Conversion of a decades-old and still wonderful Santana Tandem using the V3 All-Axle Rear Hub Motor, Super Harness Kit and 48V Battery. Some custom solutions on this build are: a Custom Battery Bracket built around two Double Bobs, Trip-Wire cut-off mounted to the brake lever throw conversion unit, custom set of rear wheel adaptors that take advantage of the larger Santana dropout size and spacing, Custom Dyol bracket that mounts to road handle bars/ and a small torque arm spacer to properly alighn the torque arm to the Santana Frame.

Battery Braket
Centring was key, as were the spacers between the brackets! and the battery plate
Dyol Throttle
Photos show the details of the bracket and installation. I need to re-tape the bar to cover the small opening but didn't have any extra tape available...
