Everything in my BD36 kit has been replaced except the motor and I've yet to get it running. At least you're rolling and could do OK with a better type battery.

BD36 help

I'm putting a BD36 on my Townie and I see you have a similar setup. Is that a thumb throttle next to a grip shifter? How do you make that work?
Thanks,
