How do your knees go with the battery box up there? Which case / size is it? Apart from the topheavy looks like a great ride.

me knees/the box aren't a problem. i basically already pedal pretty wide. standing up and pedaling is nearly impossible but is pretty much unnecessary anyway. the box is a pelican 1200. ive just been running 24s1p but plan to expand this to 20s2p of hardcase lipo (still waiting on my shipment - they're back ordered right now). im going to have to open up all the cases and come up with a wiring harness with minimal wiring but they should all fit
This is Craig from Clean NRG, built this bike with him over the last couple of nights with a few beers.
Mac 8T build with 14S 20R pack 9FET on a Focus Planet
http://www.peakcyclesport.com/m1b0s20p69/FOCUS-Planet-TR-1-0-Alfine-Belt-Drive-2013
GREAT bike to start with, no chain / de-railer, lightweight and decent discs. Threw in a new 200mm disc on the front, and a decent Torque arm as well
Out of the box we're surprised easy install with the frame bag making light work of everything.
After a quick charge performance is excellent with it easily ripping rubber off the tyre even with rolling starts.
Appears to go to 60km/hr+ with ease.
This vid shot of 1st commute trip departure doesn't do it justice

I initially did a mid-drive build with this frame but quickly decided that the mid-drive wasn't for me. I traded the mid-drive to a member here on the forum for a MAC 6T. So I scrounged around in the basement to see what I could throw together.
Frame: 2002 Specialized HardRock Pro
Fork: 2004 Marzocchi Drop Off Triple
Motor: MAC 6T
Battery: Samsung INR 18650 29E - 60 cells. 2 packs of 30 cells, 10s 3p for a total of 36v 17.5 ah.
Brakes: Avid elixir 1 - Cheapest hydraulic brakes you can buy
Wheels/Tires: 24" Alex Rims. Electra Fatti-o 24 x 3.00 tires (I love these!)
Controller and Batteries fit in the Leather "handle bar bag" That I have in the triangle.
I took it for it's maiden voyage today and I like a lot. I have another 40 18650 batteries that I can in an underseat bag for another 12 ah. I have a 500w controller on order as well as a 7 speed shifter. Right now it has a 250w controller and it did just fine. Top speed was 24 mph on 36 volts on flat ground with a little bit of wind at my back.
I like this combo so I think it is a keeper

after all the years i don´t have no before pic anymore - but i think this is my only built that looks even better with all the electric stuff on than before.... recently took it all apart, resprayed it matte black, put some new decals on and clear coated it matte - stealthier than the white frame before.
i´ve tried so many different motors up to 3 kw and found my favourite in a small lightweight 250w Xin Feng 320rpm motor, of course the acceleration is nothing like it used to be with the 3kw Puma V3 but it still feels like a bike, weighing ~21kg and using a 4,8Ah 14s3p Sony Konion pack it tops out at 48km/h @57,4 V

i bought it here in Austria - a local ebike shop in Vienna www.elfkw.at
it is really quiet, you can hear it on the first few meters when taking off but it´s not as loud as the other small motors i´ve tested before like the q128 or Puma/Mac

Before was a new yuba frame purchase bare.
Now my wife has a Yuba Mundo with BBS02 mid drive, and I didn't have any plain wheels yet so it has an Ezee motor up front and a Hyena 3540 up back.
Crmo frame and 2.4wide holy rollers make it float like a dream.

That is one sweet looking cargo bike for sure. Nice workstation too
I have started from a old bike that I have restored.
This is the situation right now.
IT's a bafang swxh with a infineon controller 6 3077 from Lyen, limited to 10 A max more than enough, max speed is 37 Km/h, and I have enought torque to climb step hills. No warm at all neither in the controller nor in the motor whatsoever. I don't want to feed more amps as the battery it's small.
It have a 3 speed switch, no throttle, just PAS, and a brake sensor cut, very happy with this setup.
Battery are 3 packs 4S 8000mah each, in series, makes a 12S 8A.
I am babycaring the battery a lot, from 3,7 to 4,10, and leaving them at rest in 3,83 as much as possible.
It's a kind of neverending project as I am always trying to improve or change something.
My main goal was to make a ebike that would seem as normal bike as possible to leave it in the street, as IT's a commuter and I cannot park it inside at work.
I got quite stucked with the voltmeter.
At the begining I was using one of those hobby lipo battery meters inside the bag , but IT's quite a pain in the ass to plug and and unplug, and you have to open the bag to check the voltage.
I needed something that you can check on while riding, for me the concealement is a MUST. I tried to make the bike, the lowest profile, and a voltmeter it's a little bit showy, so I was racking my brains.
I wanted the smallest possible thing but the smallest one I found was this one
So I bought the smallest possible plastic box and epoxied inside.
This was an idea, but not quite concealed
Another idea inside one of those silicone lights straps
This is the final result
I am not quite happy yet and I am planning to buy and aluminum U shape profile to make and enclosement and somewhow cut it and merge it with the handlebar to make it even mor tiny
Another big problem I have its that I cannot see the voltmeter due to sun glare in direct sun light
What I really wanted it's a very tiny lcd display ( like the one in the thermometers, but I could find any ready voltmeter that goes up to 50v in a so tiny lcd, another option would be create a circuit, but that would mean a lot of work and I doubt I would be able to make it tiny enough, and I dont' want to make the circuit in the back side of the bike and route 8 more cables to the handlebar.
Any idea would be appreciated.

I opted for no display.
I left it to Lyen to set the LVC for 12S and he set it at 39V, somewhat low. So I switched to 11S. I carry two packs of 11S/5Ah, so when I hit the LVC, I switch packs and turn around for home.
Or you could go with audible a LV alarm. Or multible ones, set at sucessivive lower values.
Like the bike, stealth is important to me as well.

Daughter and Son-in-law were up last year and took a ride on my Giant. Easy to say they loved it when I saw the grin. ;^) So, thought he deserved one as well. Found a decent used bare frame and bought a new front fork. Had some rims and bars which I stripped and had powder coated locally to match the frame. Summers are hot in Utah so I went with a C-Lite 3540 for a power plant rather than a geared motor. Got one of the first 3540s they put on the market. Needless to say it was junk with the phase wires already rubbed bare at the axle before it even got installed on the bike and these HUGE spoke holes that required washers to even fit in a 12 spoke. What a waste of hundreds of dollars!! So, a couple months back I finally broke down and got a new one as well as a controller and throotle from Grin at ebikes.ca. Came promptly in good shape with no wiring or spoke problems.
Put it together a couple of nights back so had to test it today. It lives officially now although I need to figure out the throttle, shifters, build a battery pack and shorten most of the many wires. So finished pics to come soon. 28-29mph on 48V with a 24 inch rear wheel and Hookworms installed. Good acceleration, smooth and very quiet ride I like it.
Before started as a near bare frame like this although this one is not mine
Powder coated parts, purchased fork built up wheels and put it together to see if things would fit
Put on enough electronics, brakes chain ect to make it ride-able

How wide are the dropouts on the fat bike? Was it difficult to get a motor with an axle that wide?
Thanks

fatbikes are generally a 135 mm dropout for surly 170 for salsa and the carver is 167.5. just need the right spacing on the motor for brakerotor clearance and chainline. let me know what you want to build or are building and ill shoot you some ideas if ya need em.
