Awww, Morph, how sweet to offer to build my bike! If I did live near you I'd probably learn a lot! Thanks to you both for the input; you both said exactly what I was feeling about this bike, AND these bikes have a lot of wires showing.
Maybe if I just bought the frame and got a decent kit because so far it seems like the only frame that will fit me just right.
I SO agree about the hub motor; this one looks odd for the price... or for any price. These bikes really are VERY over-priced... too bad.
What is BMS and LVC ???
