Hi, 1st post and I'm new to e-bikes and I want to convert my existing bicycle but I can not find an affordable kit so I want to build a friction drive kit. But before that I want to know if it is worth the cost and benefits.
Please check if my math is right
-I'm looking at "Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6364-245kv Brushless Outrunner Motor" with Max Loading: 70A
Does this mean if I have a 6s battery my max speed is 64.589 Km/hr?
I used this formula
-For the battery, I'm inspired by one of the post here "yet another solderless DIY battery pack via NIB's"
I'll be using "Samsung 3000mAh INR18650-30Q" with Max. Continuous Discharging Current: 15A
So if I do not pedal with 6s5p (22.2volts with 15AH capacity), I'll have 0.2142hours or 12.85 mins
-and the distance without pedal will cover is 13.84KM
I know things above are ideal so I probably lose about 20% in speed and distance. Most of the time I only bike about 20KM, once in a while 60KM.
Can anyone suggest a good ESC or at least what should I look for?
I also need a way for the simple trigger/switch and can somebody explain how to connect this to the ESC. Most of my references are RC videos on youtube and they use wireless controllers that I do not need.
Since I'm still in the planning stage I'm open to suggestions.

I used this formula
Code:
Speed = pi * diameter * KV * voltage * 60min/hr * 1km/1000000mm
= 3.1416 * 63mm * 245turns/volt * (3.7 * 6)volts * 60min/hr * 1km/1000000mm

So if I do not pedal with 6s5p (22.2volts with 15AH capacity), I'll have 0.2142hours or 12.85 mins
Code:
Time = battery capacity / motor load
= 15AH / 70A
-and the distance without pedal will cover is 13.84KM
Code:
Distance = Speed * Time
= 64.589 * 0.2142
