I've been thinking about what to do about the steering - it does tend to get squirrely at speed. I've already adjusted the toe a bit (helped a lot) and moved the seat and pedals back, to get a more centered center of gravity, but steering is very twitchy when I get close to 30.
Most seem to go for "mid drive" electric motors on these, mounted on the front by the pedals. Having multiple gears to select for the motor is attractive, but I'm thinking I'll probably instead go with a 750-1000w geared rear hub motor (still allows freewheeling) wound to give a top speed of 25-30mph. This will again shift more of the weight from front to center, and clean up the wiring and aesthetics significantly.
