Hey all, I've finished my regular eBike, a Q100c in a Trek FX 2 with an S12S controller, and I would like to build a more "practical" vehicle for getting around my area. My excuse to build something so powerful would be that where I live currently, Prescott AZ, accessing towns just 5 miles away requires taking the interstate, and I need a better way to get around. Also, this would be a whole lotta fun . I've been doing research and modelling for a while, and I've come up with a cafe-racer style electric motorbike using 5 series-modified Nissan Leaf modules for power at 72V. I'm wondering about a motor. I've specced and modelled in a QS205 right now, but I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to power a vehicle such as this up to 50-60 mph. Though it's nowhere near complete, I have come up with this model which shows the general idea for the vehicle.:

It's built from a step-through bicycle with riser bars, with a dual crown upside down fork replacing the stock rigid fork. The bars are tilted sideways and clamped on for a swept-back feel. The bottom bracket serves as the pivot point for the rear suspension, while a steel bar is welded across the top for strength and rigidity. I've modelled in 17 inch dirtbike rims and some cheap rear shocks, along with the 5 batteries. Ideas for what kind of electrical system to run (72 or 12 or 6 volts) are also welcome. I'd be building this after the summer, when I'll have enough money to make it happen.
