Yo!
First build. Am trying to build something really fun to ride...
After deciding non hub is for me (weight distribution, smaller controller, lower (safer) voltage & I actually like the sound they make) I got in touch with Matt Shumaker and ordered some kit.
Spec:
Thanks to: Matt Shumaker, Steve Labib, bobC, Matt Idontwanttopedal and EVERYONE who has helped with suggestions and support on this build.

Naked bike.
The bike today
My friend building the battery box mould out of mdf veneer offcuts. He actually used walnut veneer...!
It's so much easier with great kit and a very skilled cabinet maker (http://www.mosfurniture.co.uk
Priorities for this build -
Strong, good looking, tarmac shredding acceleration, great brakes, range of around 15 miles without trying to economise, room to expand. Burnouts a plus!
NEW PICS

Video rendering just now...check after the break. THIS IS SO MUCH FUN (when it's working!!)
Business End
250 amps. This happened when trying NOT to fall off the back (Brakes VS Motor)
There are a few cables/bits of tape still around, but I am so sick of building - I just want to get out and ride now. It's been almost 5 months of evenings and weekends, time for some reward
cheers
