Any one give me a name for this bike

A friend has just bought this for £150 second hand. Possibly made a bit much for it, but seems ok.

I am sure this is the same motor as fitted to the Thompson Euro Tourer..that I have played with before..so the motor is BLDC hall effect sensor motor.

But anyone have details of controller or battery voltage..I have not had a chance to get a voltmeter to the pack yet.
Wondering what voltage the controller can possibly take. before it would need upgrading to a bigger controller.

It does not seem to have any PAS. it seems just to be throttle ..was it like that from new? or has the PAS been bypasssed.?

I think it is a Thompson Euro City as review in a to b mag:

Yep, looks like that is it.

Wonder if that controller will take 48 volt?/

I did run one of these motors from the Thompson Euro Tourer with 22 inch wheels, at 100volts with an 18 FET controller, it maxed out at 30mph, so it is a slow wind motor, but good up hills if you can supply it the current.
I eventually fitted my old motor in to a kick scooter in a 16 inch wheel..again at 100volts it was extremely torquey

I agree, I've seen that bike before ages ago! I can remember a company used to sell them online, they were a lot cheaper than other e-bikes at the time, but still quite expensive.. about £600 or something. That's like the proper Chinese-domestic market moped-style that are popular over there eh. Didn't one model have a lead acid battery that went under the seat, or perhaps I'm thinking of something else.

I am thinking that if I can fit a 48 volt ping and a Lyen 6 FET controller it will give it a bit more pep and range. original battery appears to be 6 lead acid 6volt packs
