I think Im leaning more to the hub motors you suggested, especially because of the budget the wife gave me... In your link there is a dual front/rear hub motor kit for a few bucks more. Whats your opinion on going that route? Also Update to the first post...

The route I take is not a gentle continuous 1.66% grade for the whole 1.2miles, its more like 3% for a 1/3rd of a mile, 1% for another 1/3rd, and 4% for the last 1/3rd... These numbers were from the Ebike simulator, so I doubt they are 100% accurate, which is why I have been asking for your...

Just finished running through all the motors in the simulator... Here are the top performers, in order of best to worst, with the parameters set with, 48v 11Ah eZee LiMn, 25AIRFB4110 controller, 26in wheel, Mountain Bike, 440lbs gross weight, and 4% grade. 1. eZee 250rpm - 7.9mi Range, Never...

Hahaha, you would think with how many times I looked at the diagrams and had read that, it would have clicked... Thanks for catching that for me, updating the posts... I've thought about running the higher Ah lipos and for now decided against it for now unless I cant get the range I'm looking...

Short of talking to someone that has the bike, Im not finding any other details about it...

I was looking at getting 6 Turnigy 5000mAh 4S1P 14.8v 20C Hardcase Pack. You have 2 of these wired in parallel, which will double the Ah from 5Ah to 10Ah, so if I have three of these pairs wired in series to increase its voltage, I go from 10Ah to 30 Ah...

Update to what I am looking at right now. Bike ~ Kingpin 8Ball MTB Bicycle Trailer ~ Allen Sports Premium Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer Motor ~ Looking into either a BBSHD or a 48V 1000W 26" Rear Wheel Electric Bicycle Motor Conversion Kit Batteries ~ Turnigy 5000mAh 4S1P 14.8v 20C Hardcase...

DrunkSkunk, I am not new to Lipos, and have been using them since back when they were dangerous, since then they have become a lot more refined and safer to use. The people that cause lipo fires are just idiots, cue the Hover board fires, Yes if you don't properly balance each cell or over...

Thanks for the Reply Wesnewell, I see those are only 48v motors, am I correct in assuming I will need a higher voltage controller or can they handle the 74v as is? Thank you Dogman Dan, don't worry about it, I came here with an idea and next to no knowledge on the systems so I fully expected...

Greetings Programs! :D I've been lurking for a few days and have been youtubing E-bikes for a few days longer. A lot of what I have read is still gibberish to me, keep it simple for me Please. I plan to use this topic as a Q/A page and then later after the refinement a Build page. I will also...
