Did Andy mention the 36v 15Ah bag battery that Woosh do (that I think fits into the back of the saddle ?)

@Az. Did one But his down tube looked straight

Yes - I just did a quick google of petrol scooters, they seem very good value compared with electric bikes. There was a new Honda 125 scooter for £2500 max power 9.6Kw, fuel consumption 28 miles per litre ! You seem to get a lot for your money Some of the cheaper brands were less than £1500...

I think that would be more realistic for a viable electric moped that could still be peddled to your destination if you ran out of battery that was registered as a motor vehicle and compliant to the relevant laws . Some sort of fairing would help - 2* 48V 20Ah batteries would give you a range...

No - the motor output on a fat tyre bike (less efficient than a MTB below) to reach 40 mph would need to 2500W, so roughly 3kW from the controller. So that would be roughly 3 * 48V 20Ah batteries (roughly 3*5 kg) for an hour at full power (40mph) - so at 40 mph that would give you a range of 40...

We left the Single Market. That very few of our politicians understood what it was that we left isn't the EUs fault. The Single Market relies on border controls to third countries because they don't have the power to impose, monitor and enforce the single market rules within third countries so...

Yes - the arms are really long and slide - I have had to cut them down before because they were catching on the bottom of the rack - I think they will be long enough. Yes - to be fair that looks very like my first conversion and I had a lot of fun with it, until I got sick with adjusting the...

Well spotted - you can get seat clamps with rack mounting points e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Part-clamp-mount-28-6mm-black/dp/B01NGWI6WZ/

Buy the battery from here ? https://pswpower.com/products/rear-rack-electric-bicycle-battery-48v-10ah-li-ion-e-bike-battery-fits-48v-500w-bafang-tongsheng-tsdz2-246 I think I would go for the 20Ah one for the difference in price They also (unusually) have some 250W rated 700C XF08 (freewheel)...

People on our posh village feedback group often post pictures of "otters" (the pictures are of rats !)

*1000 - it is definitely worth getting some opinions but you can end up in analysis / paralysis. Whatever problems you hit you will overcome and it will be valuable experience

Yes, lots of times over that amount

I've bought lots of stuff from China and not been charged import duty on anything (so far !)

I think I tend towards bags - I think the controller boxes look untidy - but each to their own - 2 identical bikes (front hub conversion) one with controller in the battery bag, one with separate controller box

I tend to put it in a bag, you can stuff any excess cabling in, there are plastic boxes, some people seem to leave them exposed. Put it wherever it fits

That battery cradle doesn't have a controller in. (You can get battery cradles with built in controllers)

It's just the standard "Hailong Max" battery cradle. With a 48v 20Ah battery you ideally need 3 attachment points on the down tube. Lots of posts here how to do it search for rivnuts. You sometimes need to lengthen the slots on the battery cradle

If you wanted a step through frame with disc brakes, there is the Cannondale adventure but they are quite rare https://www.facebook.com/share/14G4wZYNoz6/ There are lots of Carrera crossfire low step bikes with disc brakes that are usually <£100 for a nearly new example. I have converted...
