Tench, Amazing build. Not only is your attention to detail on the frame build and layout very professional, but the electronics of the charge block, and even down to the case for the charger, you didnt miss a thing! I too would like more details on the charge/run block. I'm going LiPo's, and...

Thanks b1, That is really interesting that the stock controller can handle...I'm guessing the controller is still limiting to 20amps, so at 50v that's 1000w...motor will probably take that....amazing that he is not using a Cycle Analyst to see actual amps, volts, etc...Hmmmm anyone want need a...

I was looking at this controller....which would hook into my CA so I can set max amps, speed, etc, and I could still go to 48v down the road...opinions? Only problem I have is right now the controller in the PX has a very clean installation inside a plastic box, that the battery slides into and...

So the PX has a thumb throttle and rides along just fine with out pedaling at around 17 mph on flat, no wind....so it's not a traditional PAS at all. You punch the throttle and go.... What they have done with the controller that I like and dislike (a bit :wink: ) is to use the hall sensors to...

So the bike frame feels solid, not flexing. I'm 200 lbs, and I don't notice any bad qualities in the ride on rough roads, other than the broken rack mentioned above, but that was any easy fix. The bike on flats goes around 18-20mph with pedaling. The CA shows the amps drop slowly from about...

Yes, the beams support the battery, but one problem, the welds on the rack can pop on bumps.....like this.... But, and easy fix at Home Depot....Steel wire organizers with rubber inserts....strong and more flexible than a weld at that spot....Too much stress from the long battery...but...

So, I added a couple of things right away.... Must have a Cycle Analyst, great product! http://www.ebikes.ca/drainbrain.shtml Fenders from Topeak: http://www.topeak.com/products/Fenders/DeFenderFX Mirror: http://www.rei.com/product/723518/mirrycle-mountain-bike-mirror Longer seat post...

Neatly packed boxes inside: Battery very well protected: Manual, tools, charger etc.... And 15 mins later......

So, the box was a bit banged up, but nothing damaged due to excellent packing....

It was after reading this very informative thread, I was in a similar position to Tuxman. I wanted a commute bike, pre-built, 15 miles round trip to work, steep hill at work end...etc. I went out and test rode an E+ Bike, with the battery in the front hub, rear direct hub drive...Nice bike...

M Magnet, I read a bunch about Prodeco on this site, and was skeptical too, until I picked up the phone and called them. Steve is great. Answered all my questions. He even checked his dealer inventory, found a bike in stock at one of his re-sellers, and 3 days later, it was in my garage...

Actually, Yes, I've been known to dabble in architecture, along with Import/Export, marine biology, etc.... That Scooter bike of yours looks great.

Baltiace1, I've had my Phantom X for about a month now, over 240 miles, other than a broken weld on the rack from the long battery pac, I've really enjoyed it and it's been flawless performance. One big gripe I have is the 20 mph restriction. The speed controller reduces the amps (confirmed...
