Hi y'all.

I was thinking about converting an old vespa citta to an EV.

I have an old Vespa laying around so I wondered what to do with it.

My thought was removing the motor, sprockets, exhaust etc. Retrofitting a hub motor on the rear wheel and mounting the battery on the back. The controller could be mounted in place of the original motor.

Another option would be a mid drive motor but I think aligning the electric motor with the sprockets would be a hassle.

You guys think it could be done as easily as I'm thinking?

The hub motor I'm thinking about is a 72v 5000W.
