Wicked build! Fun fact: Surly used the blueprints for this design for their Big Dummy cargo bike, so if you ever need a replacement rear deck or rear bars then you can buy the Surly branded ones and they will fit just fine.

Really interesting challenge of a project. I had no idea such kits existed. Lots of little problems to solve. I would have given up. Great work. The fact that it is electric really adds to the usability for hauling cargo.

Nice bike. The BB5 comes stock with v brake spacers above and below the holes for the bolt. They use the smaller v brake spacer pair for all 4 places. I think aligning it would be a bit easier if you had spacers on top as well (maybe google an image, hard to explain).
