Hi,
I've built a few ebikes over the last few years , with my last one being a 3kW cyclone middrive one. This was stolen recently so am looking for the next project... was wondering how easy/practical it would be to convert a 125cc motorbike to electric? In the UK a decent suspension mountain bike is circa £1000, and if you fit a strong motor to it, it may need upgrading to cope with the stresses imposed (motorbike rims, tyres etc).
However a non-running motorbike can be had for £300 and will already have good brakes, wheels, tyres etc? Who has converted a low powered motorbike and got it on the road legally?
Many thanks for any responses.
Thanks
Andy
