thxs for the comment, I have to measure the weight and will let you know.
In the meantime, you might enjoy this extract of the original commercial stating that this bike IS heavy, indeed :
I don't always have the grocery carrier on the back, but I took these photos right after a grocery run. All in all, I'm very happy with how it turned out!
Here is my 2013 Merida Matts
It didn't see one second of its life as a 'non e-bike' :lol:
Straight from the shop to :-
Mac 6T didn't see that many Kms (1000 maybe?) kinda wishing i got the 8T or 10T. All that top-end speed wasn't much use and quite unsafe!! (hit 40mph easily with EM3EV 50v triangle pack)
Swapped to 48V 10ah pack and limited controller to 22A to preserve battery and triangle pack moved to another project
and now:-
Loving the mid drive - running the 42T Leckie chain-ring - still plenty of top end speed (50km+) but motor really doesn't like traveling over 40km or so for long periods(drawing over 1000W continuously at 45km/hr according to the CA even with pedaling ) Motor was very warm/hot after 20km + ride mostly top speed cruising
Not that it's exactly "done" yet, but it "looks" done now, compared to this post:

It'd be neat to find one that doesn't hold water, just so I can cut holes in it and use it to put around hte headlight stuff. Or a smallish one that would fit below the headlight, over the front fender.
Made box from fiber glass. Putted in pack from 24S 20Ah A123 prismatic cells. Connected in our community made BMS via bluetooth connectivity to phone. Used Kelly controller and Cromotr. Waiting for a ride Couple photos
It is custom bike. Start from drawing in actual size by Ai. And then send out for water jet cutting or milling. fork, swing arm, rim & tire i bought it from honda MSX parts.
Some parts from milling & water jet cut
Battery & controller
Brake hose is too short, I'll cut and resizing it. May be draw a new disc make it wider and send it to laser cut use stainless steel 1.2 mm.
thxs for sharing
I find ur English OK, what about removing that saddle and use the back frame instead - looks too small for me anyway
You should probably start a built thread because I don't think this one is the right place to post built under construction
