Pkay:
The parts have turned up from Golden Motor delivered to the door.
Motor, controller and battery.
Great service.

I am still waiting on pullys and belts from Gates (USA).
It turns out the Australian importer and there distributor do not carry any stock.
Why bother using the Australian importer I ask?

Bikemad:
I suppose, if they didn't have to import it, they would not be called an "Australian importer". Perhaps you should have searched for an Australian stockist instead?  ::)

It's disappointing that you don't have the belt and pulleys, as I was really looking forward to seeing a video of you riding it tomorrow.  :D

On a more serious note, did you also order a twist throttle from GM? And I hope that you didn't forget to order GM's USB programming cable to enable you to adjust the controller's parameters.  ???

I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures of this all going together nicely.  ;)

P.S. You might want to take a look at Gary's interesting video showing what's inside the 20Ah and 30Ah battery packs.
I'd want to put a bit more packing inside to ensure all the cells remain securely in place when they're subjected to trials riding forces.  ;)

Pkay:
The battery is in at last.
It required opening the battery to remove the handle and add a new bracket.
Also the controller has found a place nice and high up.
The 6mm MDF is used to facilitate design and is replaced with aluminium plate.

Going has been slow, but it is happening...

Pkay:
Motor is now in place. Well hidden and at the center.
Only a few weeks now. Pully idler shaft is next.

Pkay:
Bike is undergoing trial testing.
It rides well easily jumping a 40cm log.
Gearing is about right.
Still need to work on a few things.
Will do a youtube video in  a few weeks :-)
