Thanks guys, it certainly seems to starting to roll over here for sure. I was just reading a big article in the Sydney Morning herald about how they are getting behind cycleways as well, Written by the Mayor no less.
Glen ; I just looked at a full suspension bike for possible conversion. Trouble is that the motor is anchored by a torque bolt through the back wheel lower arms, into that little triangle brace area and most full suspension bikes are all pivot and moving components there. Nothing to secure it to. The MTB's I have done have been only front suspension versions. Send me a pic or two and I can confirm for you at least.
The kits and batteries are brought in from China, Shanghai.

Chris : Mid drive on a MTB\Commuter bike frame seems best, again look at my website for my own conversion pictures. Pretty standard sort of bike and reasonably priced even new. My bike cost $549, Jims was $700 and he still got a good deal. Kit to fit is about $1800 including my installation time.
That first one I did gave the best performing bike for the price. Anything similar shop bought new is in the $3500 . $4000 + bracket. I turn them out at around $2200 to $2500 including the new bike.
