Hi everyone i'm new here and hope this is the right section to post in.
I will be converting a bicycle into an electric one for a college project but would like it to achieve around 40-45mph if possible. I have been thinking of using a motor such as a Turnigy 80-100 130kv from Hobbyking or similar and possibly running some sort of reduction drive as i've seen a project on here using a pocket bike gearbox as a form of reduction. For real performance, well speed i was thinking of using an ETEK motor or one of the variants but these are really out of my price range considering the other costs for batteries, controller etc and i can't seem to find any here in the UK. I would like to steer clear of the hub motors as thats why i would like to make my own bike electrically powered by other means.
If anyone has any suggestions regarding motors etc to achieve the desired speed that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Evan.
