Hello forum,
i am totally new here since i never deal till now with EV. I was searching and reading the forum and found interesting things, and i decided to register and there you my ideas and to get advices from the forum members.

So here it is:
- i have a Piaggion Ape 50 which i want to convert to electric
- i want it to be able to move with normal city speed - 40-70 kms/h
- i want it to be able to carry the normal weight for it - 200 kgs.
- i want t to be able to pass 50 - 60 kms in one charge

From what i red here it is better to keep the system running at 48V for better productivity and efficiency. So from there i was searching for a motor (not hub - i want to keep the existing braking and drive systems) and i found this Italian company and their product:

It is providing more than enough power i think and is with gears and diff.
So from here on i need help, what else i need more - controller/s, batteries, battery charger and etc.
So i will appreciate if you can help me with some guidance, advices or recommendations with my idea/project.

Sorry for asking so basic level questions, but as i said i am total newbie in this field.

Thanks in advance and cheers.
