G'Day,
I have been browsing and googling and researching E-Bikes for some time now and in doing so it gave me ideas on how i would like my ebike to be.. In the end I found one close to the way i would like it. .but not quite the same..
Anyway, I ended up getting a conversion kit.. which was a 1000w motor with a 48v 6Amh Battery and controller.. this is fine and i am still waiting for parts that they sold with the kit and did not have in stock (like hydraulic brake sensors).. though its performance was not really that impressive.. Now from what i have read, Amps can have a lot to do with how good a motor preforms.. I was able to fit a 9 speed gear on it. although it needs a spacer between the hub and the rotor so the disk can align with the calipers.. I am happy, though i am not happy with the kit i have got because the kit has no torque and can barely get up a 5 degree slope.. I am happy with the speed once it gets going on flat ground (though having a banged up leg was one reason behind the ebike idea)
So here is the non babbling part.. lol (some ideas running through my head)
First idea.
I can modify this kit i have to make it go faster and better... here is how i think i could do.. (your advice and feedback would be appreciated on this part)
If i got a 60 or 72 volt battery and connected it to a converter that gives out 48v and lets say 20 to 40Amp and run that to the controller that gives out 48v 20 or 40 Amp, (in theory) would give it a longer life/distance before needing a recharge right? and would the 1000w motor be able to handle the upgrade from 6Amp to 20 or 40Amp? as i hear motors now a days are made specifically for matching controllers and you cant do to much with them in a modifying sense
Also if by adding a 3 speed switch (which i have read a lot about, though found nothing about how to connect or where to connect the switch) I could also change the speed and set it for one on road.. two off road (mid range speed) and three almost to the max speed for off road..
Second idea..
Scrap the first idea and get another kit with 3000w motor and start from scratch.. though question here is how do you program the controller &/or motor and what would i need in order to program speed and a switch as this kit says it is ready for all attachments.. http://www.theebikemotor.com/produc...gclassname=Products&smallclassname=BLDC Motor
Third idea.. go get a 2000w kit with the speed switch already built into the system/controller and not have to worry about it. for more than the price of the 3000w kit..
Thanks for your help and input.. it is really appreciated from a newbie like me that is fascinated by this because it gives me all sorts questions and new ideas.
Cheers.
