Hi There,

I am thinking of converting my old Honda CB250 into an electric bike with the electric motor in the rear hub and the batteries will be stored where the current engine sits.

I am looking to do this for a number of reasons:-

To be even greener (yes I know power stations burn fossil fuels...)
Currently in London, I think that electric bikes can park in Westminster for free and use the electric charging points (TFL are looking at a consultation document re motorbike usage in London)
No annual road tax
No fuel charges and even less maintenance costs
My round trip commute is approx 28 miles so a bike that can do 60 miles before charging would be great

Has anyone converted a pick from petrol -> Electric ?
Any tips /advice would be great

Cheers
Ben

Hey Ben.

I have absolutely NO experience with making an electric bike! I think you've a lot to learn but it should be great fun learning it.

I'd be interested in how you get on. If you do get anywhere email me on renwithnell@hotmail.com!
