I started this build a couple of weeks ago after finding this bike on local council rubbish collection pile.
My first ebike is a 36 volt250 Watt Bafang/ hybrid conversion, which is awesome...but
There was always a plan to build something with a bit more ??s but was notgoing to be anytime soon... until I found this bike
I have access to a good amount of high drain cells, so that takes care of the most expensive component of the build, the battery.
After some research I settled on this kit
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/132103030688
On receiving the kit, first impressions were good, especially for the price!
First jobs were to swap tyre and tube to motor rim, I made sure to use rim tape as there is a fair amount of added weight in the rear hub.
The build is almost complete now. I'll guage interest in this thread before taking the time to share the entire build
