New Build

I was riding my kona smoke around town when I saw an old crappy bike frame on the side of the road with a free sign by it. Next thing I know I have another project on my hands. Here are the components I'm using:

-DBR (diamondback racing) V-Link 1.2 frame
-HXT 80-100b
-CC HV110 controller with added caps and heatsinks
-dimension engineering VHVBEC
-2.3 KWH of thundersky cells with ping bms and charger

Here are some pics:





The motor is going to be mounted on the cantilever brake mounts in front of the rear tire while the batteries are going to be in rear panniers. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Why not put the batts in front of the rear wheel? It looks like you have plenty of room there.

I'm trying to keep it looking as much like a bicycle as possible, and I thought that panniers would sort of cover the drivetrain. Also, with the batteries in the frame it would start to look like a motorcycle. Your idea would make for a more stable ride, though...

I should have some more pictures by tonight of my progress.
