Thank you both for your replies.
I think the bike is strong enough, but a 3Kw motor is as much as it will need, 2Kw would do too.
The brakes are not substantial, so too much could be dangerous, but I will need good hill climbing capacity.
I say 48 volts as the battery packs seem popular. I really know little on the subject, hence being on here.
Thabnk you for the link, will have a good look.
What section is best for the project on this forum please?

General Discussion / 1950 bike conversion to 48V: how?
« on: November 23, 2019, 11:04:49 PM »
Hello all, I have a 1950 French Terrot motorcycle with a very difficult 2 stroke engine...
I live in England by the way.
I am considering a conversion to electric, 3Kw (max) and 48 volts (?) The motor will be in the place of the small single cylinder engine, driving the wheel by chain.
The bike is fully restored so I want to keep it that way so everything needs to be bolt on.
I am handy with garage/car restoration tools, welding, machining etc so feel confident to do it.
however, I would love to get a 'kit' of motor, controller etc so I know it all matches.
I don't want to install a rear hub motor if I can help it.
Any ideas for a supplier of the 'kit' of parts please?
Thanks, Graham.
