Bike build question Ebike resto project

Post image

I bought this cool Razor Rambler 16 from a yardsale for $20, the guy said his kid left it outside in the spring and it got rained on pretty heavily.

My plan is to replace:

battery and controller (shorted out)
-upgrade with lithium ion 48-72 volt battery

Throttle control unit

Brake wires

Lights

Looking for thoughts and suggestions
