That's nice, is it new or just extremely well looked after?

That's actually recent, the hub motor modern. Here's a really old one, the Humber electric tandem from 1897:

Hi this picture is fantastic,

yes it is a bit of a barn conversion, i guess you could call it. It was a french 1960's- 70's bike frame set, i added wooden mudguards and chain guard made of oak (natural carbon fibre:). Added new leather saddle, bar tape and rapped leather around the battery (so it becomes part of the bike). comfortable sit up and beg ridding position without the had work.

That was a great job, I think it looks good.
