I completed this trailer last year and you can read about it here:

It's been modified since then and any problems have been ironed out. I have lowered the battery, which has lowered the centre of gravity of the trailer, making handling easier.
It comes all wired up and ready to go. You just have to fit controls etc to your bike.
The battery is a Ping 36V 15AH V2.5LiFePO4 purchased October 2009. Regularly giving me a 50 mile range without too much effort from peddling. Which is quite amazing considering how hilly it is here in Cornwall.
I don't think I've done more than 500 miles on the battery, as for health reasons, I haven't been doing much cycling lately. Nevertheless, the battery has been well maintained and charged regularly. So I'm sure it has got plenty of life left in it yet.
I am including extra bits and pieces as follows:
2x Pedlec sensors.
2x three way speed switches.
Quick release spindle for trailer/bike fitting .
Battery Charger.
Satchel/Bag.
Some wiring instructions.
I have just been adding all the costs up and I am quite amazed how much it all came to new, approximately £650.
I am open to sensible offers (+£330) and even if you don't want a trailer, using the items here, you could easily make up your own electric bike.
