Custom-built electric bike, rebuilt from the frame up with new
components throughout. Genuinely excellent condition, with 60 km
ridden since the rebuild was completed.
THE BATTERY
Brand new 48V 13Ah (624Wh) slot-in down-tube pack, unused and at full
health. Both keys and the original charger included. A pack this size
is around €300 on its own, so a large part of what you're buying here
is effectively new. It locks into the down tube and lifts out in
seconds for charging indoors.

- Battery: 48V 13Ah / 624Wh, brand new, removable, 2 battery keys

THE REBUILD
The frame was stripped back, powder-coated in gloss black, and built back up with new parts. The paintwork is as new, with no chips and no corrosion. Brakes are sharp, gears index cleanly, everything works exactly as it should. It's been stored indoors and ridden 60 km since. The one blemish anywhere on the bike is minor scratching and scuffing on the display, which does not affect its operation in any way.
PARTS AND SERVICING
Everything on it is standard Bafang and KT hardware rather than a
manufacturer's closed system, so replacement motors, controllers and
displays are cheap and available from any e-bike parts supplier.
Nothing on this bike will ever be unobtainable, which is more than can
be said for most budget e-bikes a few years down the line.
HONEST NOTES
The bike came to me from a relative, so I don't have an original
receipt for it.
The display is currently set to cut assistance at 25 km/h.
It is illegal to delimit this bike for use on public roads / bike paths
