MXUS CST:

at £499, the last one (mxus XF08C CST) is the cheapest conversion with 15AH battery. I rode the test bike at Woosh last weekend, the whole bike (Specialized + kit) is very light for a fast e-bike, about 19kgs, thanks to the battery with SDI 2900mAH cells. A bit noisier than my BBS01.

Djsb....from memory I think all the KTM commuter models are low 20 KGs in weight. London Electric Bike Company have one left BH Emotion Neo Race,it's a lovely looking bike and weighs 19kgs. It's also very close in performance to a non assisted bike,a very fast e-bike,I think LEBC have one left on special offer at 1999.00. The battery is quick removeable
My Kudos Secret weighs 18 KGs,I wouldn't want to carry a bike weighing much more than that up flights of stairs

Pity you can't get a bike with S & S Torque coupling

Then I could split the bike in half and carry it up one half at a time. Are ther any custom electric bike builders out there who can also do frames as well? Otherwise I will have to lock my bicycle to my motorcycles outside.

I love my bicycle and don't want to leave it out in the rain. I'd bring them all indoors if I could.

Djsb....how about the M1 Secede split frame bike.
M1-sport technic.de.....I looked at the M1 range at the 2013 Eurobike....the bike is hub drive and German engineered....read into that expensive.
We were offered the UK distributorship for M1 bikes but the market has not yet matured to spend £5k plus on electric bikes.
The bike has SRAM gears,Carbon frame and powerful hub drive.
Interesting bike

I've just sent an email to Kinetics in Glasgow to ask about the feasibility of converting my Galaxy to electric and fitting a Torque coupling (something I've wanted to do for a while anyway). I await their reply with interest.
