My only e-bike experience involves one of these kits about 10 years ago. It was a 48v, 1,000watt wheel motor and it would do and maintain 30mph on a flat rode on a 26" mountain bike. I thought it was decent at the time. Seems like it had about 10 mile range. Was looking at 52 and 72v kits...

Was looking at these. Sure they are nice. Expensive too. https://laidbackcycles.com/collections/recumbent-trikes That got me looking at these. Has anyone here built one? I want to put an ebike kit on it. https://www.chopzone.com/trikes.htm#nav

Just mount it on either the side of the swing arm, back of the seat, on the battery, or on the boom.

Definitely hook up some water cooling to that poor Zilla.

I'd say it's a matter of packaging and convenience. Can you get more A123 cells if you ever need more? Otherwise; get a couple CAMS and bolt them up and go! Prices: http://store.evtv.me/products.php?cat=10 Or if in California; drive down to the warehouse and pick some up direct...

It looks a lot different than I imagined it would. You'll have to see it in motion for the full effect. He also describes how to build one in the video: BhbhjTovXZE

That em3 kit is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Alright people; here we are almost a year later and I am still not riding an electric bike. I've had a lot of hobbies over the years and I've never seen anything like this that is so fragmented and scattered. Odds and ends on ebay, amazon, and countless hard to find and unknown sites all over...

You can do it using this: http://store.evtv.me/proddetail.php?prod=gevcu&cat=23

The auto manufacturers are in an interesting quandary. A "small pack", say around 100 miles charges in the times you all are familiar with. Double the size of the pack... double the amount of time to recharge using current methods? Sure, you can have 200 - 500+ mile range. But the recharge...

Good video. I enjoyed it.
