heres my first post on this forum....so hello all
thought id wait till i was a bit more "up to speed" before i joined
heres a bicycle that is now a motorcycle curtesy of a 1000w 48v hub motor kit and 4x 20ah 12v sla batteries. it has a few other tweeks of my own devices aswell.
i get 27mph uphill, 30mph on the flats and 35-36mph downhill. the battery lasts for around an hour and a half. and its a dream to ride. charging does take around 8 hours. it weighs around 50kgs
ive added caps in parrallel to the batteries to lessen the peukert effect, theyve added around 20 - 30 min in runtime and a bit more torque from a standstill.
so far its cost me under £300 to build and i plan on going to 60v in future for a bit more speed.
let me know what you think or feel free to ask me questions about it all
thanks in advance jim
