Skippic
100 W
Hi guys,
I've read a lot of posts here on the forum and while very educating most seem to be directed at the fastest, most powerful, fattest e-bike one can get.
It might be my noobieness or maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm simply looking for the most efficient, cheap and inconspicuous build.
Input variables:
I own a 700x35C hard-tail with a sucky suspension fork.
Although I've never ridden an e-bike I strongly believe rear motor is better for me.
My daily commute is 10km(6miles) each way (I intend to charge at work).
My ride is almost flat, no stops, no lights, nothing.
I expect to want to ride without pedaling at 48km/h(30mph).
The e-bike should look like a normal bike.
It should be 100% reliable and last for years.
My proposal:
from cellman:
1000W rear kit $350
16s2p A123 (52.8V 4.6Ah) + 30A BMS $250
2 x 48V 4A chargers $110
Shipping $90
from ebikes.ca:
Cycle Analyst Direct Plug-in Model $120
Shipping $15
Total: $935
From my calculations the battery at that speed should be good for about twice the needed range, so it should last a long time.
Questions:
1. Is MAC the way to go or should I fork out the extra $$$ for BMC?
2. If MAC, what windings are the most efficient at 52V and 30mph? (6T, 8T, 10T, 12T)
3. Is everything on my list compatible?
4. Will I need anything else I didn't take into account?
5. Is the Direct Plug-in Model Cycle Analyst the correct one?
6. Is there a cheaper solution than the CA if I only need amp meter/limiter?
7. With 30mph shouldn't I consider getting a full suspension MTB instead?
Thanks for your help!
