My version which I'm still working on (with help).
Thought I would post some photos before I have to put racks on for carrying stuff (which I'm told will ruin its looks) and increase weight (now ~24kg):
Donor bike: (second hand)
http://www.norco.com/archives/2011/?id=judan-belt
Changed:
Tyres: Maxxis Grifter 29x2.5" for road use
Motor: Falco 1000w with internal torque sensor and throttle
Battery: 48v 11.6ah
Single speed belt (115t) drive: 55t (front) x 22t (rear)
Disc brake spacers: 3
Longer disc brake bolts.
The attachment on the seat post is for a trolley/trailer.
The saddle pack is for a spare inner tube& tyre levers-it will be a pain!
The console is a big big and fiddly-but hopefully that will improve.
Speeds so far: quite fast, still testing. Range: I can peddle it back home, again beta phase.
Yes I know I have long legs(high seat post), a short torso (small frame) and the disc brake rotors don't match up (forgot to put the matching one back on).
Big thanks for BenMoore for help with the spacing, wheel build, soldering together and Falco (I will still have more questions for you!)
