As i have picked up a lot of inspiration here from you chaps over the pond i thought it only fair to show my own effort that i made last year.

3 x 12V batteries and controller in the fake tank and brushless hub motor in the rear wheel.

Nice job. Is it all wired up? I don't see any wires except the one under the L chainstay. What do you have for brakes?

It is all wired up, i ran the cables through the frame exiting just in front of the pedal crank. The hub brake took a while to find, no rear brake though. This picture shows the brake more clearly.

Geez... I'm not allowed anywhere near that bike lol, but I likes it! What's it's approximate range?
 
nice lookin bike , the boardtracker style tanks are so perfectly suited for a battery setup , i think we,ll be seeing a lot more bikes like this
 
Lovely looking bike. Really pro looking.
Check the temp of the controller when you go for a ride. If it gets hot- find a way to get air to it.
 
Thanks for the positive comments chaps, the bike was built on a budget just to keep me amused in the evenings, the frame was salvaged from the tip and new tubes cut and brazed in to suit and i made the tank (fortunately it does not need to hold fuel or i would have been in trouble). The Motor is only 200/250W the legal maximum in the UK and is no flying machine. The range should be around 20miles i think, though it all depends how much you use the pedals. I truth i have hardly ridden it and will be looking to sell it to find something else to make. The only drawback with this arrangement is with the batteries in the tank it does make the bike quite top heavy.

The "tip" is what we in the states call the "dumpster" right? And I am amazed that the UK limited you to only 250w. I guess you would just have to adapt your riding style to compensate for the top heavy weight balance. Still, your riding in style on that bike.........LOL
