Can I convert a electric bobber bike into a UK registered motorcycle ?

If I used a bobber rolling chassis such as this, can anybody advise on what battery / motor combo I would need to achieve the 40 mile range at 50 mph ?

Would this fit the bill in the motor / controller department ? Can anyone offer advice as to what  battery I would need for the intended range

I checked your pointer out thankyou. Looks like these requirements are layed down in a 200 page MSVA handbook.
Basically it looks like there are different requirements depending on wether the bike does upto 30 MPH , or 30 MPH +
But it appears as long as its not over 11KW lighting is all legal and works,has adequate brakes and tyres for the bikes weight,its pretty straight forward,and your good to go.

MSVA test £70

Ndm:
Have you looked into the enertrac hub motor, this might be a better option than offshore eBay motors
