Dan, many thanks for your offer but it's not the type of thing I'm looking for.
Thanks guys for all your replies. It seems that the idea of fitting a Panasonic motor to a standard bike is a no-go situation. I certainly haven't got the skills for welding aluminium etc.
Most electric bikes are big and clunky things, fat soft tyres, suspension units, and heavy. Built more for comfort than fast recreational riding with occasional motor assist.
I saw this one.........click attached image file below.
To my idea it is exactly the bike that I am looking for, smart, lightweight, Panasonic motor powered, built more for cyclists than MoPed riders.
Unfortunately, they have overpriced it by fitting a titanium frame.
As my bike (aluminium frame) looks very much like this one I thought I could perhaps save money by converting it to a Panasonic set up.
It now looks like I'll have to buy something already made.
So question time, anybody know where I can buy a cheaper version of this with perhaps an aluminium frame instead of the titanium one?
