E-bike + carbon frame + 52V. 18650 + BMC motor

[soaresdacosta]

Hello crew,

After a year collecting parts and learning with this forum... I'm going to begun my conversion...i hope. :lol:
This is meant to be a ongoing conversion...no rush :wink:
First, a especial thanks to joeFR, and is beautiful SCOOT ASPECT conversion...its been a inspiration to me, and a big help.
The big picture, its going to be: Cube analog disc 2012, size 20, Lyen 18x4115 controller, a old-school clyte 5306 and 24s 3p lippo.
Ok, some pictures:

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Nice looking bike. Should climb trees with that combo. Make sure you pay attention to really good torque arms on that badboy.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Well...start doing something...finally. 8)
I take the Crystalyte rim out...and will put the Sun-Rim in.
I have a new set of spokes, from J.H...but they are 14/15ga. 6 months ago, when i bought this spokes i don't want to drill the rim...but this motor is real heavy, and i think i will buy some 12ga from JH.
Since the motor is out, i will open some holes in the side covers, put some black paint, and try to fit bigger fase wires.
Its a lot of work, for the free time i have... i think i need some 48hours days.

Thanks Kepler.

Take care,

nooooo way!!! hahahahha

dude i like your bike! especially because we are building EXACTLY same bike!

now i rided THIS for 3000km+ http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/download/file.php?id=81149&mode=view

and going to the next step: lyen controllers and crystalyte motors.

feel free to contact me i can give you some good ideas for this frame

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

A little work...very little
Its the first time i build a well. Not too bad...i think. But I'm going to change the spokes, a upgrade to 12g.
I try with this ones just for practice, and, I'm glade i did it, because they are 5mm too long, and i be able to correct that on the 12g spokes I'm going to order to J.H.

I steam25, nice builds you have done, and nice bike you have for the next build... :lol:

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[ohzee]

Looks like a great combination of parts. Look forward to your build.

I really like that bike looks sharp.

 

[steam25]

how is your bike going?
yesterday i finished my first test ride and go up to 94km/h with both motors at 6000W together. how much will you use on your motor?

 

[rojitor]

Bem-vindo soaresdacosta, i have a 5306 too, the hell of a good torque. Good luck with your project.

 

[soaresdacosta]

"Bem-vindo soaresdacosta, i have a 5306 too..."
Gracias rojitor.
Are you happy with your 5306 ? Do you have a build page here ?
Take care.

 

[nonlineartom]

This build looks great. I'm in the 5306 club too. I've just this week got hold of a decent full suspension frame so as soon as I've got something to show I'll put photos up. I'm going for 24s 100A

 

[rojitor]

"Bem-vindo soaresdacosta, i have a 5306 too..."
Gracias rojitor.

Take care.

yes i like it very much, i wish it were lighter nevertheless is stronger than the ht. I made several builds so far yet i am too lazy to make a build page, sooner or later i will do it.

 

[soaresdacosta]

"This build looks great. I'm in the 5306 club too..."
Hi nonlineartom, I already see your videos in YouTube...5306 + trike = FUN.
I read you upgrade your phase wires. Whats the size, you put there ? Modifications on the axle ?

Take care.
Luis Costa.

I got my 5306 pre-upgraded, I think they are 8 or 10 gauge phase wires with very thin teflon insulation rather than thick rubber. Tight fit out of the axle. The trike has been sold now, but I kept the 5306, thats going in my FS frame build for summer trail riding. It needs 66 or 88V to get up some heart racing speed, too slow at 44V

 

[soaresdacosta]

OK... some free time, to do some work, on the bike.
I open the motor, and going to drill the side plates.
But first, i need some tools, like a drill-press...and, since I'm doing this inside off my house, i try to put everything as clean as i can...
After the drilling i will put a temperature probe, and i will try to fit some bigger wires.

 

[soaresdacosta]

OK, I finish drilling the first cover... :wink: The drilling, is the easy part, take measures is very boring.
One done...one to go.

 

[NeilP]

I used 12 gauge spokes too, on my 5304, but a lot of people seem to say that gong with the thinner spokes on a bike rim is better than the thicker spokes. if you use spokes that are to thick, you can not put enough stretch on them, and they become loose quicker. I do not know what to recommend, but just letting you know that thicker spokes is not necessarily the way to go to make a stronger wheel. Sometimes a thinner spoke under greater tension is stronger than thicker spokes.

Also having the bend of the spoke on the outside and not on the inside, is supposed to make a laterally stiffer wheel, so feed the spoke through the hole from the inside, so the nipple is inside

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi NeilP,

Well, i have 13/14 gauge black spokes, bought from J.H., and i already try them on my wheel...but i think they are to slime and the motor to heavy.
Last week i receive my 12 gauge spokes from J.H. I believe, that's the way to go...but if its not, i will change to my 13/14 gauge spokes.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[soaresdacosta]

OK, not to much work done... but i receive some toys, from H.K.

 

[soaresdacosta]

And i receive 12ga wires, to change my phase leads.
I believe it will be OK. Or not ? Maybe try to fit 10ga wires ?

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

This build its taking to loooong... but...i finish a very boring job.
No its time for another job. Put some black color...

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[Rodney64]

I'm in the process of having a 5305 laced into a rim. Hope to have it shortly. Also running 24s lipo

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi Rodney64,

I already try to lace this motor into a rim...just for practice. After i finish the "upgrades" in the motor I'm going to lace-it with 12ga spokes.
Slow process

Take care.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi Guys,

Since life got in the way... my build stop for long time.
Now, I will try to finish my bike.

So... I finish my paint job, on the motor, put 10g wires, outside the axle i put 8g. Install a temperature probe and change the bearings.
I make some test fit on the bike, and there is some minor tuning to do...

More to come,
Luis Costa.

 

[soaresdacosta]

In the meantime. I receive some parts.

A mid-mount for the cycle-analyst,
A power-supply,
The charger,
And the first four, of twelve batteries. Every cell, arrive at 3.81 / 3.82.

The next step...torque-arms.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

Its time to make a batteries box. In my Country (PORTUGAL), its hard times on the economics... so, its hard to find a company, for make some customs parts. I find one, and they are make-me a very big favor, for building an aluminium box for me, for the modest price of 400€ wtf...
So, i buy some acrylic and start to build my one. Well, its not easy, but not very hard, its very time consuming.

Take care,
Luis Costa.
