Hi,
I have been reading the forums for quite some time. I will soon be in a position where it is practical to own an electric bike for commuting
I was initially looking at getting a MAC 8t complete kit from EM3ev.com as I wanted plug and play simplicity however, after reading about Neptronix and the LEAF motor I thought it would be better than the MAC.
I understand they are completely different motors and if EM3EV supplied anything like it there never would have been a debate but the DD motor is going to be a lot more reliable and is faster and way more efficient!!
Right now the kit im thinking about is the following
Leaf motor 26" 1500w rear (leafbike)
22.1AH 25R Triangle + charger from (Em3EV)
Half twist throttle and ebrake sensor (Em3EV)
18 Fet controller (Em3EV)
CA V3 (Em3EV)
Grin Tech Rev 4 Torque arm (Em3EV)
Am I missing anything?
I intend to draw 60A continuous from the Battery so am I right in thinking I will need some sort of custom BMS? as the standard one from EM3ev is 40A.
The controller is rated for 60A continuous so that doesn't seem to be an issue.
Following Neptronix I then intend to adjust the phase amps to 180A. With this in mind I also was wondering whether Leafbike can install a CA compatible temp sensor?
As I was looking for a plug and play setup does anybody have an idea about what sort of connectors the Leaf motor comes with and if EM3EV can create matching connectors or visa versa?
I understand that Leafbike will supply 3mm phase wires now? is this thick enough for the wattage I intend to put through them? 58.8v x 60A = 3528W
I know a lot of questions, oh and im new so please go easy :wink:
