Thanks for the suggestion, Hillhater. I'm hoping i won't need to fit panniers because the back side is already really heavy with the mxus. I was able to retrofit a band brake to the disc mount on the Mxus. I just couldn't find any place to mount the caliper for the disc brakes so went with...

Hahaha! I wonder if the CA v4 will have that feature build in.

Because it's a 1953 NSU Quick52 first and an ebike second. :)

Thanks! @agniusm - Thanks, I agree that the square batt box clashes with the curves of the bike. I made it that way mainly because i'm not sure how much space the batteries will take up. Once i have the cells on hand, i can design a better looking batt box. :) I did have another made, this...

Got the Mxus and Lyen controller on hand to mock up on the bike. I made a fiberglass cast of the NSU tank so i don't have to cut into the vintage original. It's just basically a shell. Rough finish for now. I've attached the controller to the frame with U-bolts and the tank shell goes over...

Thanks! At first i was a bit hesitant about the trade, thinking there was no way i could find/afford the correct engine parts and do a proper restoration. But then i found this site and i realized that i was basically free from the restrictions of a proper resto job. :) Though, since this is...

Thanks! Since this is my first EV, i think i'll try something simpler than a Left side mid drive set up for now. I've got a Mxus 3000W hub motor and a Lyen controller on the way. Hopefully it will be enough for this project. :) Here's the bike, awaiting parts. Just add a chain and some...

Hi! Very new to the forum and to EVs in general. I'm mainly into vintage and antique bicycles and have absolutely no motorcycle/moped/scooter experience or EV knowledge. I acquired this 1953 NSU Quick 52 moped/light motorcycle ( without an engine) in a trade. I would very much like to...
