Hi Guys,
I have been a long time lurker and seldom poster but I have finally collected the majority of the parts for my first e-bike build. I am super excited to get this rolling!
I created this post to document my build progress. I will share any of the challenges and successes I encounter and over come. I hope someone down the line can use the information in this post in their own build! I apologize for the poor quality photos, I will try and find a better camera in the future.
Lets get to it!
PARTS
Bike: 2004 Giant Downhill Team
Status: Received
Purchased this bike used off Kijiji for aprox 500$ CAD. It is very clean and in good shape. The only part that needs repairing is the bottom bracket.
Motor: Cromotor laced with DX-32 Alexrims by JRH
Status: Received
Purchased this motor from a member on the forums who had it shipped to our own JRH for lacing. After it is all said and done this cost me approx $1100.00 CAD.
Controller: Lyen 18 FET 4115 MOSFET 84-132V Real Highway Speed Controller

Batteries: 30s Turnigy Lipo @ 10AH ( 10 batteries total). 111v Nominal charge.
Status: Received
Purchased these from HobbyKing.com. Because I live in Canada, I had to split my purchase up into two shipments. This hurt the wallet quite a bit. Aprox $1100 CAD
Dropouts: Kiwi custom built no cut dropouts

Drive train: Schlumpf high-speed-drive

I must find out if this compatible work with my bike.
Status: Not Ordered Yet
DESIGN
Simple foam core and zip-tie mock-up of how I plan on mounting my batteries and controller to the bike. I plan on running 10, 6S Turnigy 20c 5AH batteries in a 111v 10AH configuration.
I plan on running a single speed in the rear with a Schlumpf front de-railer which contains an internal gear system for low and high speed.
Please feel free to leave any questions or comments... I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks,
Binlagin
