Hiya Eddio
I have never been what you would call conventional and have always designed and built many things that are just right for me so to pick up a trade bike and fit a motor and ride down the road with a smile on your face has got to be a result.(well done)
I have found that fitting my Oxygen battery under the crossbar just balances my Aurora and my Evans kit bike nicely.
Getting back to bikes, when I converted my old Evans to an E bike and rode it for the first time I was blown away with having a light bike and assistance. There is no doubt that a light bike is a joy to ride for sure. Having said that (I keep the Evans on my van for outings because it`s just so light to lift in and out) horses for courses comes to mind.
For riding around the local lanes I just love my Aurora (for obvious reasons) it just feels so stable and now that I have removed the rear battery (unless I need the range) the balance is superb. I weigh in at around 12st now so even if the Aurora is a touch heavy my weight keeps down the total.
I must summoned the courage to fit the Aurora rear wheel into the Evans one day
can you imagine how that bugger would fly along??
Anyway, enjoy that bike and I`m sure it will get well used when you go abroad this year.
