Saw the BVM logo on the board and thought you were that way. I ride Midlands AMCA.
Is the Scorpa worth the hassle of the conversion? They were never that good, Jarvis just made them look good BITD. A mate bought a climber a couple of years ago expecting it to be amazing but it just wasn't any good really. I would just get a twinshock if you want quirky bike to fettle and ride.

Yea BVM is the nearest dealer, and even they are a drive away.
To be honest it was a stupid idea the £500 it cost me. I didn’t realise til later the amount of work the engine needed. Had it been £200-300 in parts then all good for £800 a beater bike for friends to join me.
Unfortunately already £100 in parts later I find it’s not viable to rebuild. Gonna cost over a grand in parts alone, to make it serviceable. My mistake, live and learn.
If I make back maybe £100-300 of the parts over time, and I’m left with a rolling chassis… that chassis is as good as any to use for an EV.
Of course I’d prefer a modern factory-built EV, but I can’t afford one.

Wiltshire, it was a local club trial and ACU.
The Scorpa easy was bought locally and an absolute wreck on closer inspection. Parting out the engine now while I plan what to use the rolling chassis for.
Got quotes from QS for their EV motor, need to find someone who can make a battery from 18650’s for me.
