hello all
I have been considering getting an electric bike but are mainly put off by the weight of these bikes, cost of replacement batteries, lighter bikes are very expensive.
whilst looking on ebay there are convertion kits that use 80cc or 48cc 2 stroke motorcycle type engines that fit two 26" wheel size mountain bikes fuel tank on crossbar ,engine mounted above front chainring.
modest price about £120 +pp
however I cannot find a uk stockist and wonder if this convertion is legal in the uk, or liable to road fund licence etc
thank you all for any info
