Here's an electric fat bike I built this fall using a Framed Alaskan Bluto from craigslist and a BBSHD motor kit from Luna Cycle. I sometimes run the 52V 6ah Mighty Mini 30Q but more often I run a 52V 17.5ah GA triangle pack. I Mad Maxed it out with some LED truck lights running directly from the main battery.
The lights are TTX Lighting 10-60V floods, $14 shipped on Amazon. I tried wiring them in parallel so I could take one off if I wanted, but the capacitors blew at 56V. Got a refund, ordered a new set and wired them in series, thus cutting the voltage in half. It's really bright - plenty of light for a 35mph bike in pitch darkness. These lights aren't for weight weenies, but neither are fat bikes.

I spent about $2k on this build and it's pretty amazing. Yes, I know you can buy a decent motorcycle or car for $2k. I have a motorcycle and a car already. This does things they can't do.
