Well you have to start somewhere, mighty oaks from little acorns etc
The timescale may screw this project ......
You may find the other parts obsolete by the time you come to purchase them

Dear God I hope not, the rest of the bike, conversion kit and battery should be arriving next week, fingers crossed they won't be obselete by then
you will love it.
I converted my push bike a few months ago.
Retained all the push bikey bits, 21 gears etc in case I run out of battery.
I used the same brand as you. Got a 48v, 1000w motor. Using a 48v 36Ah battery goes like stink.
The controller I used allowed me cruise control and a 3 level speed control as well.
I have connected the brakes as well to instantly cut the power and allegedly to re-generate but I see little evidence of that.
Not done much on mine yet apart from speed trials. :lol
Speed level one sees about 14 - 15mph
I have seen 26.8 mph on the speedo.........
I'll get some photos up if you are interested ......................... or not if I am boring the fuck out of you...

Yes please to the pics!
Similar size motor and battery here.
I only had a slight interest in these things until I found that a small op next year will mean I have no driving licence for at least 6 weeks after. As I live 2 miles out of town with no public transport, this is a good solution. A mate brought his down to try it out and in 1/2 mile I was in love!
Got quite a few hilly bridleways within battery reach of the house
