That's absolutely amazing Valy, I am genuinely impressed with your workshop setup! (especially the home-made tube notcher and the frame jig).
It really does demonstrate what can be achieved on a small budget with a bit of ingenuity and determination.

I don't understand how you manage to keep the wallpaper so clean with all the swarf and coolant being flung around, or how you find the time to take all those lovely photos.
Keep up the good work and keep posting those pictures.

Alan

Hi Valy,
Looks like high guality work.
I also like your brake disc, I have not seen that kind before, I mean the looks and construction of it, how it covers the hub. Can you tell what brand/type it is? Thanks!

I don’t know if there’s any Swedish forum for e-bikes or custom bikes. I’ll be glad if I find some though as my newly build chopper is for sale and those kinds of forums should be the best places to get me a buyer.

Ordinary bicycle sites with forums are quite common but they are specialized in racers, mtb or whatever and at least those racer bike owners doesn’t understand the point of equip a bike with a motor. What matter the most for them is to keep the weight down, not increase it with a motor and heavy batteries.
