Ok so here is the running total so far -

£100 - Bike, hydraulic brakes, front suspension
£100 - Yose Power 48V 13A Battery
£60 - Bafang G020.250.DC 13 Motor on a 27.5" rim
£77 - 17A KT Controller, throttle, brake sensor, LCD3 display etc

£27 - Schwalbe Marathon plus MTB Tyre
£4 - Schwalbe innertube
£3 - Schwalbe rim tape

£23 - 8 Speed Cassette
£5 - Brake pads
£4 - Throttle Cable
£10 - New Handlebars
£14 - Hyraulic brake fluid kit
£2 - Rivnuts

Grand total = £429


I was getting a bit antsy last night so I powered on the kit just to check it is working. All good so far! Annoying having to wait for this rim tape but it's not the end of the world

Just need to buy some sort of pouch for the controller and give the whole thing a clean.

Looking forward to the image of the finished bike. If I have bits I sell on that I don't need I tend to put those in the final calculation as well as a negative but I don't know if you have any such bits. Maybe the original rear wheel. It might fetch £20 locally with a bit of a clean and the original handlebars for a fiver maybe.
