Hi everybody,
I am glad I have found this forum. I am currently converting a Sparta Ion DTS due to a broken battery and a complex electronic system.
I found my items through Ali express and I am now installing the components. I have a number of questions, so I will start searching for answers first before I will post any questions. Hope I will find the information I need. Regards, John

It's always best to ask before buying the stuff, but if you've already ordered or got it already, we'll do our best to help.

You are right, I did some study before I bought the components and had good advice from a Dutchmen who did several conversions of this type of bike. You tube was very helpful.

Hi and welcome, folk here are not so formal, so off the cuff, or from the hip questions don't offend, and no "have you read my essay on ebike repair twice before asking??" responses..

And probably quite a bit of interest on how your going to progress too. What Dark Arts did you learn from this elusive Dutchman ;) A build thread might be fun?

My first thoughts are" That's unfortunate", but I'm still full of hope for you. Maybe the Dutch guy knows a lot. The YouTube videos normally make me cringe, though I'm sure there must be a few good ones out there. Don't listen to me though, I'm just an arrogant smart&ss, and a bully according to some.
