    Hello all I am looking to build a destricted bike with a 1000w-1500w motor and a big battery (48v-60v, 20-30amp). Most of the bike shops I've contacted are either collection only (and are far away from my town, Hull) or they only offer road-legal e-bikes and don't/won't do custom jobs. Is...

    Regular or Fat e-bike?
