Hello All,
I am in the process of building a similar bike to the Stealth, although I am trying to keep MY budget under 1000-1500 bucks. I am a skilled fab guy that just found out how cool these E-bikes can be and decided to build the Kicker of all AMERICAN BUILT E-bikes. I know its very similar to the Stealth, but I am in no way copying their design, I have only seen them and liked the lines, this bike will have a standard crank, and derailleur w/gears and should hopefully do over 45MPH!I am going to start around 80 volts and move up to 100 if the motor will take it. I am new to this dc motor stuff and appreciate any help you have to offer, and thanks to the guys who have already helped out on other threads! Here is the chassis thus far, I am still fine tuning the design to make it all fit nicely and be as light as possible. I am shooting for well under 100 LBS but we will see!
