Interesting idea.

I think the panniers carrying the batteries could be more 'distressed' on that particular bike.

If it's just a powered rear wheel hub, then I could see it working well for loads of different classic bikes, especially if you can make it look more like a rear drum brake.

I can hear the the thuds of collapsing rivet counters the world over.

Which can only be a good thing.

Why?

And just no.

Not a fan of converting classic vehicles / equipment to battery power.

It's only original once and this just ruins it for me

I like it, when they do a 100bhp hub I have a few classics I could put one in.

Nice, unobtrusive and easily reversed.

I wonder if the batteries are recharged when it's running on petrol? If it does that would give it a massive range and usability.
