In addition to developing VESC based open source controllers, I would also like to convert a cruiser style motorycle to electric for funsies. I have absolutely no experience with this and my mechanical design skills are not even close to my electrical...which aren't the best either. I have spent time assessing potential batteries, BMS, motors, and motor controllers. I will list what I have found but this thread is to open up the possibilities with advice from more experienced or smarter people than I. I don't want a hyper driven torque rocket to help shorten my life span, just a cruiser with above average acceleration that will reach about 90mph max. Budget is max of $3.5k USD for everything. Here's what I've found so far for components.
Donor Bike
Any scrapped harley Sportster or Honda/Yamaha cruiser style bike
Battery
16s 45ah modules. At least 2 in parallel. 7C continuous and 10C pulse

BMS
300A smart BMS from Ali. Has been tested and reviewed extensively by others on the sphere.
Motor
ME1304 or similar or bigger if need be. I need help with this one as someone has already advised that the shaft may not hold up to the torque needed for this application
Controller
Mobipus. Easier to acquire and program for the DIYer than something like a sevcon. Kelly seems to have a bad reputation but if someone has a success story for something like my application then I'll hear it.
I welcome anyone with good knowledge, experience, or insight to provide advice on these component choices. Thanks!
