Thanks for all the great knowledge you give out for free on this forum!!! You guys rock. I had a similar awesome experience when I got into arcade building a few years back at byoac.org and wound up building a nice Golden Tee ‘MAME’ machine.
I am an avid mtber but, due to injury, I have been road riding with a hardtail carbon Trek Superfly 29er mtb, with skinny tires, that I want to convert to ebike. I would like to commute but it is a bit long, maybe a day or two a week. The route is 25 mi but 18 is flatter railtrail. There is climbing in the other 7 mi with 950 vert ft going in when I would need motor most. Plan is to pedal little on the way in and a lot on the way home. I can recharge at work.
I have done a lot of reading on here and I have zeroed in on BMSBattery.com and their BPM2 kit https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-kit/583-bpm2-36v350w-front-driving-e-bike-motor-wheel-ebike-kit.html with either the 12.5a https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/679-36v125ah-bottle-09-e-bike-battery-pack-battery.html or wondering if it’s worth the extra $100 to go for 14.5a?
Hopefully no flaws so far, bms confirmed that these are compatible.
I am 200 lbs and a somewhat fit rider, I even considered pedaling to work but have not tried it. Do you think this set up would get me to work with minimal pedaling?
Do you think it is worth considering a rear rack or a seat bag battery to try and balance the bike, the bike weighs 25 lbs so adding 18 lbs to the front half of the bike will obviously change things.
I am wondering if there are small upgrades I should be getting, like upgrading the LCD3 screen, I think I saw a throttle with battery gauges on it, anything like better wiring that would be worth spending a few extra dollars.
Should I be doing all of this in 48V?
Thanks again,
Tim
