Hi Folks,
The Tongsheng mid motor conversion of my old Specialized MTB is performing well, thanks to all the help I got from you lot. I now have another project in mind - to put a motor onto this chopper bike. I'd favour the Tongsheng motor again, simply because I'm familiar with it. I'd use the Hailong battery I already have. Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

What a mad looking bike! Was it owned by Dennis Hopper or Peter Fonda? What is it exactly? Have you got a link? What's it like to ride long distance? Have you got a bigger photo? You'd be able to fit a gigantic triangular-ish battery in that frame...

It's a Giant Stiletto. Apparently, only about 400 were made. They're pretty sought-after as bases for ebike conversions. Very unusual to find one that's completely unmodded.

I think that a Janis Joplin Porche-esque paintjob would suit it well
