HI all, im new to the ebike scene and after getting a store bought ebike and finding the limitations or customisability (namely not being able to use a bigger battery) I want to build a custom one for commuting purposes and hopping you can help me out.
My use case is:
Im thinking a hardtail mountain bike with front suspension (I need to get a new bike for this so suggestions are welcome).
I need the 50 miles due to a 25mile one way trip with no chance to charge, I realise this is a long distance but im happy to put in the effort on the way home at a slower cruising speed.
On that note, I have a 50V 27.9Ah triangle battery on its way to me from em3ev as it was the biggest I could find.
I dont want to spend too much, im thinking £500 ish for the bike and similar for the motor kit.
I really like the idea of a variable regen break of some kind.
Im thinking that a 1000w DD motor should do the job but I really dont know where to buy from, whats good or bad.
Any help/advise on this and where to get the parts is most welcome.
Thank you in advance.
My use case is:
- 30 - 33 Mph max speed
- 50 miles one charge (cruising at average speed 20-25Mph)
- mostly flat with a couple steep hill (I don't know the incline % but its not too terrible nor too long)
- regen breaking (saving the breaks really appeals to me)
- I weigh 100kg when wearing all my gear.
- I prefer disk breaks.
- Being able to switch between road legal and off road would be a big bonus (im thinking CA3 for this job)
