Hi friends,
i think for cells 18650 is said to be the cheapest and the smallest cells. it will has the most cells in a pack to build up a 48v 20hr. my vpower 48v 20hr/ 710 watts total, (actual is 15hr) still perform very well on the run. i have a strong feel, that this 38140s / 12hr each cell/ headways cells are better perform vpower cells. they are 10c cells really stay higher speed = 1km more. i hope there are more people user and post some reviews about the cells 38140s, i am waiting. i can get 51km/h constant speed....That time was i was going home, down a express way a bridge , the stretch of 7km. that road i have to full throttle All the way to keep me safe. other road i will be running 45km/h at least. i have ride 3100km 7th nov 2010. i think my build is completed. some MTB Really needs a troque arm plates+ troque arm to hold the hub from not fall out the bicycle.
i saw ebay do sell individual charger. BMI battery also sell individual some times ago. Ypedal owns them too.
ludiagsm2, your two hub motor looks very nice+ matching design. i am not too sure to add more power to the ebike or not, or should i increase the top speed to 60km/h ? i ask my friend 70kg to try my ebike for top speed, he got 48km/h.
