As some may have seen, this was my first Yuba conversion... from sad derelict front motor project that I adopted from a guy to long range battery carrying rear motor beast.
I love the way the frame handles enough that I jumped on it when a second one came up on craigslist near me.. a steal at $200!
So that one sat around waiting as I toyed with mid drive options, but decided that the mid drive broke up the lines of the back end the way it tapers to the small back wheel.
Then as usual, some guy heard I like broken down scooters, a second motor landed in my lap recently, so the building got serious!

Thats all the leftovers lashed on and heading for recycling. About 70lbs of junk (and just keeping the front long enough to strip the tire off)
Then it was off to my shop for some metal work on the back end to get the slightly wide motor in..
