Hello!
I recently noticed that im not as interested in my usual hobbies as I used to be. So I got this weird idea of picking up a new hobby but with a twist. Goal: To build a low tier, safe ebike with a 20 mile range and 20mph and sell it for profit. This bike is for riding in paved areas 90% of the time, being able to go off road just for those cases where the bike path is broken and you have to go off road to be safe from traffic.
Looking for the best bang for the money of course. I wont mention a budget, from what ive been able to see, it usually leads to arguing. Why did I make a whole new thread? I keep finding these long budget ebike threads where people debate components based on their personal preference of cost, speed, range, safety etc. seems like they tend to get side tracked easily.
Just a quick reply with your recommendation of parts (bike, motor, controller, batteries) and why and what would you expect the bike to sell for. Any help would be appreciate it and I intend to make the info public just in case anyone else wants to make the same bike to sell.
Bike
Motor
36V 750W (USA Limit)
Controller
Battery
Seems like 500wh battery would be appropriate for this project
I also worked with electronics before. I know how to solder and read schematics. Perhaps I can order 1850 batts and make the pack myself but not sure if it'll pay for the time invested.
