Hi my name is Patrick and I am new to this forum. I have been looking at this forum for the last year or so and decided to try my luck at building an electric bike. I had a specialized hardrock sitting around collecting dust so I figured it would be perfect for my project. I started with a scorpion 5525 170kv (good for about 2600 Watts) and changed it form delta to wye termination giving me around 100 kv. Im sure I will lose a few watts by doing that but I am just trying to make my bike as efficient as possible and only want a max speed around 25 or 30 mph. I plan to use 4 zippy 6s 8000mha packs ( 12s 2p ) and one of those cheap esc's from hobbking. I have most of the hard parts done now I just need the electronics and batteries. Let me know what you think. I am doing this project with very limited tools (chop saw, drill press, files, and some thread taps).
