Great build and very interesting to follow and its good to see all of the problems you have overcome and hope the bike goes as well as it looks.

Hi and welcome, you sound very similar to myself as a regular cyclist but sometimes need a hand!!!

Hi Nick, welcome to the forum and I am new here as well and just about to start my first ebike build so I have plenty to learn. Cheers Alan
