As the update blog is added to the pix will eventually pushed off the page to archives so thought I'd add a gallery of completed bikes so anyone can see examples of just what can be done with bike conversions. Hopefully it will give people some ideas as to their options.

Jim's Bike: New Merida Big 7 20 MTB. For health reasons Jim needed some ride assistance to get back out on the trails and riding again. This torque motor kit with 10.4 AH battery on a very nice MTB frame should do the trick nicely. A easy conversion with speed and off road capability.
' hi Brent,
Just thought to give you an update on my bike
Your retrofit to my bike has been truly awesome. Have just completed my first 100k'''s at an average speed of 18kph.
There have been some significant climbs in this total which I would have been unable to attempt, without the electric assist.
So overall a big thank you for your prompt attention to detail for the whole transaction
with regards,

Max's Avanti Blade 4. Torque Motor and 11.6 AH battery. Very lightweight road bike.
It presented a few install problems with the Bottom Bracket and Rear wheel spacing being very tight. We found a solution with a custom made torque bracket which worked extremely well.

Hi Brent
Thank you once again for retrofitting my commuter/sport bike to a sleek and quick e bike.
Have had 2 rides on the bike now and I am very happy with how the bike has turned out.
Yesterday I did a 63km ride, the majority of the ride was in eco mode only using tour and speed mode on the steeper climbs. Because I conserved the battery by riding in eco mode I found that when I finished I still had 3 bars left.
Would be interesting to see how far I could go till the battery runs out, with smart battery use I would imagine that 80km+ should easily be achievable maybe even as much as 100km?
Did a shorter ride today 32km and averaged 26.5km per hour in wet and windy conditions. Intend to do an effort ride soon just to see what sort of speeds I can achieve.
The thing I am most happy about is the boost you get when hill climbing, my hill climbing speed has doubled, where I used to struggle up the hills at 10-12km per hour I now fly up at 20km+ per hour with a smile on my face.
Thanks again.
Cheers Max
