Build my Island bike

The Braaap EV5 is a pretty cheap bike, less than $5k.

The Island Bike

I would love to:

  • Remove most of the plastic
  • Add some metal fenders etc for a little safety
  • Replace tyres with dirt tyres

Get money!

Get some money so I can do this

Buy the EV10 (10kW motor version)

This has a 120Ah battery.

Steel the battery

Steep the 80Ah battery from the EV5 (an 80Ah battery would cost me about $2500) and use it to extend the range of the EV10.

Replace the battery

Put a 20Ah battery (about $500) into the old EV5 - which is plenty of range for my island bike.
