This E-Bike conversion kit is great for upgrading an existing bike. The manual and instructions are good and the support good. There are also some good assembly guide YouTube videos, so instead I just cover in this video what are the tricky bits needing an extra bit of advice, based on my experience building my own bike (bought with my own money). None of it is too difficult but hopefully this video will help those not so experienced in DIY and liable to get stuck.
Fully independent non sponsored advice. The kit can be had for a good price of around £500 under the batch order (pre-order early access) arrangement. See this link:

![Fixing a Sticky Throttle Cable - MGF, MGTF & Others
Heres a technique for getting lubricating oil all the way down a long throttle cable that was getting sticky and needed lubricating with oil.
It involves making a little tool. Which needs a tyre valve:

And a copper compression tee fitting:

Also look for an end cap copper fitting to seal that mid point and where you can put the oil after its unscrewed. You might need to put in a short piece of pipe and then an end cap like this:
