I have been on some of them as well but not for a good few years I have not put the bike on the scales but the bike is light real light but you are right this thing is going to double the weight of the bike an then some I fitted the Motor/wheel in tonight an it must be three-quarters the weight of the original bike and I still have the controller an Battery to go I know it will have the power it's the width of the tires an digging in I'm thinking about if this flops in the real sticky stuff then I might try putting it on a fat bike with 4 inch wide tires I have see they can be had new for under the ton plus some spokes an a wheel rebuild but you pays in run time power an drag with the bigger tires

I have lost you email address give it to me in a priv message an I will send you all paths GPX Devon then just over lay it on Earth then the Trf Devon GPX on top of that your eyes will light up

So after a hard Week of working on the bike in the workshop the new/old bike is ready to see the light of day.............. well it was not a hard week really it took about 3 hours to do an hour of that was trying to get the bloody crank pedal off the non drive side to fit the sender for the speedo and assist had the right puller but stripped the threads out pulling the bastard off had to resort to gas torch an real big hammer but she is finished now I'm just awaiting the Battery what should be hear Tuesday Wednesday it's being custom made for me at 60v 18amp an should give the bike about 25-30 miles without any pedalling at all an 60 miles if you put some effort in as well

Martyn - that looks tremendous, well done.

Are you sure you couldn't get a TTR lump in there?  Did you try beforehand? 

No - really well done, fantastic effort. I hope it works well for you and gives you pleasure.

Martyn

I did think of a new bike but the same sort of quality model out of the Trek range today is £1000 plus so put it with the cost of the electric kit parts out of reach of my hands in my pockets she's a nice old bike an strong light and the best of parts that could be put on a bike back in her day. Will take some pic's out side today she looks better in the sun

Nope - the UK spoilsport regs say:

Its electric motor:

• must have a maximum power output of 250 watts
• should not be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph

Good work Martyn! Makes me think I ought to dig my ebike out and go for a bimble over Woodbury Common - an absolute paradise for mountain bikers and about 10 minutes from me
