Hi everyone i have lurked around the forum for a bit while building my ebike and it’s always been a good source of knowledge and know how.
Just wanted to share my build with others and hope to become a useful member of the forum.
I decided to build my ebike to mainly commute to work as most of the way is cycle path with only a couple of miles of road section and fairly flat going.
I already had the bike a voodoo bizango 29er with disk brakes so used that as the doner bike, I went with a BBSHD 1000w mid drive as the thought of higher torque from the geared motor would come in handy off road and I’m a big guy at 210lbs ish.
I built my own 52v 14s6p battery using the vruzend battery system, from recycled laptop battery’s to start with but soon changed to some new Sanyo 18650GA cells in theory I should have 21ah in my pack I think?
I usually get about 15 miles of pas before the power cuts out not sure if it’s bms or the bbs controller that is cutting power maybe due to voltage sag? that’s on power mode 2 averaging 500w pas on display read out and averaging 25mph with a good peddle effort does that sound about right?
Thanks
Jon
