Is there any business or individual that sells an assembled ebike that uses a Chrystalyte motor and uses Li-FePo4 battery technology?
I ask this question because I'm sick of kits. I have had good success with building two different ebikes using Chrystalyte motors. One ebike used lead-acid batteries which was popular back in the day. It worked well and was fairly fast (although extremely heavy), clocking in at about 42MPH. I parted that ebike out when I built my second ebike which used a different Chrystalyte motor and Lithium Polymer batteries. It was a real screamer, attaining a speed of 50MPH. Unfortunately the Lithium Polymer batteries were quite flammable and during a charging cycle in my attached garage caught fire and burned down most of my house in the process. Thus my intense dislike for Lithium-Polymer batteries.
I believe that LiFePo4 batteries are not flammable (or at least not nearly as flammable as Lithium Polymer batteries). I could be wrong about that assumption. Anyway, assuming they are OK, I would like to purchase a prebuilt ebike that uses a Chrystalyte motor and have LiFePo4 batteries. My question is where to buy such an ebike that is already assembled.
Thanks for your time.
