    e-conversion on a 47year old bike.....

It originally only had 1/8th of a turn and had an index click for the gears, so ive modded it. Now it has a 1/2 turn and no clicks. The...

    e-conversion on a 47year old bike.....

    Although unlikely to be a target to be stolen, I've already got a 36v alarm to go on the bike too, just in case!

    e-conversion on a 47year old bike.....

    Here's my not quite finished conversion to an old Raleigh. Plan was to keep it as un-electric looking as possible, and to be able to cruise at 20-25kph. Weight with the new wheels/tires/motor/battery is 24kg. Total cost so far is $400nz (£200) The new wheel set (28"/700s) were a almost a...
