About this conversion

A great example of a modern steel conversion. The customer wanted a bike that he can commute and cruise on as well as blast up into the hills loaded up with trail digging tools. With a few Lekkie parts the conversion came together really well.

Extra parts and modifications used for this conversion

Motor Fitment

The Motor required 6mm of BB spacers to get the motor to clear the yoke. With a Lekkie Motorspacer 5mm, a few M6 washers and a Lekkie OneNut the motor fitted really well.

Battery

DP6 battery mounted to the bottle cage mounts. A slight modification to one of the cable guides was required to get the battery sitting flat.

Drivetrain

Due to the motor being spaced out we needed a sprocket with lots of offset to try get the chain-line as good as possible. The Lekkie Bling Ring PRO 42T was the perfect solution. The full cassette can be used with no issues at all.
