Thought I'd bounce a conversion idea off the guys in this thread to see if you think my idea is nuts enough. My current bike is a raleigh shopper with front hub. 20mph for 15 miles with no peddle assistance which D8evh built for me. It has been a huge success and is probably equally as...

Hello Forum, I just wanted to update everyone on the final result and to thank d8veh for his expertise and work on the bike. The result has totally exceeded my expectations and can’t thank d8veh enough for converting my old shopper into this absolute beauty. The frame itself actually lends...

Already sent you a PM! Would be great to get you involved thanks again.

Found a blog about someone who did a similar job with details of what he had to do... http://www.veloscene.net/2011/09/announcing-electric-twenty.html

Ok you might have me sold then D8veh! I am new to all this so just getting my head around the logistics of everything. I actually don't mind having used stuff as long as its neat and tidy and actually works!

That is a very kind offer thank you. I am going to check out their customised Brompton in-store as it is pretty local to me and see how it looks and drives. Will make an assessment after that and report back. Cheers!

Thanks guys! The bike is exactly the same as in this picture: I want to strip it all back to its bare essential and keep the gears, so yes the hub will go on the front wheel. I would put the battery on the back rack that already exists. I have just had a little tinker to remove some of the...

I am just being nostalgic because I like vintage stuff and thought it would be a fun project and something a little different. But obviously I would want to keep the cost as low as possible. Cwah feel free to introduce yourself :)

Thanks for your input. I should mention that I am based in London UK so ideally I'd want to find someone who can do the customisation here!

This one below looked like it might have been a good option because they convert it for you... but as you can see the battery is rather large and there seems to be an excessive amount of wiring coming from the handle bars to the battery...

Hi there, I have an old Raleigh shopper and would like to achieve a similar result to this: http://raleightwenty.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=15280060 Apparently he used a hilltopper hub: The hub info is at the clean republic site (http://www.electric-bike-kit.com/hill-topper.aspx)...
