So finally I'm building my first e"bike".
I've been reading a lot on es during the last year and was initially aiming for a 125 conversion but now I'm on the way with an e-freerider
and with the 125 project pushed to somewhen later I'm getting parts that I will probably be using in the bigger vehicle when it's due.
This build is most likely going to happen during the next 2-3 months.
Feel free to contribute or challenge my thoughts.
The parts I already aquired during the last 2 weeks:
The motor should end up in the frame triangle
some nice downhill rims with 203mm discs mounted (the first screws I put in - groundbreaking so to say)
Turningy Wattmeter
Good brakes
The GNG motor
A nice fork ... which will probably be switched out for a DC fork because I really don't want to go over the handlebar at high speed.
24x 38120SE Headways with 9ah
I will make 2x12S batteries as as soon as the smart bms from bmsbattery.com arrives. Also I'm waiting on some CCCV chargers
I ordered weeks ago through mistertao.com.
I will make first experiments with the GNG kit mounted (after I bend everything to the right angles) - but will later on machine
a motor mount for the frame triangle and switch to either bike or cart chain for the 1st stage reduction.
Opinions/suggestions welcome.
I will update the thread as I make progress with the build.
