In July 2023, Alex made a significant decision that changed his daily commute and lifestyle. Living in Brighton, a city known for its picturesque but challenging hills, Alex found himself increasingly frustrated with the effort required to navigate the terrain on a traditional bicycle. Seeking a solution, he turned to Greenlance and decided to convert his bicycle into an electric one.

The Greenlance Choice

When it came to choosing the right battery for his e-bike, Alex opted for a Samsung Cells Battery from Greenlance. He was impressed by the battery's reliability and safety, which provided him peace of mind knowing that he had invested in a high-quality product.

The Motivation Behind the Conversion

The steep hills of Brighton were a significant driving force behind Alex's decision to convert his bicycle. He needed the extra power to tackle those inclines without breaking a sweat. The conversion allowed him to continue enjoying the freedom of cycling, even in a city with challenging geography.

Life After the Conversion

The impact of the conversion on Alex's life was immediate and profound. He found himself cycling more often, to the point where he was using his car so infrequently that he decided to take it off the road and cancel his insurance. This shift not only led to a healthier lifestyle—Alex noticed he was losing weight and lowering his resting heart rate—but also reinforced his commitment to sustainable living.

A Day in the Life with an E-Bike

Alex's daily routine became simpler and more enjoyable. His commute to work, which once felt like a chore, was now something he looked forward to. Every day, he jumped on his e-bike and headed to work, and after a productive day, he eagerly anticipated the ride home.

Product Satisfaction

For his e-bike conversion, Alex used a Samsung 48V 13Ah battery from Greenlance. He was thoroughly satisfied with its performance, finding it to be the perfect companion for his newly converted e-bike.

A Greener Perspective

Converting his bike into an e-bike also transformed Alex's views on eco-friendly transportation. The experience made it clear to him that e-bikes are the future of sustainable travel, offering a practical and enjoyable way to reduce one's carbon footprint.

Looking Ahead

Reflecting on his journey, Alex hopes to see Greenlance expand its product offerings in the future. Specifically, he would love to see e-bike conversion kits become available, making it even easier for others to enjoy the benefits of electric cycling.

Meet Paul

In January 2024, Paul made a decision that would open up new possibilities for both him and his wife. They both loved cycling but wanted to take their biking adventures to the next level. That’s when Paul decided to convert not just his bicycle, but also his wife’s, into e-bikes. This upgrade would allow them to cycle further, explore more, and enjoy the countryside without the limitations of a traditional bicycle.

Choosing Greenlance for Reliability

When it came to selecting the right battery for their e-bike conversion, Paul chose Greenlance, specifically for their Samsung Cells Batteries. The reputation for reliability and consistent performance made Samsung the clear choice. Paul knew that with these batteries, he could count on long-lasting power to support their extended rides.

The Conversion Process

Paul opted to install Bafang mid-drive motors on their hybrid bicycles. This choice allowed them to maintain the natural feel of cycling while benefiting from the added power when needed. The conversion was a success, transforming their bikes into powerful, efficient e-bikes that were perfect for both daily use and longer adventures.

Benefits of the Conversion

The most significant benefit Paul and his wife experienced after the conversion was the ability to cycle much further than before. With their e-bikes, they could explore more cycle routes, venture into the countryside, and discover new places they hadn’t been able to reach on traditional bikes. The conversion also made everyday tasks, like shopping, more enjoyable, as they could now easily carry groceries without relying on their car.

A New Daily Routine

Paul’s daily routine has changed significantly since converting his bicycle to an e-bike. Now, instead of taking the car, he uses his e-bike for errands and countryside rides. This switch has not only been more convenient but also more pleasurable, allowing him to enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of nature while taking care of daily tasks.

Greenlance Products and Satisfaction

For their e-bike conversion, Paul purchased three sets of batteries— 48V 10AH, 48V 13AH, and 48V 17AH — along with Waterproof Led Bar Lights from Greenlance. The variety of battery capacities provided flexibility for different types of rides, and the lights ensured they could safely navigate even in low-light conditions. Paul has been thoroughly satisfied with the performance and service from Greenlance, finding the products reliable and the customer service exceptional.

