A coincidence, there is a £1,000 ebike showed up on Aberdeen FB today and my mind went straight to towed trailer and panels. Max those miles per kWh!
This one

Far cheaper to buy a used bike and fit a Chinese conversion that way you can avoid the speed limitations, if you're off road of course. The conversion is fairly simple and quick.

Show us? Much appreciated
My back wheel is off the Dahon D5 and over to Icmeler yesterday to be fully respoked. Will get it back on our return late July. Could maybe fancy a wee Ebike kit?

If you do go for the crank mounted motor, it means that the motor operates through the gears and uses a lot less power for hill starts and general running. My body is letting me down but with the conversion I can clock up the miles with S.W.M.B.O. if fact if I wish I can leave her in cloud of dust.
P.S. If you do it's best to renew the chain at the same time as you put a bit of extra strain on an old chain.

Not impressed how they covered a load of cells (ie, inside the cargo trailer) ..needs some common sense applied, after all this was a news piece about them, & they couldn't be bothered, or do they really not understand the kit they are using?

One from tonight on our walk down for dinner.
Nice Turkish family, even offered me a go but I gently declined with thanks.
£500
But also on special once upon a time at A101 supermarket for £375.

Give them a break Mr Gus, after all their previous boss couldn't even fill in his job application correctly, struggled with the conflict of interest question!
