Bargain weirdly useful and at times indispensable tiny adjustable wrench. There's always a tiny nut to hold down, when nothing else will do. Can't count how many PCs I've fixed with this, and panicked the other day because I had momentarily lost track of mine, when I needed to bolt the new horn to my:

...rather than solder this time, because it's less messy when removing the horn. So I ordered another tiny wrench in case it happens again, as it will because it's do damned tiny - I paid £1.75, but subsequently and all of the sudden the price has shot up to a staggering and outrageous £2.78!

Only useful for Shimano equipped bikes, and even £90 might sound expensive for a bargain, but usually £140 or so.

4.6A compared to 1.8A for the usually supplied charger, very useful upgrade if you want to recharge during lunch breaks on long rides.

The first thing I always look at is the rear dropout. and just looking closely, I wonder would it take a rear hub motor ?

Dont know, but i was thinking more along the lines of a mid drive unit.

It's mainly that it has good offroad geometry, 4130 chromoly, and can fit modern components. So you can build a capable offroad Emachine

If you want to fit a mid motor to an MTB, the first thing you should look at is the BB and chai wheel clearance. They say max chainwheel size is 34T, and it looks pretty close to the frame behind it, so I would say that the chance of one fitting is low.

Picture below of BB/rear chainstays . Those big circles are unusual and I think would get in the way/ruin the chainline, so you would need to carefully measure.