A Greener, More Enjoyable Way to Travel

Paul has always had a positive view of eco-friendly transportation, but his experience with e-bikes has further reinforced this perspective. He has been pleasantly surprised by how much more convenient and enjoyable it is to cycle with the assistance of an e-bike. The ability to reduce car usage while still enjoying all the benefits of cycling has been a game-changer for Paul and his wife.

Looking to the Future

Reflecting on his experience, Paul hopes to see Greenlance expand its offerings to include conversion kits, making it even easier for others to transform their bicycles into e-bikes. This, he believes, would encourage more people to embrace the benefits of e-biking and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Meet Chris

Chris's journey with e-bikes began in 2022 when he decided to convert his traditional bicycle into an electric one. After years of not cycling, he found himself in a semi-office-based job, which left him craving more physical activity. Cycling seemed like the perfect solution—offering a way to exercise without the high impact of running. However, after such a long break from cycling, Chris knew he needed a little extra help to get back on the road, so he opted for an e-bike conversion.

A Battery Upgrade

Fast forward to 2023, Chris encountered an issue with his original battery and decided to replace it with a Samsung Cells Battery from Greenlance. Although the new battery had a slightly smaller capacity, Chris was pleasantly surprised to find that his range actually improved. The upgrade not only solved his problem but also enhanced his overall riding experience.

Choosing Greenlance for Quality

When it came time to replace his battery, Chris didn’t hesitate to choose Greenlance. The reputation for quality and the reliable performance of Samsung Cells Batteries made the decision an easy one. His trust in Greenlance was further reinforced by their excellent customer service when he encountered an issue unrelated to the battery. The team was helpful and understanding, ensuring Chris could get back to enjoying his rides without delay.

The Motivation to Convert

Chris’s decision to convert his bicycle was driven by a desire to improve his fitness. With a job that required him to spend more time at a desk, he knew he needed a form of exercise that was easy on his joints but effective in keeping him active. An e-bike conversion allowed him to enjoy cycling with the added assurance that he could manage the effort, even after years off the bike.

The Benefits of E-Biking

The conversion brought significant benefits to Chris’s life. Not only did his general fitness improve, but he also rediscovered the joy of cycling. The e-bike became an integral part of his daily routine, especially on days when he worked from home. Every evening, he looked forward to a 10-15 mile ride, and on weekends, he made sure to cover at least 15 miles. These regular rides gave him the chance to get some fresh air, clear his mind, and get the exercise he needed.

E-Biking as a Daily Ritual

For Chris, cycling has become more than just a form of exercise; it’s a cherished part of his daily life. The rides are a time for him to disconnect from work, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on two wheels. The consistent use of his e-bike has made it a reliable companion in his pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

A Sustainable Choice

Chris’s experience with e-biking has also influenced his views on eco-friendly transportation. He sees e-bikes as a fantastic way for people to travel, reducing the reliance on cars and minimising harmful emissions. For Chris, cycling isn’t just about personal fitness; it’s also a step towards a more sustainable future.

Looking to the Future

Chris is highly satisfied with his Greenlance products and service. While he doesn't have any immediate suggestions for improvement, he does hope to see more local suppliers in the UK offering e-bike motors and controllers at reasonable prices. As e-bikes continue to grow in popularity, Chris believes that increased availability of these products will make the transition to electric cycling even more accessible for others.

Meet Desmond

Desmond recently completed a project that had been on his mind for years: converting his mountain bike into an e-bike. After purchasing the bike with the intention of converting it, life kept him busy, delaying the project. However, with determination and the support of Greenlance, Desmond finally saw his vision come to life, transforming his bike into a reliable e-bike ready for his daily commute.

Choosing Greenlance for Quality

When it came time to select a battery for his conversion, Desmond turned to Greenlance, a brand known for its quality and reliability. He opted for a 52V 20Ah Samsung Cells Battery, confident in its performance. Although he encountered a minor challenge with the brick sensor shut off, Desmond quickly resolved it by purchasing a new sensor, ensuring his bike was fully operational.

