I made the mistake of telling my wife I wanted an electric bike and she went off and bought me a bike from a private seller that has a 350w motor and a throttle.
It looks amazing and I had it put together by a local bike shop but now I realise I'm not supposed to ride it.
It's from a company called Mate and is the S version.
I haven't ridden for a few years due to 3 knee ops and I can't wait to get out but daren't risk it as the consequences would result in job loss.
Question is can I replace this motor with a 250w and disconnec the throttle also in the mean time if I took the battery out can I then at least get out and get the wind in my hair.....it's a heavy bike though.
I'm a bit stuck so any answers will be appreciated
