Hi
I am from west Norway, where mother nature does her best to keep us soaked at all times.
A while back I got myself a ebay ebike kit. It's a geared front hubmotor kit 250w 24v. I think it is a bafang.
I'm running to 12v 12ah sla batteries in series and getting about 20kph an decent torque.
The kit was bought with the plan to convert an old singlespeed bike to make it look as stealthy as possible, but first I put i installed it on my cheap mtb.
I read that I can make it faster if I give it some more voltage, but how much. running it at about 30v gives a little more speed but not much. I was running a small 1s6p 18650 pack in series with the SLAs.
How much more can I expect if I make or buy a 12ah 30v (8s) lithium pack with 18650 batteries?
I was also wondering if upgrading the controller to a 36v could be cool or maybe a 24v 500W?
I have read a little about programmable controllers who sells those and is it reccomended for a newbie?
BTW I love tinkering and have started to lern some arduino, is there a good solution for a controller using that?
Anyways, this is a awsome forum with almost too much info. Makes it hard to search and find stuff.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for any useful info or other fun stuff
