Oops should have read further in the search results. Found this. Nevermind. (Source) Makes sense. Lower voltage equals higher current and blammo, dead motor.

Would it be possible to put two 12V SLAs on a kit like this or must I run these at 36V? https://www.amazon.com/JAXPETY-Electric-Bicycle-Cycle-Conversion/dp/B0761QYCKM/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I was thinking that. Unless the controller does some sort of reverse current when the brake lever is pulled to actively resist the forward speed, I couldn't see how it could possibly stop the bike. So I guess because you must still retain standard levers that many people such as markz do not use...

Right so are these sufficient to quickly stop my ride?

I see on this kit there are ebrakes. Are these sufficient to quickly stop my ride? If not I don't know how I would activate both my side pull brakes and ebrakes at the same time. Maybe they're intended for coaster brakes...

That's a good idea dogman but wow you must be loaded to have that many toys :D Trailer isn't strictly necessary.

Rockin' forum. Everyone is very helpful. No B.S. Update: Crap, image is broken. Dunno why. Here it is.

Reminder, my load is 382 GROSS. Bike and motor included. Everything. I think some of you may have spec'd me at 382 net, hehe.

Yeah, it's got a stock 3 gear internal hub. I wanted to avoid buying more than necessary.

Please allow me to clarify: The trailer would only tow 200lbs. Like, two kids. But by the time you add in me+bike+motor+trailer+road flare+etc at 383 it goes over 600 GROSS weight.

Thanks all. SUPER forum! No nonsense. On a lighter note, does reading "Crystalyte" make your lips pucker too? I never really liked that stuff :shock:

Hmmm 250 watts continuous. I just bought a bike too. Sad story; it had a cheapie gas kit and I only drove it 1000 feet before the clutch flopped. No refund (Craigslist special). But I really like the frame and tires so I wanna build around it. After thinking about it some more, electric may be...

If money were no object, and you were in my shoes, what would you buy and why? Trailer is optional. Goal is best long-term reliability, consistent 20mph on my route. $$$$$$ By the way, I'm in the U.S. Florida, to be precise.

What's your weight, with bike and gear and motor and battery and road flare (Yehuda) and... ?
