Hi there!
So I built my son a 3kw kids cross which works great after heaps of help from this forum so now I kinda want to do something for myself as the 1000w scooter I have has no chance to follow my son when he drives off.
At first I wanted a trials bike like oset but after finding out their price its a hard pass.
I got myself a midsize pitbike frame which isnt awesome by any means but good enough starting bike for me. it was free so cant complain, right?
I do have a 2000w hub motor that I got cheaps in what seems to be in a good condition, it drives about 50km/h pretty okayish and tops out at around 65-70km/h when tested on a slightly bigger bike obviously flat road,no wind and fully charged 60v battery. It doesnt do hills at all, its doesnt have enough juice even feels like the 1000w scooter fairs better running uphill than the hub motor.
So I need advice, can something be upgraded on this hub motor, safely? Motor has no information aside from Swedish reseller who writes its a 2000w hub motor. Its big and heavy thou.
Goals?
60-80kmh top speed
Good torque, able to ride uphill,trials and uneven mud/gravel roads - it has to be fun! Not many flat roads where me and my son live.
Can something be done with current motor or should I change it? Can I have recommendations for midsize pitbike
Battery
I have 60V 20Ah 50A continuous and 72V 28Ah semi homemade battery by joining 4x 36V 14Ah ebike battery
I feel range is well enough with these two batteries (tested on sons smaller bike) but want a battery able to draw alot more Amps.
Been looking at 5s lipos 20Ah but they're at 250usd each + shipping to sweden, would need 4x.. its too expensive atm
But also been eyeing pouch cells? Seems alot cheaper, doesnt require spotwelding and kinda what I read is that they handle 100-200A discharge, seems awesome! Reseller
Battery hookup (are they ok/legit?)
Or is there any better ideas, websites etc to buy batteries abit cheaper?
Budget I would say no more than 1200usd i can handle more but only overtime.
Thanks in advance
