hi, i am converting a petrol dirt bike to an electric ive got all the tools i just need some help with parts does anyone know where to get parts for a bike for £500? It also has to go at least 50mph thanks

Very doubtful you'd get anything decent for that money. Try 2,000GBP instead.

just point me in the right direction forget the money wot kinda of power do i need to go 50mph?

A basic starting point with a DC motor for that sort of build would be an ME1003 http://www.evdrives.com/kits_conversion.html and 24 headway cells http://currentevtech.com/Lithium-Batteries/Headway/Headway-40160S-16ah-cell-LiFePO4-p42.html though you could go for thundersky for more capacity, but the extra weight may be a downside for dirt http://currentevtech.com/Lithium-Batteries/Thundersky/Thundersky-90ah-cell-p23.html

Would pay to look around other motor/controller combinations for power to weight, and cooling options, and regen braking, but that should give you a ballpark.

EDIT: I've been told that battery supplier may not be the most reliable, so do a bit of research on the yourself before buying. Which is probably good advice for any dealer you go with!
