Hello, I'm a gas motorized biker looking to go electric. Can you guys recommend me some components? The bike side of it is handled, strong frame, steel 50mm wide 26" rims, 10g spokes, etc. been reading a lot and just getting more confused.
Desired:
Speed: 45-50mph continuous, 55-60 bursts
Range: 15mi minimum @45mph
Budget: yes, cheaper the better
Load: rider 170, bike frame and wheels ~60
Terrain: roads. mostly flat, one small steep hill, would like to take it in the mountains occasionally, but if I can't it's ok too, but I can also fab up a 2-speed for it if mid drive
Special features: on board fast charger 110v. Need to be able to plug in anywhere
Motor style: hub or not, prefer non hub as bike is already built with moped hub in rear, but idc
Bike frame: done/can modify
Wheels: done/can build
My current bicycle is a 212cc which has around 13000 miles on it of mostly going very fast, in fact I have one speeding ticket on it for 45+ in a 35 zone. I've beat it to hell when it was on a Schwinn frame, and recently hardtailed a Yamaha '69 dortbike as my new frame because regular bicycles are too weak for the rigors of speed and vibration.
I'm looking for the cheapest possible setup. The bike already has a jackshaft setup with a reduction of 7:1, however with some sprockets I can change that to 15:1 if I wanted to. So I am open to a motor that I can fit in place of the current engine. Fabricating a mount is no problem/on me.
Hub motors are OK too. Regen braking would be nice, disc would be nice but I don't care much for rear brakes. The 4-piston hyd with 200mm rotor is enough on the front.
Old bike in signature link. New frame has WAY more room. Thanks!
