Batavus HS50 Teardown?

Heyo, I got two batavus HS50's for real cheap. First one is up and running great. Second one has been repainted and I think the OG owner was going to swap the parts from the first one onto the second one but since I've got all the parts for two I figured I'd just get the first running for my girlfriend and the second I'd reassemble for me.

I've never assembled a batavus from scratch, anyone know if there's a manual out there with a teardown/rebuild guide? Worst case I'll just give it the ol college try. Google hasn't been much help cause all I can find is owners manuals with basic maintenance stuff, nothing to show me how to assemble the thing from a box of parts. Figured it might be worth a shot to post about it.

Thanks!

If the performance parts shortage becomes an issue you could also convert it into a HS60 with a Sachs motor...

Hah I actually thought about that. Ive got an e50 engine laying around, even though bats are slow I like the look of them. Maybe in the future.

I did scan the wiki, no dice. I did end up finding a manual with some information on a batavus owner facebook group. Weirdly posted a day before I made this post. But thanks!

@Suzahl I'm finding a lot of puch parts fit these batavus's. The e50 3 wire stator from treats is a direct bolt on if you use the original m48 flywheel. Ive got another bat that I did that to. I'm assuming a magnum fork would probably(?) work on an HS50. But dont have any measurements to back that up.

Some BAT literature is here on Shelly's site:
