Conversion Suitability Assessment

For a bike conversion service, a free installation feasibility assessment will be provided based on factors including: 

• Compatibility and condition of bottom bracket shell
• Clearance of motor and motor shaft with bottom bracket shell, frame and cabling
  
• Compatibility of controls with gearing & braking system and general handlebar setup
• Compatibility of drive train requirements e.g. chain ring adaptor installation
  

Installation cost includes additional minor components (e.g. motor spacers) and all labour costs for standard adaptations as required. If significant additional parts cost would be incurred or extra changes to bike setup are required for effective installation, this will be discussed prior to a decision to proceed. In either case, if a bike is ultimately found to be unsuitable for conversion, then no charge will be made and the bike. (Where components are bought for self installation, information and opinions will be provided as requested, but the responsibility for effective installation will be with the customer).
