G'day All
I have for the last 4 months been saving like mad so i could buy myself a car...however i came to the realization, a) I already have a car available to me to use which i don't have to pay to use other then fuel (disadvantage is its unexciting and rather dull) b) there is no parking in the Sydney city where my uni is...unless you have a disability sticker or have a rather unlimited cashflow.
So i already have a mountain bike, its a bit heavy to start with (steel frame) and has limited space in the Aframe as its front and rear suspension, hopefully the extra power of the motor should compensate for the weight as i won't have to carry my bike up a flight of stairs to go around the giant hill to get to uni
I have been looking around and there doesn't appear to be many stores in Australia that stock hub motors and large capacity batteries (nimh/lipo). So i was looking at importing from overseas.
I just wanted to get peoples opionion of the Team Hybrid Puma Motor (Knoixe your videos are awsome) with a 48volt NIMH F-type pack, made out of the following:

Also does the DrainBrain or Cycle Analyst as its now known work with the puma?
And if anyone else has any suggestions for motors or battery combinations please let me know... Sydney's rather flat with a few ridges hills scattered around, and my ride to uni is only 10kms.
I would rather go with NIMH over LiPo, less danger of them exploding and cheaper and easier to setup, sla's while cheap and easy (i can get them from my work on staff discount) are heavy and on a already heavy bike i think it would suck, NICADS cheap and nasty, better to go with the nimh.. (lol i think already just answered that question myself)
Cheers
