Considering an electric conversion on a refurbished Dawes Super Galaxy
Anybody done one? Got any advice.
Front or rear wheel motor?

Its 700c wheels. Thinking of 17Ah frame mounted batteryI used a Cyclotricity 250w front kit but the regulations have changed, you can plug the 'pedal assistance' and 'power level' into mine but now you 'must' fit those parts to be legal whereas I just use a thumb throttle on both my Trike and Maz's Dawes cos they were built up before the changes. It's still a good kit though.
What size wheels has the Super Galaxy got, if it's 700c you'll be OK but they don't do a 27" version.
Oh and I'd get the biggest battery you can fit, probably a 'Rack Mount' one, both of ours have these and they're a 'double decker' rack so the battery fits into a slot and the top is flat to take panniers etc.
I just looked and they may be no longer trading, TBH I got the 1st kit direct and wasn't that impressed by em so bought the 2nd from a shop that stocked the kit.Its 700c wheels. Thinking of 17Ah frame mounted battery
Had no success getting any response from Cyclotricity either by phone or email. Distinctly unimpressed by them
Undecided though about front or rear wheel motor
