As the Hub Motor Turns and the LiPo Fire Burns. 18650 - 6S pack. Low power but functional and totally stealth.
Google maps tell me it was 0.6 miles to the grocery store and 1.2 miles on the return trip going a different way. That plus the Wall-Mart parking lot I went approx. 2 miles with the new pack. Bottom picture shows voltage upon return.
Power was low. 10 mph 12 if lucky. It is in a low pedal gear but can pedal a little faster than the motor will go on the flat. I have to pedal with the heels of my feet as there is not much room with the fake saddle bags but I will get used to it.
On the way back I passed two or three police about 10 feet away. I did not notice them until I passed them. It was a police van and squad car out in front of Wall-Mart. Two officers were standing by the entrance and one was looking right at me. :lol:
I think they were there for a shoplifter maybe, My motor was running and I went passed also pedaling. There was a little noise coming from my motor as it is not nearly as quiet as the geared hub motor However their engines were running so I don't think they noticed.
Without pedal assist it wont even make it up a small hill and to get more range two 6S packs in series would be better. however for groceries and Wall-Mart I think I can live with it the way it is for now. I had issues with the chain coming loose before and it would be a pain in the a s s to have to pedal it any distance.
Also with the way I hid the motor I would need to take out a screw and cut a few zip ties to get to the bolts. I checked it when I got back and the chain was tight. I will recharge the pack and try to do a video in a few days in the parking lot. Thanks.
