    How to carry a 2nd / extra battery ...

    Yes, there's 2 wide velcro straps underneath and one at the front. I tend not to put too much heavy stuff in the side pockets, but to be honest once a battery is in the lower compartment it doesn't move about. I have a bungee I put across the bag onto the rack if I'm filling it up

    Where would you recommend buying e-conversion kits from?

    I purchased a BBS01B 250w from Greenenergy on Aliexpress, shipped from the UK in Jan. No tax to pay, arrived quickly, I think they have a warehouse in the UK. Even came with a free headlight and Bafang spanner/tool. I think I paid about £270 at the time for the 44T and 500c display kit
