Got an old clockwork bike gathering dust?

[Simoto123]

Here’s what I did to mine(look closely) French lift-Mtb system. Really really good fun. If you’re looking for a playful ebike I can recommend this set-up. An old bottlerocket and fifteen hundred quid. Throttle controlled assistance(you have to pedal). Totally illegal and an Explosive backpack in the deal

, but hey.

Where's the battery?

Hi, In a backpack with a quick release umbilical. only 7lbs extra on bike so hardly noticeable increase.
bought the levo on the strength of it. Might build another based on a demo DH bike.

The reason for the name being the dodgey lithium battery in there?

same battery chemistry as the levo but still a bit worrying. Also a big lump in a backpack. You forget it all while youre rolling though. Bike is light, nimble and fast.
i think any old v10 or demo can be a perfect self shuttle with one of these fitted. You can return the bike to standard in about half an hour taking your time.
