100 W
After years of reading this forum, i finally put together the `El Supreme`.
- A Commencal Supreme Race 2010 mod, 160mm All-mountain bike.
- GNG Brushless Middrive 1000->?W
- LightningRods Adjustable sheets (powdercoated)
- 4 x Turnigy lipo 22.2v, 5Ah ~> 48V, 10Ah
- Cycle Analyst w/external shunt
- Turnigy MEGA 400W X2 charger with a Turnigy 540W powersupply
- Weight: 18 kg bike + 4 kg motor + 3.2 kg battery = 25.2 kg total.
And yesterday i had my first ride
This is fun... I immediately started riding it like a motorcycle, and felt the lack of power.
After readjusting my expectations, and using the gears better, this is actually a really fast bike.
With standard controller i got approx 20A at 46V = 920 watts, which gave me a top speed of 40 km/h on the flats.
I'm going to modify the bike/motor/controller to give me more power in the future.
This is not a bike i need for commuting, only for fun
I used a Dremel to soften the edges of the motor pulley and am hoping this will extend the lifetime of the belt.
I'm going to mod the shunt to give me 30A and hope the primary belt will hold without slipping..
With 1500w this is gonna be i nice ride, but I'm sure I'll be wanting more.
Guessing the next step would be running a new controller at 66 volts, and a slip-on motor pulley with a eno in a 120t freewheel.
The controller and CA is attached using Sugru, a silicone plastelina goo, that hardens to a rubber like glue. Perfect for diy applicatins like this
I see a battery tray fastened to the tubing with Sugru and hoseclamps in the future...
I'm going to tidy the power cables, and apply a switch and maybe a fuse. Do i need a fuse? and if so, what type?
So far I'm really happy with this bike. No troubles while building or riding puts a grin on my face..
I'll post an update after the shunt mod....
