Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.

Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.

ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy

ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100

ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.

@Unixbigot great idea! Do you have advice on acquiring components that are EN15194 compliant (250W motors, pedelec drive electronics etc) and good quality batteries & charging systems and ways to test them?

@ThermiteBeGiants I've dumped my brain here https://accelerando.com.au/news/

ooh, I forgot to write about chargers. Part four.....

Pretty much every brushless motor controller I've seen has an optional pedal sensor plug. If you get an off the shelf 250w brushless motor and controller, it's pretty hard NOT to be EN15194 compliant. I've torn down and tested a number of battery systems, and yes, have all manner of test gear for doing this.
