I built my own ............................
Alloy frame, 7 speed hub gears, 250W motor, 300Wh battery.

I too have just converted a bike to electric - got the kit from Germany - as we wanted the pannier to be silver to match the existing bike - and the UK companies either said they had a black rack and I could spray it or others did not reply to my emails. The German choices were great and I could choose black or silver racks, batteries and rims so got a match - and I saved about £70 than buying in UK. Goes like rocket and took less than three hours to convert

This looks great.

Which model is it?

That's the Riese & Muller BlueLabel Pony. We have an orange and black version with the NuVinci belt drive. Fantastic bikes and they both fit nicely in the back of our garage.

Reading throu the specs the 2016 Yamaha motor seems a little ahead of the Bosch (by fractions), just joined a local club been doing some single track red route stuff with a view to trying different places further afield, used to ride mainly on-road but this is more interesting/ exciting

Not ready for electric bike just yet plus im still sulking about how much my last bike cost me. And I got a great discount on that with lots of stuff thrown in so should be happy.

Have posted links to Bosch powered bikes for £800 ...hardly extortionate for a proper riding experience.

The haibike I rode for almost two years I sold for what I paid for it...£1400 so cost me nothing!

Can you re post the links to the £800 Bosch powered bikes please?
I quite fancy an ebike now I have hit 60!
Thanks,
Lloyd.

Mine was an accident: I bought a cheap s/h bike off eBay to use for one specific task each year (campsite to motor racing sprint track). As (so I'm told) I suffer from OCD I stripped it to clean & rebuild it. Once it was in bits I spotted an alloy Giant frame on eBay so I bought that, stripped & repainted it, and then noticed a cheap ebike in the local paper. It turns out the guy selling it lived two houses away so it would have been rude not to buy it. So out of the parts strewn around my man-shed I used the front & rear wheels (motorised front, 7 speed hub rear) and motor control gubbins from the ebike, the alloy Giant frame, some handlebar controls from the cheap eBay bike, and a new battery from an eBay seller, to build the current machine. It works well & looks good.
