I got myself a Koga miyata e bike that was e bike of the year 2010 and the frame is based on the hand made bike from 2007.
I am working on it to fix it again. Not that it was a bad bike, but the battery was gone and some things need to be fixed or replaced.
I got it to replace my gazelle. Reason is simple, this bike is way better. It needs some work, but it rides good, especially now I replaced the chain, cleaned the derailleur. Even with the rear hub motor not connected, the bike rides smooth. It rides easier than a bike with a mid motor that isn't connected to a battery.
I now get more gears, what helps me riding on different speeds.
Ad the moment I am rewiring the bike. It has a new controller, lights and display.
That is the thing I needed to replace to get the assist working without getting an original battery that is way to expensive.
Tomorrow I get a new cassette that has 11 28, instead of 14 28. A bit wider range that gives me a higher top speed. Front I am looking and 44 or 46t to replace the 42t.
End of the month I get my front and rear fender. After that I only need to get new grips, new pedals and new tires. After that it is ready.
