I am trying to keep it under $1500 but could stretch to $2k. The issue is with a $2k budget, I could just get a CYC x1 pro with battery and call it a day. The road is pretty steep and I think most of the ebay kits might oveheat, not to mention the controllers are not waterproof either.

I have had good luck with the Hailong style batteries from electrifybike.com. For example they sell a 14s 4p Samsung 21700 50G pack with 50A BMS 1040Wh for $600. I am pretty in shape and plan on pedaling pretty hard. I weigh 120lbs, but will prob have 30lbs of bags. I am going to use a hardtail...

Hey everyone! I sold my BBS02 and am looking to join the dark side. I am starting from scratch on a build. I need to build a mountain bike for commuting up a 10 mile, 2300 foot climb, mixed paved and dirt road. Avg grade is 5.6% max grade is 12%. I will also use it for flat commutes but it is ok...

HAHA. Hey at least I tried to check with a multimeter first. Those connectors are small for my probe though so I couldn't get a reading.

Amazon kit: 36v CYC: 52v (although the display should work at 36v)

Hi, I got a 36v 250w rear wheel kit from ebikeling.https://www.amazon.com/EBIKELING-Waterproof-Electric-Bicycle-Conversion/dp/B07MG8CGK9/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ebikeling+36v+rear&qid=1608502811&sr=8-2 I have been unable to get it to turn on. I connected the wiring harness to everything...

Really interesting stuff! 30mph is not completely necessary, but I assumed that this motor could definitely do both without problems even on a 29er. Having a wind like this should allow for better efficiency at slower speeds, which is perfect for this build. I am excited to do the build, I will...

Yeah thanks for the info. Yeah 40 miles is pretty far, but there would definitely be a good amount of human help. I will see if I can get a bigger battery. The other option was to get a BBSHD or a CYC x1 pro, but I think my money would be better spent on getting this motor and spending the extra...

Hey everyone! This motor looks sick! I want to get one for a 29er full suspension mountain bike. I will be riding it on some pretty good road hills, so I was thinking of asking for a 30mph top speed. Do you think it would run well off a 52v 40-AMP 14Ah battery? I am trying to get 40 miles off a...

Hi everyone. Im starting the install and had a few questions. I am trying to find out how the mounting hardware works. I bought my kit from Luna cycles and it came with 2 thick brackets. Its going on a fatbike with 105mm BB spacing. The bottom bracket they gave me is too wide, how do I move the...

Just bought the kit for my fatbike from Luna. Using 9 6s lipos (66.6v), isis bottom bracket and cranks, and 44-48-26 triple chainring. Decided on the Bluetooth controller, didn't want too much clutter on the handlebars. No e brake cutoff either. I will be programming a Arduino to do fun things...

Thanks for the reply! Those Bosch batteries look nice, but my brother can get genuine Panasonic 18650 cells for $4.5 a piece. It will probably be worth it to make our own. What controller are you going to be using? I am fine modding the motor mounts, I have access to a machine shop. Sounds...

Hey everyone! Fairly new to the E-Bike scene and I have decided that I am getting a cyclone. I started off with a BBs02 on a mountain bike, but I want something more exciting. I bought a Motobecane fatbike today used for $400! It will be excellent. I will be making my own pack. Thinking maybe...
