    As per the title, the build though may take a while as I am quite busy. The tower scaffold has already been up and down twice and will be so a few times more this year and the bees are needing my attention alone without other distractions.

    What ebike conversions have you got in the pipe line for 2020 ?

    My plan if and when I can get around to it is to convert Swizzbee #1 to 48v, #1 has been problematic with the Sram hub gears and motor brush replacement. Though it works I have #2 which is in excellent running order. Two options in mind. 1. Replace the brushed behind the seat motor with a...
