    Update! Built a box for the bike, with a seat where you can adjust the angle of the back. Made out of 7mm plywood, stained black and treated with chinese oil.
    But then when this was done and a brand new backwheel was installed the Bafang motor broke. New parts for it is on its way. Hopefully this will run again coming spring when Im on paternity leave with my son! Take care!

    Thanks for the tips! Im looking for this kind of look as attached picture, perhaps its easiest (and most fun) to build one myself...

    Its a moped made by a swedish inventor with the funding from swedish goverment to find alternatives to gaspowered vehicles. This one was made for the swedish railway to do small transportations around the railyard. 3 x 12V batteries with 6 big relays controlls the speed in the steps. Big heavy led batteries was in it from the beginning, planing on going over to lithium batterypacks instead.

    Picture is of our current king when he got one as a gift back in the 70s. One of the gentlemen in the background is the inventer, dont know who...

    Looking for a cargo basket around the size 60x60cm, depth is not cricital but around 20cm. Have seen one on a three wheeled bicycled at my local batterystore. But they coulnt order just the basket.
    Have any of you seen one?
    Wont be placed on a bike unfortunately, but on a 1970s original electric threewheeled moped!

    No its my first time. Ok thanks for the tip. I think it needs some service anyway, Im thinking about doing the dip-in-oil treatment. Any suggestions to what more that I can do with it?

    First proper testrun! Only issue is that my second hand Alfine 8speed backwheel needs som service to shift smooth. Now I need to stop pedaling for it to change gears.
