    Need advice where to put battery on frame.

    you'd have to measure it of course but maybe something like this would fit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002648842516.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.4.5a5174cePogAIS

    Step through/low step bike £1500

    At £769 that's a pretty solid good value entry in the world of ebiking and would make a decent commuter bike for sub 20 mile round trip commutes. As you say standard Bafang china parts so easy and cheap to fix, and elsewhere a good level of componentry for the money. Add a rack/bag, lights and...

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    Sadly not guerney, they are back up to about £380 on Aliexpress with no discount codes worth mentioning, so at that price you can go to Woosh and get them. Glad I got one as a spare at £230 back when it was on offer/price glitch, but if I ever see another deal like that will post it here

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    another vote here for a BBS01b 36v 250w kit, and a smallish hailong battery as I think it'll be more robust and reliable than the Tongsheng mid drives
