Now pretty much done.
I got my 16T free-wheel, put it on with a spacer and chain tensioner. The alignment isn't great, but good enough to clear the tyre and not fall off all three front chain rings. I think one more spacer on the free-wheel could be a good idea, but not sure I will be able to get it off now as I don't have the tool.
I got my 2 x 80A circuit breakers (sorry no photo) and wired them in parallel to make a 160A breaker for the battery.
Fitting the battery in was a nightmare! After adding a bunch of padding, the fit was super tight, and getting it in required a very specific angle and balance of parts. After wrestling with it for 20min I finally managed to get everything in....here's hoping I don't have to remove it any time soon.
I reckon it will be worth it though as this is an 18S 30AH pack, so just under ~2Kwh.
Anyway, here's all the mandatory completed build photo's.
So I already cranked things right up to the max and this beast is already hitting 11KW!
One pretty funny side effect of all this chrome is it legitimately makes it hard to see while riding in bright sunlight without sun glasses on. I was doing a few laps of my street and every time I turned the wrong way into the sun I got temporarily blinded. :lol:
Still to do is the extra freewheel spacer as mentioned, and I also need to mount some variable voltage hall sensors and magnets to the underside of my brake levers for variable regen. Then I just need to tidy up the wires and it's done...potentially for sale for the right price. If anyone is seriously interested, I would accept any offer north of $7500AUD at this stage, anything less and I'm gonna ride it for a while first then reduce the price.
Cheers
