Next up make a bracket on the bicycle to mount your motor on the front wheel, make sure the wheel on the motor is nicely in the middle of the bicycles wheel and pressing firmly on the wheel. The bracket can look something like in the picture below: Now all that’s left to do is some wiring and mounting the battery to the luggage rack of the bicycle. For the wiring, you run two thick wires to the positive and ground of the motor. You wire your push button in such a fashion that it activates the start relay which in turn activates the solenoid on the starter motor. The wiring scheme can be found below:

Once you completed all these steps you can get on your newly “gebeunde” electric bicycle. Press the button and hold on tightly, this setup should allow you to drive without even peddling at speeds up to 40 km/u!

Next to that do we also not guarantee that the bike has a long action radius or that it doesn’t light on fire after.
