Conversion report:

Straight forward motor fitment. Needed some extension cables but otherwise motor fitment was the easiest part of the build. Added a couple of mounts to the frame to bolt the battery on. One battery extension cable required. Stock sprocket fitted fine, just made a custom chain deflector to keep the chain off the battery. Made a custom 3D printed display bracket to change the orientation of the display. Also made a cable duct to hide the cable junctions. Custom chin deflector.

Bike Performance:

This quetzal recumbent electric bike conversion, with the added power of the BBS01 and 36v battery kit is a fun, comfortable, different ride. Sit back and enjoy while you power up hills and make your commutes.
