Hi guys new e-biker from Scotland here

[E-Chris]

Hi everyone my names Chris, I'm from Edinburgh and have just this week got the finishing touch to my ebike converted btwin mountain bike and that was a battery.
I have been working on a tight budget and as such got the cheapest kit I could find which is a 250w geared rear hub motor, this is fitted to my b-twin hard tail and it rides great with the kit.

Now my eyes are opened to the posibilites of an e-bike I would really like to build an overpowered BBSHD full suspension fun bike, or maybe even a coaxial mid drive from cyclone.. one can only dream for the time being!

I know the bag is meant to be a seat bag but I dont like it there and am planning to change it asap, I am currently carrying my battery in a bag too

And where does the battery go when you're riding?

 

[E-Chris]

I carry it on my back with a wire running down into the little bag, its only a small 10ah battery I have at the minute too.
