I’m starting a new build.
I’m an amputee, Right leg, and my girlfriend is a fanatic ATB rider and in the weekends she go on trips for trips from 40km -80km (25/50mls), mostly singletrack.
A few weeks ago a friend lend me his Bultaco elektric ATB (2Kw motor, 50V/26ah 1,3KwH) to ride along with her.
The battery lasted only 35km (22mls) It Is impossible to buy a lager battery for the Bultaco, and i started looking for other options.
Concerns:
Battery had to last for 80Km single track. Bultaco did 35km with 1,3kwh, so it must be 3kwh.
Motor power 2kw
Light if possible
Compact, because we have to transport a normal ATB en My MTB ebike in a Citroen Berlingo.
Durable, fail proof. Since i have only one leg, and cannot walk if the bike fails.
Budget
After several weeks searching on the internet, i decided to build my own.
With the info i found here on the forum here i went for:
Qulbix frame.
Build my own Battery 72V/44,8 Ah 3,2KwH
Kelly controller KBS72121X
Cycle Analyst V3
A donor ATB bike fort he parts
A Crown or cromotorV3 (for reasons of finance, the first motor wil ba a Crystalyte Gmotor thati have from a preveus project.
The people at Qulbix told me that i needed a 140 wide frame to fit this large battery, but my calculations told me that i can do with an 75 small frame, and i want the controller inside the frame.
At this point i received almost all the parts i need, en started building.
First the design of the battery. It’s not easy to cramp a 3,3Kwh battery +controller inside a Qulbix 75 frame.
Next is to finish the battery and mount it together wit the controller.
To be continued…..
Tips from you, experienced builders are always welcome.
