High powered DIY eBike MSVA build part 25 - She's alive!
This is my 3rd build which is now an e-motorbike and no longer a normal e-bike.
It's going to have number plates because I'm putting it through the MSVA.

You get to see my (sometimes) daily progress and some very 'juicy' and uncut bits that I daren't show here. Also, you'll get my support if you support me!
There's a reason why I'm building it with a removable batter - WEIGHT! Carrying a pushbike up 2 flights of stairs is bad enough but when it weighs in excess of 40kg and you're in your 50's, it really does take its toll.
I won't be listing prices as they change dramatically with China.
