Hello, I'm planning to setup a Hubzila on an E-Solex bike ( http://www.solexworld.fr/en/products/e-solex/ ).
I need also to replace controller and battery, not a problem.
This time i will use Lipo, around 96v 20Ah or 15Ah because the small size rear wheel (17")
Should-i go to an Enetrac motor if there is enought space between arms ? http://www.enertrac.net/product.php#b
What are your thinking about this ?
Thank's

Bonjour (du Québec)!!! In my opinion, these motors are maybe too powerful for a bike like this. Do you have pictures of the dropouts and swingarm of this bike? Looks like you would need extensive modifications to fit a big hub on this bike because of the exrta weight of the batts and motor. You would need to upgrade pretty much everything like the brakes, discs, torque plates, frok, ... etc. I have the Hubzilla on a DH bike and I can tell you that this thing is a beast and it needs strong components to be on the safe side.
 
"Too poweful " Ok that's what I need ! :twisted:
My goal is 0-40Mph in less time as possible. Hubzilla must fit, not Enertrac, I have to check tomorrow.
 
Ok, something around 150mm for rear arm. hubzilla must fit.
Hubzilla invoice from Epmpartner !
Time to find someone to fit it inside a 17" rim, must be easy around Paris.
 
I receive the HPCx00 Usb software from Golden. Looks interesting as you can monitor lots of information in real time:

Small look inside the E-solex controller. Unplug the white cable to unlock the speed limitation (345tr/min).

17" rim, 135cm/tr, max speed is around 30km/h @ 345tr/min.
Capacitors inside the controller are 63v, must be easy to convert to 48v (natively 36v 16Ah batt). I find also a solid state relay for the main power after key switch.

Edit: this is not a solid state relay, this is a 50mOhm resistor with an output, it act like a shunt connected to controller to protect battery from current over 20amps.
 
Controller is listed as 48v 50amp, but BMS is 20 amp. Cannot find infomation about max C for the 10s3p kokam battery pack (SLPB776495).

2C continuous
3C peak
 
I forgot to mention that I will go for 72v (20s lipo or 24s lifepo). I still can not choice between. Reliability or power ? As my primary goal was power, i will go to lipo. Ready to order 20Ah 20s nano-tech ?
 
I blew that controller up,,but when i was using it, was good for 150 battery amps
I have the exact same one and i hope it does not do what mine did.
I had to switch to my kelly...
