Where does this E-Bike come from?

[Camel]

Hi Folks

Has anybody seen this e-bike ? It is being retailed as the "Big Ego Velo"

The website URL - http://www.bigego.co.za/

The specs are "low-mid range" components. The (250w) rear hub motor is by 8FUN.

What I am really interested in is the frame.

I like the battery position. The down-tube clearance between the front wheel and bottom bracket is just begging for some nasty big AMP chewers!

As a complete kit it is coming out at $1,266.99 USD (Maybe a bit pricey for this level of low end?)
I really would like to just strip it for the frame and put a mid drive solution in!


Otherwise I am considering this for conversion - http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_za/bikes/detail?id=17

Looks like a cookie-cutter e-bike from China... what do you want to know about the frame? It's probably aluminum... but I would venture to say that's the only information you'll find...

Ok - I could not resist and ordered one!

(Placed order last week Wednesday, got delivered Monday last night as promised by supplier)

All neatly boxed, no damages. After removing from the packaging all I had to do was straighten and tighten the handlebars, adjust the seat, screw on the pedals and drop in the battery pack! (Less than 10mins)

Plugged in charger and 30mins later all green.

Pitch black outside and have my 75 year old father in-law whizzing around the garden in stupified amazement!! - :lol:

His first question when he eventually got off was - Are you going to leave it here for a few days? I think I just lost my frame.

I will have a good look at the frame this afternoon and take a few measurements. Still planning that mid drive upgrade.
