Try googling Ecolux hurricane,think its the same bike.Also try Strong gts as it was sold in the US as that.Couple of interesting build threads on the endless sphere forum,Excelsior/strong GTS cromotor build and strong GTS fast road commuter.

The black one suffered a couple of frame breakages,fixes shown on the es thread.Some bikes had cast wheels.

D Day today.Batteries delivered promptly but had to wait till today ,working,to replace into battery case.Charged up I headed to shed with everything crossed.Popped battery on turned key and hey presto full charge reading.Out into road to get used to extra weight of e bike.Operated thumb throttle and could not believe how rapid and smooth bike was.Back to shed to swap battery over to it's twin and got the same result.Well pleased!

As I was unsure if the bikes worked went down the lead acid way to keep down costs.3 x 12 volt 14ah from vbat £118. Will think about lithium for second bike.Thanks for your interest D8ve.
