Details of previous conversions

A rear wheel 1500w hub motor with a large 20Ah battery. This required finding a frame big enough to take the battery. We used a 26in wheel to lower the bike height.

A front wheel Voilamart 250w kit on a Decathlon Roclkrider ST100 (a larger frame than the 340). The battery fitted onto the water bottle mounting points.

This was a Dutch style backpedal brake bike that the owner wanted to keep looking "distressed" (to avoid it being stolen!). The bungees added to the effect. 250w Front CSC kit with a boxed removable 10Ah pannier battery that someone could sit on.

A 250w Voilamart front wheel kit. Customer wanted the same battery as his wife's so he had the option to take 2 batteries if he went on his own.

250w Yose Power front wheel kit and 15ah pannier battery. Had to make engineering adjustments to front forks and pedals to get kit to fit.

A 250w/500w Rear wheel Crenex kit for mostly offroad use where there is an advantage in having rear wheel drive.

250w Voilamart kit. Had to use a different pannier to fit. Also fixed the front pannier.

A front wheel 250w hub motor on a bike with a rear frame and disk brakes. We left the original brake/gear mechanism. The seat had to be low so we weren't able to fit the battery under the seat.

A front wheel 250w hub motor on a Decathlon Rockrider 340 with 26in wheels. I also added a rear bracket to tow a trailer. I also added a GPS tracker and USB charging point.

A 250w front wheel Voilamart kit. The customer wanted to be able to carry a passenger, so we fitted a 13amp hour removeable battery with pannier, cushioned seat and footpegs. The battery itself had an integrated rear light.

A 250w Yose Power front wheel kit. The standard Yose Power bag did not fit so we swapped them around with another bike.

A 250w Yose Power front wheel kit. The bike has drum brakes so no way to fit brakes to front wheel (customer was happy with this!)

250w front wheel Voilamart. Had to replace the front hydraulic brake with a mechanical brake calliper to get it to fit.

Ladies Trek with 250w Yose kit and 15ah battery mounted on rear pannier.

A Voilamart front wheel 250w hub motor on a step through frame. We had to fix rusted front forks. 15 amp hour battery.

A 28in wheel meant I used a "carbonspeedcycle" motor and controller. The 10Ah battery is removeable. The customer already had a pannier, but it needed to be raised with a wooden block.

A 250w front wheel Yose Power kit with 15ah battery. Controller behind saddle.

Another 250w Yose Power kit with 15ah battery. The controller is in a pouch behind seat as nowhere else to fit it.

A 250w front wheel Yose Power kit. Battery mounted to water bottle lugs.

This is our test/demo bike that uses Aldi power tool batteries. The wheel is a 26in Voilamart and it has pedal assist fitted. The bike was £10 off eBay!
