I've been using the gTech ebike for a couple of years now as my round town bike* the motor really does take the sting out the single speed however it is a bit limited. The motor is little weedy for my fat arse so maxes out at 13.5mph**. Seems to be a bit of a shortage of town ebikes, mostly focused on sport, but I was thinking these decathlon*** bikes look quite good and converting one to a ebike would be fairly simple. Plus I could put lifPo4 cells in to my own spec.
So anyone had any experience with this bike or its brethren?

*still only done about 500 miles
**this is fine most of the time but the single gear is about right for 15mph so can take a bit of effort to bridge that gap. Personally I find 13.5mph a bit slow in moving traffic.
*** not seen much I'd like used
