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

[soaresdacosta]

With this batterie box, i try to achieve, an easy way to take the batteries out of the bike, and store in a safe place...

 

[soaresdacosta]

Try to see the space I have. For now, its going to be 24s2p. In the future, If I want, I can upgrade for 3p.
After check the space for the batteries, i start some tests on the best way to glue the box together. I believe the "3M 420" will win the contest.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Hi guys,

Still building my batterie box...a lot of cutting, grinding, sanding...put some brackets, and they give a lot of straight to the box.
For now, I'm happy with the result...still much work to do.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Hi guys,

At least, its turning around ok. I never try Acrylic, and the result so far its god.
Still work to do.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Nice build! Maybe it is easy to use removable sidepannels. I found out that it is handy to get by the battery's on both sides

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi Secret1511,

One side-panel going to be removable. The screws in the picture, is just to sand and grind the acrylic.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Hi Guys,

Just a little update...
I secure my box in the frame. I have 2 bottle holders, and have use that, to put 4 screws and a steel plate. I still have to secure in the top of the box...maybe Velcro straps ? I don't no...
I cover all the screws with some "epoxy puti" and finish with some sanding. Still some work to do, before i cover everything with carbon-fiber vinyl.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Hi guys,

Like a lot of you, I install a temperature probe in my motor...a BBQ style. But for reading the temperature, I want a more discrete solution.
Since the batterie box, is still in the building process...now, its the right time.
I chose the location, because its the only place in the Top of the box, I don't need the add more wire. If I have to solder more wire, maybe more resistance, and the readings not so accurate ?

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

Time to start put some toys on the bike.
I want to put them, before i finish my battery box, because i want to put the cables, and make the connections inside of the box...just for a more clean look.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Your build looks to be coming across quiet nicely.
I was wondering where abouts you got the carbon fiber mount for the CA from?

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi Falco

The mount for the CA...is just a normal mount from Ebikes.ca. http://ebikes.ca/store/photos/CA_SteerBracket.jpg
...then paint black, and put some vinyl carbon fiber.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[Falco]

Haha nice work! You Throw me off with the packet and it look just like the real think in the photos.
Lots of attention to detail which is nice

Hi guys,

Thanks for the nice words...its good to hear some complements, wen you put a lot of work and time in something. :wink: :wink:
For the first time I establish a deadline...to the end of the year...yes, this year.
I would like to build some parts in a different way, but...its the tools I have...and the skills of course.

Take care.
Luis Costa.

 

[veloman]

You look like you are doing a good job. Keep at it.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

"You look like you are doing a good job. Keep at it." Thanks veloman.

The work continues. I fixed my temperature reader to my batterie box, and install a better switch, to turn on and off...its powered by one 1.5 Volts batterie.
Still some work to do, before I 100% finish this task.

Take care guys,
Luis Costa.

Did you lace the wheel with the 12 gauges spokes yet? Just wonder if the 12 gauge nipples will fit...maybe they will be too big and you WILL have to drill the rim to fit the 12 gauge nipples...I think if you have nto yet started to fit the 12 gauge ...I would remove just one spoke from your current wheel and and try and fit a single 12 gauge nipple.

If the rim you have has stainless steel inserts, then drilling them is difficult..because they will spin in the rim. I know

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi NeilP

Yes, I already lace the wheel with the 12 gauges spokes. I use a round file, filed a little the stainless steel inserts and the nipples fit. I see this Technic, in a video from Ypedal. I just "screw" one...filed too much.
When I buy this wheel, I buy 2...just in case. It turn out ok, not perfect, but ok. The angle is acceptable.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[NeilP]

That is good.

I only saw that video after I drilled my inserts...difficult as they keep spinning. had to push down on them and sometime flatten them beat them with a shaped punch

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi NeilP

If didn't work, my plane B was to use a DREMEL. Again, I see this in a video, this time from DoctorBass.
My plane C, was to drilled the inserts.

Take care,
Luis Costa.

Hi guys,

Just a little work today. I "pimped" my 18x4115 controller.
I install a temperature sensor on the inside, just to check if there is any changes because of the vinyl cover.
I believe its gone be ok, I see controller inside bags...

Take care,
Luis Costa.

 

[sacko]

Love that!

Which wrap have you used?

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi sacko,

I buy it from eBay, its the 3M. I just pick a god seller.
Avoid the "no-brand" stuff...wen you apply heat they failed.

Take care.

Second that looks great.:

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

In the meantime, just finishing some lose ends.
