Hey everyone,
My name is Logan and I'm a homeschooled 15 year old. I work part-time at a market and constantly am trying new things. I love things with wheels and motors (motorcycles, go karts, and so forth) and it's my time to move to electric.
It's time for me to build my first ebike. The more power the better, but I probably don't want to put over 1K in a first build.
I've been wanting to go with a 9C 48v 1000w motor but I know I'll get tired of it. This bike will be for practical trips (getting to work, 12mile roundabout) and also for fun.
I make about $200 a week. I'm considering selling my project dirt bike, but I should really work on it more first to get the best price. That would get me about 1K.
I've been researching batteries and hub motors for a long time. I only want to go with a hub motor, and I'm leaning towards 72v (I'm quite aware of the dangers of high voltages)
I recently ordered 8 of these packs:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...d=100167&rk=1&rkt=15&mehot=pp&sd=172630688902
as I found them to be a great deal. I think even with multiple bmss I can link them together to form a 72v ~20ah pack. If not, I'll just link them into 36v 10ah packs and resell them.
So, any suggestions? I could buy a kit meant for 3-5kw at 72v, but that's most of my budget. I also thought of just overvolting (using a new controller) the 9c motor to 72v and running it at 20-40a. I have a kona dawg deluxe full-suspension downhill mountain bike with 200mm disc rotors, that I can use.
Any info, links, experiences, etc will be appreciated. You'll be seeing a lot of me here.
