So how do you pedal, without knee into box action? Or is pedalling frowned upon by the ebike community 😆

With that sort of set up you probably don't need to pedal at all. Pretty much an electric moped.

That's got fire-ey death written all over it. I think he may be disappointed by the final auction price!

Think he might be a member of the (Care in the community gang).
Complete odd ball engineering.

Seeing as the frame has rack mounts why would you not mount the filing cabinet, sorry Battery box on a rack at the rear where it could also double up as a Mudguard.

Mental dreamer at work.

I'm assuming he's hoping people will think essential parts of the e-bike are just part of the pile of shit.

I saw a few in Miami over Easter. I think they were for hire. Triple clamp forks on them, looking very DH'lly, although I didnt have a closer look. One at the traffic lights, very quick to get away:
