I know what you are saying 'get a bigger motor' right!
Well that will happen in due course.
But I like a challenge.
I found a Bafang 36v 250w motor on gumtree for A$20 nice start, controller $29 ebay, Repco speedlite steel lugged frame and Velocity 700c rim $40 at a swapmeet. etc
So far so good. About $300 and some shed time later this is what was born.
30kph no pedalling. 35kph pedalling and after that I just run out of gears but I love the simplicity. One button throttle, one brake lever and one gear. All up 14kg.
It a blast to ride.
