to get damaged.

Once they are up and running, they fly!

Hope this helps

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I have decided to go via the cyclone route. In transit as I type so have no idea how well it will perform. I will probably be one of the first to fit a dual-freewheel type as these are quite new, and unconventionally, behind the seat on the KMX which allows for a very short chain length between the motor and the rear cassette. Should have some grunt [500w motor] :-)

I have gone for LifePO4 power, which should give me what I want, just for recreational fun, no day to day communting so no high capacity needed. Will post when conversion is complete.

Regards,
Cyrus
