That is a very nice looking saddle. If mine was step through I would grab me one. On mine I have to have a seat with a medium size nose and pushed back so I can get my leg over as my issues are short legs/long torso, arthritis in hips and 90% lumbar fuse. It would probably have been better if I got a step through but on the brand I bought they did not have the power mine has and I do like a little power on the hills etc.

A guy in 2018 brought me his bike to make into a step-thru. He asked me to remove the toptube.
it lasts forever though at least haha

I thought it was just a giant quarter.
On the other hand miniature quarters are used for selfies on dating sites.

Not a kit, complete new bike. Rear hub motor. Electrics made in Taiwan by CT Green Tech.

It sure makes installation easy. Yes, I have worked on these. The controller is in the bottom of the battery holder and the display, On/Off, power level is on top of the battery. The cells go flacid sagging to nothing within 18-months to three years, requiring another $420 battery. Sometimes both a new battery and holder/controller are required because of updates. This is a newer one, maybe '24 or '25. Even if you stroke it with feathers and play Luther Vandross and take a little blue pill, nothing.
I went to buy a beer today and got carded. I said I was born 09/09/99. The guy said I was lying. I said, 'Then I am old enough.'
I want to show my most recent bike but it does not work. It is beautiful but crazy. It has a faulty controller and the new one arrives Thursday.

No, separate display control panel. I already have 18 months on mine. This is not Chinese crap.

Okay, it looked like another system then.
Here is a 2007 Specialized Crossroads commuter, comfort, gravel bike that I just made electric. The display wire is through frame.

So today I think have the final configuration. I moved the saddle as far forward as it would go for a bit more upright riding position which the Brooks was designed for and it feels more comfortable. Second I put the tote box back on as it makes loading and unloading much easier as well as carrying more in a protected manor. Have about 85 miles on it so far and enjoying the riding.

Here is a Kona UTE compact cargo mid-step. It has an 11-50 cassette and an 85Nm mid-drive. Look at the top of the battery. It is used to deliver packages of orders to UPS everyday. The owner uses a pedestrian bridge over a freeway to a void cars and lights. That ride takes 6 minutes. In a car it would be 25 minutes of traffic each way.

That is a beauty....I would like to make a custom center stand for my M1. I sent a message to Aipas to see if they could help me get a centerstand that would work with this bike.
Hopefully I can find something that would work. I tried one from Amazon but sent it back as stowed position clearance was a problem.
