Figure I should say hello and explain myself before I get into deep discussion on some of my ideas.

So yeah. I'm starting a business selling ebikes scooters and skateboards. I have always been an electronics hobbiest and have a degree in computer and office tech. Last summer I built a 1000w voilamart dd hardtail and sold it. About 2 weeks later I got a Schwinn ec1 for 200 dollars because the guy shorted his charger and released the magic smoke. I know it's a 36v 10.4ah and a 250 watt geared rear hub and I believe it is a Bafang motor but the controller is built in the battery and it's a proprietary one. I was planning on doing a controller swap and running it at 48v as I have a bunch of killer Panasonic 48v packs and LG 44v packs. However I have recently decided to go the mid drive route on a nice mid 90s GT Avalanche AL I picked up last week. I was leaning towards the tsdz2 but I think the BBS02 will be better for me as I ride off road quite a bit and live in a generally hilly area anyway.

Being such a doe hard geek I really LOVE the OSFW people are working on. I have been using open source software for a solid 15 years and I love the concept of people writing great software for the sake of the community having great software to use. I'm also planning on trying to implement a raspberry pi for not just data logger but as my music player, turn signals, rear view camera, and anything else I can make a sensor work for. I'm still not sure why were not using a pi as a display and programmer but I'm sure they would be if it was possible.

Anyway I really want to thank everyone here as I've been lurking for a couple years but didn't have any reason to reply to anything.

I am really looking forward to becoming an ACTIVE member now o:) and I am always looking for someone constructive criticism or just general advice.

If anyone knows what motor is used in the Schwinn ec1 please let me know because it desperately needs new gears and clutch...

Good luck in finding gears for that motor :thumb:

Though it might be a bafang hub motor

The first step in determining that is good clear pictures of the entire motor outside, most especially any markings of any kind on it.
