  • You can get the bits individually, remember seeing drive unit/engines available on ebay.de, but only to domestic market addresses, you'd have to use a forward shipping company to get one. Battery and wiring parts are much easier.
    My understanding is the European directive that covers e assist bikes means that unless you are a registered OE supplier/manufacturer and have some kind of traceability they don't want folk buying and installing kits themselves. Every proper e bike I've seen retailed in UK has a little sticker on it stating that it conforms.

  • Hmmm.

    Yeah I can get bits but not the motor... one on eBay for £450.

    But this frame is 20” wheeled.

    Will the motor / system detonate if set up for 26/700 and used on 20”?

    If you get a Intuvia or a Kiox, you can set the wheel circumference manually which will keep the speedo and odometer straight. If you get a Purion, you'll need to convince a Bosch shop to correct it in the diagnostic software or suffer the motor cutting out before you reach the actual speed cap.
