Would this bike be suitable for ebike conversion

I don't see the low step Cube being unsafe to ride at 20 mph or so. It sounds like you have ridden enough bikes to know when you are going too fast. If you mum's Wren feels OK at 17 mph' it is unlikely to become dangerous at 20 mph.

Thanks, the Wren has much poorer brakes than the Cube, however the Wren seems really strongly built, it’s super solid and seems very much like it’s a purposefully built ebike frame, I do find it really ugly though and the battery location very poor for swapping batteries out and the battery seems very huge.

I’ve not seen the Cube in the flesh but their bikes do seem generally very well made, I’m thinking of sticking to a 250w geared hub motor and unresricting it, rather than going for a 500w motor.

Anyway, knowing EBay it will go much higher than I want to pay for it in the last couple of minutes of the auction
