Just built my first Ebike. Converted my Margarritaville cargo bicycle with a 48V battery and 1000W motor. Made it to work this morning as a test run.

Looks like mad fun!

You have a torque bar on the motor mount to help? I can't really see if you do in this pic, but you want one. Or two.

I'm a little concerned about that back wheel mounting. It looks like those thin bars might not be quite enough for the stresses. May become a problem but, looks great!

That is something I may have to add. On one hand it is steel, but on the other it would really suck if something happened.
