G'day Everyone
I have finally saved enough after living like a rat for the last 4-5 weeks to go on a spending spree for EV equipment.
I am just in the midst of getting my order together with Brett at SolarBBQ
I am going for
1x 5304 Rear Hub Kit
2x 36v 11ahr Lithium Polymer Batteries
1x CycleAnalyst (from ebike.ca)
I am tossing up weather to go with the 72v 35amp or the 20amp controller from ebike.ca. This will be the primary controller and the one that comes with the kit will be a backup as i don't praticually want to have to solder and then calibrate the CA to get it working.
There was also some warning on bretts site about using his batteries with more then 20amps, i will have to check if the 35amp controller will be safe.
(One thing that I have found out from ebike.ca is that I can set the power limit on the CA to say 200watts (Australian legal limit) and then have a switch in series with the throttle override line and turn the limit on and off with a switch, so in the event of been pulled over by a cop i can just hit a switch under say the seat, limits it to 200watts, show the copper on the CA that its limited to 200watts, and then hopefully be able to head off)
I am still trying to figure out a lighting solution, i want to put either halogen or Luxeon lights on the front...probably two and then maybe a red one at the rear (have it connected via a relay to turn on when i pull the brakes)...I just have a feeling 72volts will make them go up in smoke, I maybe able to put resistors on the Luxeon lights but then again I have no idea if they would be able to handle 72v even with resistors (and on top of that they would get bloody hot). I should probably reread the lighting thread but if anyone has any ideas how to wire either halogens or LEDs up to 72v please let me know.
Anyway below is some photos of my bike and my new horn that i made over the APEC weekend (everyone left fortress Sydney for the long weekend and my work was deserted as a result, and therefore i got bored and started marking stuff), thanks to BiGH who suggested the idea.
P.S. does anyone know where to get handle bar mounts, like the one seen on my new horn, i canalised my old bell to get that, but it would make life a lot easy if I got a couple so i can mount lights etc...
P.P.S. Can anyone suggest any good parcel racks for dual suspension bikes, i don't mind if i have to order from overseas.
enjoy