The Decision to Convert

Desmond had purchased his mountain bike specifically with the goal of converting it into an e-bike. His primary motivation was practical: he wanted a way to commute to work without arriving sweaty, especially since his workplace doesn’t have shower facilities. The conversion provided the perfect solution, combining the benefits of cycling with the added convenience of electric power.

The Benefits of Conversion

The e-bike conversion has brought significant benefits to Desmond’s life. It allows him to avoid the overcrowded tubes of London’s underground system and reduces his reliance on a car, saving both time and stress. The e-bike has also made his commute more enjoyable, offering a cleaner and more efficient way to navigate the city.

Daily Routine and Future Plans

Desmond is eager to integrate his e-bike into his daily routine. As he continues to refine his bike setup, such as managing cables for a neat finish, he looks forward to making e-biking a regular part of his commute. The transition to an e-bike is set to enhance his daily activities, providing a smoother and more enjoyable way to get to work.

Product Performance and Satisfaction

Desmond is pleased with the performance of his Greenlance battery, though he noted that having the correct adapters for his BAFANG motor would have been helpful. Despite this, the overall experience has been positive, and he’s satisfied with the power and range offered by the 52V 20AH battery.

A Step Toward Sustainability

Desmond’s e-bike has reinforced his commitment to eco-friendly transportation. By using his e-bike for daily commutes, he’s contributing to a reduction in car usage and emissions. However, he remains mindful of the need for secure storage solutions, particularly to protect his battery from theft as e-bikes become more popular.

Looking to the Future

Looking ahead, Desmond hopes to see Greenlance expand their product offerings, perhaps with additional accessories like sleeves for cable management, to further simplify the e-bike conversion process. For now, he’s excited to start using his e-bike regularly and enjoy the many benefits of a more sustainable and convenient commute.

Meet Mark

About four years ago, Mark made a life-changing decision to convert his traditional bicycle into an e-bike. Having experienced a heart attack seven years prior, Mark needed a way to stay active without overexerting himself. The conversion to an e-bike provided the perfect solution, giving him the confidence to explore more while ensuring he could stay within his physical limits.

Why Greenlance?

Mark was already familiar with Greenlance, having purchased from them before, so when it came time to select a battery for his e-bike, he knew he could trust the quality. He opted for a Samsung Cells Battery, confident in its reliability and performance. The choice was easy, knowing that with Greenlance and Samsung, he was getting top-tier technology that wouldn’t let him down.

The Decision to Convert

Mark’s decision to convert his bicycle wasn’t just about convenience; it was about reclaiming his independence and mobility after a major health scare. The e-bike allowed him to get out and about, enjoying the fresh air and the freedom of cycling, without the fear of overexertion. With the added power, even climbing slopes became easy, turning previously challenging rides into enjoyable outings.

The Benefits of E-Biking

The conversion brought significant benefits to Mark’s life. It gave him the confidence to venture further than he normally would have on a traditional bike. Whether it’s commuting to work or simply cycling around his home city of Hull, Mark no longer arrives at his destination out of breath. The e-bike has made his daily routines more enjoyable and less physically demanding.

A New Daily Routine

Since converting his bike, Mark has integrated e-biking into his daily routine. He uses it regularly for commuting, no longer needing to rely on his car. This shift has saved him on fuel costs and made his journeys to and from work more pleasant. He arrives feeling refreshed, rather than exhausted, which has had a positive impact on his overall wellbeing.

Greenlance Products: Power and Satisfaction

Mark initially purchased a 13Ah 48V battery for his first e-bike build. However, seeking even more range, he recently upgraded to a 52V 20Ah Samsung Cells Battery from Greenlance. Describing it as “a beast,” Mark has been thoroughly satisfied with the performance of his Greenlance products. The only challenge he faced was fitting the battery bracket to his bike frame, but a simple adjustment with a drill resolved the issue.

A Greener Perspective

The switch to e-biking has also influenced Mark’s views on eco-friendly transportation. By using his e-bike for shorter journeys, he’s significantly reduced his reliance on his car, which means he’s also reducing his carbon footprint. It’s a small but meaningful contribution to a more sustainable lifestyle, something Mark is proud of.
