Yeah, but that's the general idea.. it's going to be Branded with my website etc and used for promotional drives. So attention grabbing is the whole point !
It has pedals and a chain.. it's a bicycle ( Thank god i'm not in Florida ! )
So.. ok.. it will have an X5302 in a 20" rear with a fat tire.. and a 48v 25ah LiFePo4 battery but it's a Power-Assist bicycle !!!

It'll be gutless with a 5302, even in a 20" wheel. Give it some good acceleration with a 5304" in a 20" wheel! At 48 volts it'll still go 40kph or so, says the simulator.

That is a slick bike, reminds me of a jaguar!

Gutless? I think not...
I've driven this motor before on my norco with 12ah sla's at 48v... she got me up to 65 km/h no problem at all.... the 40 amp drain was too much for the batteries.. but the motor pulled like a champ !

You could always use a Fechterized 100A controller too.
The frame looks like it was made for holding a big pile of batteries

How bout 65 amps !.. the BMS is pre-set to a 75 amp limit. 65 would give me almost 4 kw !!.. weeeeeeeee..
Depending on the width of the rear frame i may have to slap that sucker into the front wheel.
The rear has a Sturney Archer 3 speed with disk, so i may keep that intact if i get it, and lace up a 24" fron wheel... time will tell. I have all X5's at my disposal right now, so i have the option of what ever i want !

Do it Ypedal! It could be like a mini-killacycle.
IMO, performance should at least equal looks, else looks are just hollow reminders of what the machine should be.
