Hi All,
I recently converted a Montague Paratropper to an ebike, thread here :
http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/montague-paratrooper-cyclotricity-conversion-pics.28048/
Now the bike without the motor and battery was 32lbs so I am guessing with the battery and motor it's now around 40lbs maybe more, which isn't a problem because I have the motor but is there any tips for getting some weight off the bike?
I have also replaced the tyres with the below just to avoid punctures as replacing the rear is a pain in the A***:

Carbon handlebars, crankset, derailleur's, seatpost etc etc etc do these actually make any noticeable difference? If so what do you recommend.
Original spec of the bike is here:

Any help appreciated.
