I am doing another conversion and want to fit a rack mounted battery so it can be left on and does not need to be carried around (usually they are hidden under panniers) but not sure what to get. It needs to have a plate on it so I can fit it on to the rear rack.
Here are a couple of options

No idea what cells and its an expensive pop if it fails after six months. Then there is this

Not really happy buying on ebay. Alternatively Woosh seem to sell them but not stocked in Cambridge store

A better options in that I can go and talk to them and check the actuall cells they have and some kind of warranty.
I would buy a ready built ladies/stepthrough ebike but want something I can build and maintain myself with a lighter weight motor then convert back to a normal bike of if I want to.
My daugghters EBCO 60 is finally giving up the ghost. Her health (she had M.E.) has really improved since she got the EBCO a few years ago to a point where all she needs is light assist. I think the halls/sensors on the EBCO are on the verge of failing. I have spent ages messing about with the connectors to make sure there is no short or they are not connecting properly but i think the fault is in the motor. I much prefer sensorless three phase wire motors. I spoke to them about a new motor but they wanted £370! The bike has served her well but is so heavy and not nice to pedal with no power. What I like is the rear rack battery which she leaves on. However its only 24v and nearly 4 years old now so I suspect that will fail soon too. The electrics are way too complicated, I want to fit a lighter assist, more free wheeling Tongxin with just a thumb throttle. I prefer to KISS
