You could always get something really vintage replica and legal, and some tweeds to earn some cash as an extra as well.

I did send some pics of...I'm taking their lack of reply as a polite no lol.

I just started another little project, It's a Chrimbo prezzy for my kids, I've took the good front of a mountain bike an welded it to the good rear of a shopper fold away bike, both bikes have seen better days an where dragged out of a skip but should look a bit better when they've had a coat of drab olive :-)
The idea is fit it with a 24 volt low speed 250 watt motor an get them used to powerd riding.

I spoke to Chris Corker today about the Wall Autowheel and whether it was possible to fit a modern version. He is investigating and will let me know.

Another thing which we touched upon was the use of a pusher trailer. It would probably mean the bike being registered as a trike unless the wheel diameters were small enough to fall within the "adjacent axle centres" rule. Do it that way and you can have a 4kw diesel registered as a moped.

All done, a really quick project really, the motor an gubbins went on really easy in the end but could easy have been a disaster cos they are delicate electrical components, mix that with 24v an no instructions....I was lucky !
Heres my little man Archie, he cant reach the floor when sitting on it yet :lol: ...maybe next year :roll:

Yeah mate proper quite, mines the cheapo brushed motor an it does whirr along but they do a brushless version, would that motor even make a whirr ?
 
I know mate, I did consider TRYING to turn the vid the right way around half way through....but me head had a short circuit trying to figure it out, I stopped when smoke started coming out me ears ! Much easier to sack the camera man lol
 
Very well done! I am still considering building an electric bike and your build is but another example to me of why I should build one.
Your camera man did an excellent job, just teach him which way is up, no big deal.
