    Sympathetic conversion ideas for Raleigh Clubman from the 80's

    Thanks for sharing this . Something similar on the Clubman if done well could even enhance the look. The silver front hub would fit in well in proportion and complementing the crank and other chromed parts and the controller could go in the existing bag on mine. As you mentioned adding a...

    Sympathetic conversion ideas for Raleigh Clubman from the 80's

    Hi, when we bought ours actually must have been 5+ years ago I intentionally sought out a model with the suntour hesc torque system after buying the Raleigh Array with it.

    Thanks for sharing, a front wheel motor in silver with a bottle battery or a small friction drive may work best for a little bit of boost and maintaining the look

    Thanks for the replies. It would only be for preserving the knees uphill/ along the straights is fast enough so something lightweight and low power which is unlikely to impact safety of the brakes. The black bag/ bottle could be used to hide some of the electrics

    200km Range Ebike
