My other half recently got an ebike, and as much as I love riding with her, there's no keeping up for long going 15mph on a BMX. Only logical solution was to get a 20" Hub kit and get to work.
Ended up buying a Yosepower 250W front hub. Doesn't take much to get up to speed on this bike so don't need much torque, rather something to keep me going once I reach 10 / 15MPH.
Not a fan of wires going allover the frame so I'm planning to keep things simple with an console in the handlebar's centre which has wheel / brakes / throttle / lcd wires directly feeding in as well as holding controller and separate battery space to swap out easily. Should make for a slick solution.
Got a 10S4P battery on order which will fit nicely in the centre console. Currently working on a CAD which I'll 3D print and reinforce with Carbon Fibre cloth. Recently built an enclosure for an electric skateboard this way with 6 layers of CF cloth and turned out rock solid.
More to come
EDIT: Final build
