Ebike with battery in tank? has anyone done this?

[Cooper S.]

Im thinking about taking a prewar columbia frameset and coverting it to an ebike since its been repainted and missing the wheels, and im wondering if anyone has ever hid the battery in the tank. any pictures or what kits you used would help alot! thank you

I have an ebike and the battery is too big for any tank i can think of. 36 volts and probably weighs 10 lbs....

This is my 41 Firestone badged Colson, w/ a liberty or two. 250 watt Clean Republic front hub motor. Two 12 volt, in series, lithium batteries & controller in the tank, which is custom, wider than usual, & built around the batteries. Bendix 2spd. kick back rear hub. These old frames work out really well as Ebikes, this one is a fun bike & super stealthy.
