Hello everyone,





I’m currently working on a customizable 72V e-bike conversion project and would appreciate some feedback from experienced builders here.





The concept is a configurable system in the range of 1000W up to 3000W, based on a 72V battery setup (25–40Ah depending on customer needs). Target range is approximately 70–100 km depending on riding style and configuration.





Main focus:


• Hub motor solutions


• Matched controller setup


• Clean cable management


• Custom battery integration


• Long-term reliability





The idea is to develop this as a winter build project, so everything is ready for the riding season.





I’m especially interested in opinions regarding:


• Optimal controller pairing for 72V / 3000W setups


• Battery configuration (cell choice & BMS reliability)


• Thermal management at higher sustained loads


• Best practices for safe 72V wiring layouts





This is intended for off-road / private property use only.





Any technical feedback, improvement ideas, or component recommendations are highly appreciated.





Looking forward to your input.
 
• Custom battery integration
What does this mean? Proprietary frame form fitting battery?

You're really asking for a really voluminous time-consuming answer. How much do you know already? What's your experience level? Expertise level?

• Battery configuration (cell choice & BMS reliability)
For this, we need to know more about usage scenario. (speeds, hill steepness and duration, load)

• Thermal management at higher sustained loads
Statorade, more copper in motor.

• Best practices for safe 72V wiring layouts
Drip loops, shrink tubing connections w/ sealant?

This is intended for off-road / private property use only.
What kind of off-road? Fire roads? Singletrack? Hillclimbing?
