Hello,
I am seeking a bike shop in the region of Gatwick airport or Brighton, one that is familiar both with recumbent trikes and with installation of Bafang mid-drive motor systems.
I am planning a several months tour in Britain, Ireland and Europe beginning at the end of April.
I am preparing to bring a Catrike 559 to England with me, boxed for the flight, to have it set up and fitted there with a Bafang 250W mid-drive, to meet UK and EU requirements.
I am looking for a shop to set up the Catrike and to install a Bafang mid-drive system, soon after April 27.
I am asking for recommendations for a shop in the Gatwick or Brighton region that has experience and skill to do this work well.
Thank you.

I live close to Gatwick and there is no one that familiar at all that I know of , the nearest best specialist is Darren @Brighton ebikes. BBS conversion to all types of bikes inc bents etc are his bread and butter, he knows them inside out.

Thank you. Can you reply with a direct email address for Darren? I’ve sent two emails to Brighton ebikes and left a phone message, with no reply yet.

Thanks, all, for your referrals to Brighton E-bikes. I’ve now received a reply, and it appears that the project is underway. - John
