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.
