Hello,
I want convert a moutenbike to a very cheap currie electric bike,
but still have a couple question.

Wich motor
900W currie design(24v cheaper battery's?)
http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/24-volt-900-watt-motor-controller-throttle-kit-premium.html
or
1000W
http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/36-volt-1000-watt-motor-controller-throttle-premium.html
or
750W
http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/36v-750w-motor-11tooth-currie.html

I prefer the 900W but I don't now wich battery will do the job the best
I want the buy a cheap lifepo4 from bms or ebay (like

http://shop.benl.ebay.be/vpower.hk/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

I want to hide the battery in the frame,so i prefer the slimeline one of BMS but its expensif :)

the controller is in the motor pack
and i go to make the sproket freewheeling

But my question is

Wich motor is the best combination with wich battery?

thank you

I use the Currie 900w motor, it seems to work pretty well. I have a jackshaft setup very similar to the one that guy has on the Soho. I don't get near the range though, nor the speed. I think the limitation on mine is the voltage though and am very highly considering switching to a 36v setup. The 900w motor will take 34 amps though, which I think is plenty tough for a currie build.

And what speed do you reach with the 900w?

I think I go to buy a 600W beacause it's 40 bucks cheaper and is's still 2600RPM
 
Just realized I never replied to that last one. I reach 22 mph, and 25 if I pedal. It says that in my footnotes though...
