E-Bike for Coast to Coast ride

If the outer part of the puller won't screw into the crank arm then, yes you need a different puller.

When you've got the right puller don't forget to make sure the inner part is well unscrewed before you screw the outer part fully into the crank arm. If you don't do that the outer will only screw a few threads into the crank arm, and when you go to pull you will strip the threads of either the puller, or the crank, or both.

Yep, thanks, the outer part was fully screwed in, but the inner part screwed all the way in without hitting anything !

You might be able to screw in a suitable bolt to take up the space between the pusher of the crank puller and the taper shaft. I expect you know this better than I do as you have pulled off more cranks than me.

This Sheldon Brown page covers some of the differences that used to be commoner in the past.

You have an Octalink type crank, so you need a puller for Octalink cranks:

Pardon our interruption...

So finished now, motor fitted in without needing any washers. Not sure with the wider MTB bottom bracket that there would have been room for the locknut if a washer was needed. Had to use a rear rack battery not enough space on the downtube. 250w rated TSDZ8 motor from @Woosh

Marathon 365 GT tyres (all season, all weather with level 6 puncture protection). @saneagle Rockbros saddle

Donor bike was a 20 year old Gary Fisher Tass gs disc 9 speed with hydraulic disc brakes and magnesium air forks
