Eurotrip 7, 2018 – Day 31, Moe’s bike…

Standard

It’s a trip to Gibraltar from the campsite today, not for us though because we will be spending this weekend on the Rock at a luxury hotel… Mike and Linda are booked on todays trip as Mike’s bike won’t be ready until Manana.

Spent much of the morning adding the electric bike kit to Moe’s Marlin bike. Then a trip to Leroy Merlin to buy a few additional bit’s and pieces to finish the job off.

This didn’t proceed quite as easily as my conversion. The electric brake “cut-offs” were replacement integrated levers but on Moe’s bike, the gear shift is integrated with the levers so we weren’t able to use them. Plan B was to canibalise the ones on my bike but it turns out that mine use a 3-pin plug to connect to the controller whereas Moe’s is a 2-pin Higo.

Here’s a link to the full conversion details:
