Custom frame for HUB MIDDRIVE_ fully

neptronix said:
I think you are missing one critical part of the equation.
Why design a frame around a motor like this? a hub motor is the heaviest and one of the least efficient ways to design a mid drive.

You need to start thinking about dual or triple reduction drives of vastly lighter and more efficient motors.
I think you were looking at the 5" Transmag motor, and perhaps decided it was not what you are looking for.
What motors are you suggesting?
 
I built the frame for hub motors as mid drive.

I run the bike with a 2-stage reduction. So i thought of using a smaller motor with higher rpm; like this one: http://e-bike-diffusion.com/index.php?module=produit&prd_id=501&url_retour=http%253A%252F%252Fe-bike-diffusion.com%253A80%252Findex.php%253Fmodule%253Dcategorie%2526code_cat%253D24%2526page_start_num%253D1

@ crossbreak:
At the Kelly- page is written: • Configurable battery voltage range, B+. Max operating range: 18V to 60V.

So at 35A ~2000W seem to be correct.

Why would you advise me to go up to 72V ... I think 60V with little bit more amps will fit for my setup.
appart from that, i'm not going for maximum speed; I just want more tourque!

if you have a faster spinning motor, you can increase reduction, this leads to more torque. more important, the usable torque band grows, so you need less gear spread to go up the same hill or can go up a steeper hill with the same old spread.

these words are only true if you stay below the rpm were excessive parasitic loss start. for the 12pole big block alternative below 2000rpm ( you wont reach that even with 72V). or 460rpm for the motor you use now (guess it has 52poles). This is just a rule of thumb and depends on most common 0.5mm lams,

This motor already has it's own thread, feel free to join our discussion. IMO this motor is not suited for your drive.

The one you use is just fine. Just increase amps, voltage and tune your reduction. your drive has more potential than you might think
 
Great videos! Amazing how you guys can make a bike from scratch and be able to handle these power levels. Nice job!

How do these setups handle heat when going up hills?
 
Thanks,
Setting this bike up as it is now was very difficult. I alrerady rewound a 9c Hub to push more amps through. the "small" one I use now gets pretty hot right now.
But temperatur stays below 100°C.

Building your own bike from scratch and set it up right will give you some expirience and also ideas for improvement. I already developed a new frame which will be suitable for the BHT motor.
