Heya all, I have been toying with the thought of a e-bike for a while, so I decided to pull my finger out and build one.
I didnt want it as noticable as my HT. More a bike no one would give a second look at, and I think I have that.
It just runs a legal 200W hub motor, I can get 25-30km/hr out of it so it isnt a speed monster like my HT. But its stealthy and silent, and a good start I think into electrics. I have already decided to upgrade it to a 900W 36v system that runs through the bike gears that will give me the speed I want. But as I said its a good start
The most interest in the bike is the lighting system. I followed the idea's here.

And it works brilliantly. I used a red LED downlight at the rear and a 20W 36° Halogen at the front. The light output is phenominal compared to the usual bike lights.
I have a 50W 10° spotlight as well I just havent fitted it yet.
Anyway heres a few pictures, let me know what you think
