Hi folks
Daily cyclist here but I fancy getting on the 'electric highway' as I'm getting on a bit :lol:
So I think I'm going to use a Decathlon Riverside as a donor with a Tongsheng TSDZ2 750w mid motor and I'll stick the open source software on it as I'm an open source fan!
I'm a lightweight at less than 65kg - that's about 140lbs in 'old money' :wink:
So I have 2 requirements:
1) when I go shopping for a quick 20km blast to get a baguette I want to go as fast as possible and p!ss off a few cars and trucks during a 10 minute uphill segment and when I'm 'cruising' along a totally flat valley section
2) 100km+ touring range at a 'leisurely pace' but having to deal with plenty of hills in the French countryside
I recently saw a youtube vid of a guy with a homemade 'spot welder' making a battery pack and I'm happy to give this a go with an old car battery, some weird solenoid and a 'danger button'
In fact I'll go for 2 different battery packs if this gives me flexibility....
Thanks for your thoughts and experiences!
Safe riding!
Allez les bleus!
