Nice build.

I was watching a video of some Russians converting a very old bike using the motor of a washing machine. Very amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDizHIjZqBM

That contraption looks a bit scary of course but it goes to show that building a e-bike is not that hard. Which is I guess why there are so many companies doing that right now.

This one is really nice though.

I live in a big city (Berlin) and e-bikes are perfect for getting around town. You see a lot of the delivery services using them. Also in a weird bit of investor inception, you see drivers of one VC funded company basically using the e-bikes or scooters of other VC-funded companies.
