Spring is coming slowely.
Only small patches of snow here and there.
My EPLUS BIRIA project is completed.
You judge yourself from pictures.
Low mounted battery pack looks weird mounted soooo low, but believe me - very practical, CofGravity must be low , laws of physics.
This ebike is going to be my only commuter in spring, summer and fall, so reliability is a must, it must be reliable.
It means bike quality components, because EPLUS electric drive proofed itself beyond the doubt as Metalman uses it on cargo heavy duty bike.
BIRIA was $450 bicycle so I knew from start that I will be replacing almost everthing except frame which is Taiwan-made.
Components on BIRIA can only be described as crap, no brand names , like $9 BBracket, $15 rear shifter/plastic !!!!/ , horrible creaking stem/heandlebar.And list goes on and on.
I pressed real headset in myself, installed stem, fork , brakes ,


etc.etc.
