Hi all. I've been tinkering with a home-made ebike for a while, and it's not gotten anywhere in the last couple years. Today I picked up a used one that someone made from a kit.

The previous owner knew nothing about it, but for the price he was asking, I couldn't pass it up. Turns out its a 48V 1000W motor powered by 4 12V lead acid batteries.

Not sure what brand. There doesn't seem to be a company name anywhere. There's only one marking on the controller.

The frame is too tall for me, so I plan to move everything to a smaller frame, and maybe replace the batteries with lithium. For now though, I'm pretty jazzed that it works and it's mine!
