OK so please forgive my noobness, I've been reading the boards, and I'm trying to settle on a setup before I start ordering a ton of stuff that doesn't fit / work.
I'm thinking about building this bike:
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/fat-bikes/fat-bikes-boris-x5-fatbikes.htm
Wanted to get a 72V10AH 24s Lipo battery + HT3525 high torque hub motor and run 40A controller.
Question #1 ....... where can I find a rim that will accommodate the HT3525 in the rear of the bike? The rear hub on the bike now is 170mm.
Question #2 ....... any suggestions on a good 40 Amp controller?
Question #3 ....... do you think 4" fat tire bike with no suspension will be comfortable riding at 30-35mph on the streets? I wanted to get fat tire setup to give me some cushion as well as ability to go over crazy bumps in the road.
Thanks in advance!!!!
