This one was printed from a large 3-D printer. The quality was superb. There was no sign of the normal layering. It must have had a very high resolution:
Can you please provide the link for this product ??
Cheers.
I am looking for decent fascia / cover for batteries but can never seem to find one just right.
Yours looks great but you said you got it 3D plotted. That sounds futuristic ! I live in Western Australia with a small population and unlikely to have such a service here. Any tips or places i could get this done and sent to me ?
How does the on off button fair / where did you source it?
Looks great

Duct tape is the best.

Mine is incredibly simple. I mounted some L-brackets to a 11" piece of wood, and then I mounted it to the water bottle holder. I used a counter sink drill bit so that the bolt heads were recessed into the wood.
The battery itself goes inside of a CD case! It works great, but I plan on upgrading it a little bit so that the battery case is a little more weather proofed and has a few handles. I may eventually construct an aluminum housing with a lock on it so that I can leave it attached to the bike.

Split off a pair of 4 mm bullets for charging or connecting to main pack w\ jumpers.

I used the 2 front friction shifter brackets on the front down tube of an 80s road bike and brazed a second set on the back down tube.
2 aluminium angle lengths cut and fitted to bolt onto the friction shifter mounts.
2 x 5s 8ah Lipo batteries fit inside the 2 angles held in with tape.
a Plastic project box holds all the connectors and the balance charge plug.
Sorry I didn't get any pictures during construction but if I need to disassemble it i take some will.
The idea was to keep it simple, light weight and stream lined.

I like this- please don't take offence- apart from the bid red/yellow checkered pattern. It will draw everyones attention including thieves and police, the first bike you see when parked with other bikes. It's just not my taste, I'd go for matching the rest of the bike. Is the multi pin amphenol socket for charging?

HOlds (12) 4S HobbyKing Hard Case Packs, for a total of 888Whrs. I call it the "Kilowatt Bag"
Thinking I might contract out a few to be made locally, if you guys are interested. No firm pricing yet, but I am hoping to keep it around $100 or so to produce in small custom batches.

I converted this bike for a disabled guy, who can't pedal very well. The frame triangle is very small, so I needed a customer cell-pack, which was provided by Schwibsi. It's about 15aH 48V (12S7P Sony V3) I got the BMS from Ebay:

This is my first attempt at GRP, but it came out OK apart from the crooked charge socket, which Is not symmetrical and I marked it out from the wrong side.
One soide of the case is fixed to the bike; the other is removable. I glued and screwed some 6 mm softwood to the first side to be able to join the two halves.
Click on the photos to see them complete on Photobucket. I don't have time to resize them.

I'm working on the controller. I just can't see anywhere else to put it. I like to keep the cables short and all the phase and hall wires are soldered. It's also out of line of any water comming off the wheel. Technically it's the best place for it. Ideally the controller would be inside the hub. Like this one.

You could put a big retro style "headlight" on the fork crown, and have the controller board inside it. At the very front of it would be an actual headlight, but it wouldn't take up all that space.

I did think of that but I didn't like it much. I am thinking along the lines of a slim minimalist controller you won't notice.
I have a prototype. I'll let you know how I get on.
I like a challenge rather than just take the obvious route and maybe something innovative will emerge, or maybe just shit.
But you won't know until you try.
There are a few very small controllers meant for stealth.
I have one of the old Crystalyte controllers that's a little wider than your downtube (it's not very powerful, but that's not the point of the bike you're building, anyway.
